my 3yr bumper to bumper is about tu run out. What should I look to get done before it runs out. Do you guys think they would replace the leather if it has creased and wrinkled?

 

Sorry to say, but they won't replace the leather. Its a wear item, and its normal for leather to crease and wrinkle.

 

I thought they would replace the leather one time within your warranty period?

 

is there any other items i should look to get replaced or fixed b4 it runs out

 

I think they will replace it if there is excessive wear or a major problem with the seat. A few wrinkles isn't excessive.

 

Mine runs out in March and I'm going to try to get my stereo replaced because of the paint that's falling off the buttons. If they won't cover it for that, I'll just tell them I'm having problems with the CD player.

You can always look through the TSB's and see if any of the problems look familar to you.

 

good luck with the leather, if you get it fixed lmk. id be interested in getting mine changed out later if it gets bad. i do have a little crease in mine now but not too big though

 

For the leather seat, if the foam has collapsed, they will replace the foam, and only the foam. The only way they will replace the leather under warranty is if there stitching comes out or there is a major flaw. Wrinkles is not a flaw as that is a normal wear and tear that leather goes through. No different than a leather coat. I had a problem with the foam. Ford replaced the foam and the leather was stretched a little to get rid of some wrinkles but if they stretch it too much then you would end up with seam problems later on.

 

I would look into replacing your (soon to be) expired warranty with an extended one. My local service guy said he can sell one @ cost - I didn't ask how much they are running for.

 

ill look into it forsure

 

Be careful with trying the cd player being bad if its not. A good dealer's shop will still have a tech look at it before they order a new one. Plus they dont order one from Ford anymore. They go though a Ford authorize radio repair shop and get an exchanged unit..If they do get a exchange unit and then send your old radio to the repair shop and if they dont find anything wrong with it the dealer will get charged back and in return you could get charged for the radio. And it could cost up $500.00 or more for the radio.

 

they replace mines with a new one, because i said the paint was chipped

 

^^^ What he said.

Just make sure you get a real Ford warranty and not some useless aftermarket one.

The only things that legitimately can be fixed are problems that show symptoms mentioned in the TSBs. I would suggest identifying things that shake, rattle, leak, buzz, or do not function and that annoy you. Then check that against the TSB list here.

If your vehicle is trouble free at this point, either buying an extended warranty or putting away money for a larger repair later are 2 things that could be done if you want to be cautious.

Good luck!

 

Roof moldings!!!!

 

Get all your rattles fixed if there are any.

 

Reason #2 why I didn't order leather.
This is normal wear.

 

All I can say is try, My F150 driver side seat began to wrinkle and discolor on the edge and they replaced my seat leather.

 

Mines running out too.....All us who got the new 05's warranties are ending. AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh
