Ford Warranty4Life

Hi,

I recently bought a used ford c-max and got a Warranty4Life cover as part of the deal. 4 months later I've noticed that the car has started veering to the left. ie. if I take my hands off the wheel the car will start steering left. We rang the showroom where we bought it from and they said we'd need to bring it and and let them run a diagnostic (for £95!) to see if it's covered by the warranty.

This seems pretty steep to me, particularly as we only bought the car fairly recently. I've checked to see if it's anything obvious like a deflated tyre on one side but it all seems fine.

Any advice from anyone who has the Warranty4Life cover?

thanks in advance
Mike M

    Maybe the tracking needs adjusting or a bush has worn.

    Take it to your usual mechanic for them to take a look for you.

    thanks, I think if I can't get ford to look at it I'll just take it into kwik fit and get them to look at the wheel alignment
