“12m02 -- I took the vehicle in for this extended service plan twice during while it was still active. Both times the dealership tried to play it off as not under the warranty and software issue not hardware . They even charged me for the service over $250 worth of updates . That did not even fix the issue with the display turing off while the vehicle is operating making most of the vehicles functions useless. The dealership is now denying to fix the problem and ford/Lincoln is claiming it is out of warranty. …”
