How does Ford’s warranty work?

I think I need to take my Ford Escape in for repairs, but I’m not sure how to get them covered by my warranty. How does a warranty work?

Sorry to hear that your Ford Escape is having car trouble! If you want your repairs covered by your Ford warranty, you must get the repair work done by an authorized Ford dealer.
Before you take your car anywhere for repair, call your Ford dealership to see if it can handle your repairs under warranty. Some dealerships specialize in different repairs. Your dealership will provide you with instructions on where to take your vehicle and how your warranty will be applied—it’s likely the car will have to be assessed first for damages to make sure the warranty coverage applies.
If your warranty has expired or if the damages are a result of an accident, missed maintenance, or another incident not covered under the warranty, you’re going to need a reliable insurance plan to fill in the gaps—and make sure you don’t go broke paying for repairs!
