gatorfan69 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Not sure if I should have dealer install hitch or should I go a different route. One dealer says it will void my warrenty. The one putting it on says it won't . Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Just get it in writing, and signed by the owner of the dealership, that your warranty will not be voided. I have no problems with our dealership (Maplecrest in Union, NJ) but my sister in law got screwed BIG TIME at the dealership where she bought her Five Hundred from, regarding her extended warranty.

gatorfan69 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Received my Edge with the dealer install hitch, I am happy with it and I do like how it looks. I also like how they put the plug for the wireing. I will post picks later. Wife has it now. :offtopic: Hey Akirby everything ok here??? I know your lurking out there some where.

Grey Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Any aftermarket accessory installation that causes a related or direct failure will raise a flag with the service warranty guys. It does not void your warranty just because it was installed - only if it causes a problem. For example: hitch install without transmission oil cooler (where the factory hitch includes the cooler) and the transmission/engine overheats. Not Ford's responsibility. Installation of a wiring harness shorts and takes out a computer - not Ford's responsibility. Aftermarket power amps take out speakers, mounted spoiler causes a leak into the trunk, oil soaked intake filters foul the mass air flow sensor, etc. Not Ford's responsibility. I wouldn't worry about it if the installer knows what they are doing and how you will be towing. If you are planning on exceeding the recommended limits, they should tell you the risks and you should accept them on your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
