My ST, Ellie Mae, will lose her warranty in the first part of March. So far the extended warranty has been great, saved me lots of $$$. BTW she is a 2001 with 74+K on her. My biggest concern is the tranny. Before there was a 2-3 flare which was very apparent in cold conditions but warmer weather would mask the situation. Finally the O/D light came on for the dealer to "duplicate" the problem and the gasket, solenoid, etc... was fixed, supposedly. A flare reoccured and still happens when shifting between 2-3 but only when it is cold and it's not that bad but happens. It is Feb so it happens every day until the truck warms up. I can't afford to give the dealer another $100 (deductable) just to say we can't duplicate the problem.
I think it needs to be on record that the problem that occured before, which eventually led to a O/D light, is still occuring. How do I approach the dealer? I love my ST and I've made the decision to keep her (it was a long and hard decision). What would you do? Should there be some kind of guarantee on the previous work? I feel that at the minimum it needs to be on record that there is stilll a problem. Ideas and opinions are appreciated.
