My Expedition is currently getting the timing chains and cam phasers replaced to fix the notorious cold start rattle. The dealer said that once the 5 year 60k powertrain warranty is up the repair/parts will not be covered anymore and the repair itself does not carry a warranty. So considering the repair would cost me $4200 if not covered under warranty I'm purchasing the extended warranty.
Out of curiosity I called corporate and found out the repair does carry a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty. Also found out the cam phasers are technically not covered under the powertrain warranty but instead covered under the emissions warranty which depends on your state. So for New York (California emissions state) there is a 7 year 70,000 mile emissions warranty.
Should I still purchase the extended service plan 48/48,000 for $1,890? Already spending $200 on new spark plugs and $900 on new tires(Nokian WRG4).
