Under no circumstances do they have to warrant any fault on your vehicle anymore. Its not upto the dealer its upto ford motor company. 9 months out of warranty you would be oh so lucky to get 20% after warranty assistance but its definitely worth a shot! Stranger things have happened and the fact you have mostly ford service history will work in your favour! Its a known fault also so good luck all you can do is try!

mrg6et Member 27 Member For: 12y 8m 6d Posted 26/12/12 09:35 AM Author Share Posted 26/12/12 09:35 AM According to the ACCC:"How long do consumers’ statutory rights apply?Statutory rights are not limited to a set time period. Instead, they apply for the amount of time that is reasonable to expect, given the cost and quality of the item.This means a consumer may be entitled to a remedy under their statutory rights after any manufacturer’s voluntary or extended warranty has expired. For example, it is reasonable to expect that an expensive television should not develop a serious fault after 13 months of normal use. In this case, the consumer could argue the item was not of merchantable quality and ask for it to be repaired, even if the manufacturer’s voluntary warranty had expired".Hopefully this applies to vehicles!!! I used to work in a retail computer store and soon learnt that a manufacturers warranty doesn't mean anything... Expired or not! Ill try my luck!

mrg6et Member 27 Member For: 12y 8m 6d Posted 26/12/12 10:40 AM Author Share Posted 26/12/12 10:40 AM lol I used to work at HN too! Every body knows how to get what they want from them. Off topic, but how's this:When I worked at HN we had a lady walk in who bought a baby monitor from the U.S and wanted to buy a power adapter for it. One of the sales guys recommended a U.S connection plug (the correct one), the lady didn't want to pay the $10 and said it was to expensive and went to Kmart and bought one. Turned out she needed adapter and a voltage adapter and she fried the baby monitor and caused some damage to the power circuit and had to call an electrician out. She complained to HN head office about the "advise" she was given, HN head office then made my franchisee replace the baby monitor and cover all costs from the sparky because they didn't want it to go any further or get media involved.
