Electrical System Failure
I have a smaller town dealer and they always put me in something as a loaner (last time was a 2011 F150). Even the big town dealer (town of 165k people) gives out loaners if your vehicle will be in the shop multiple days.
Just seems like another way for the dealer to push you into an upsale...

As for the extended warranty, check Flood Ford. 5Yr, 125K miles for approx. 800.00, includes a 10 day loaner.
Already has paid for it self as mine was in the shop for a month and Ford paid for the loaner the whole time

Yes I do feel like this is a way to strong arm you into getting an extended warranty! Im just so upset, I feel like taking my loses, selling my truck and buying anything but a FORD. When you pay $47.000 for a Vehicle, one just expects more.

The price of the vehicle is 100% irrelevant. You paid for the vehicle, not the dealership's service. If the loaner car wasn't guaranteed, don't expect it. This discussion comes up a lot.
It's a big decision to move away from an auto maker just because you didn't get a loaner. Whether or not you get a loaner has nothing to do with the quality of the vehicle itself.
I'm not sure what you want, friend. Just to vent or bash Ford on here, I guess?

Has nothing to do with strong arming you into an extended warranty. It is simply an additional perk the extended warranty provides.

I have a F150 Lariat with 28,000 miles that is having Navigation Fault, Cross Traffic Fault lights, AC, and Nothing in Dash works when this happens. It's in the shop now for work. But my dealer does not give Rental cars, or loaner cars for warranty work. Is this common with all Ford Dealers? I was told that if I had purchased an Extended Warranty a Rental car would have been provided? How does one shop around for the best price for an extended warranty through ford? I not really happy with Ford right now, and not sure if I will ever purchase another. Was really close to buying my second car, was looking at the Ford Explorer but now having second thoughts, any suggestions?
