Defects that often qualify include recurring transmission failures, engine stalling or misfires, electrical system issues, HVAC and Sync infotainment failures, brake or steering defects, and other warranty-covered problems that substantially impair the vehicle’s use, safety, or value.

The number of required repair attempts varies by state lemon law, but most laws require multiple unsuccessful attempts for the same defect, a certain number of days out of service, or one attempt for a serious safety-related defect. A review of your repair history will determine eligibility.

Important documentation includes your purchase or lease agreement, Ford warranty booklet, vehicle registration, all repair orders with dates and mileage, written communications with the dealer or manufacturer, and receipts for towing, rental vehicles, or other related costs.
