| Description of the problem | My vehicle's warranty is 5 years/60,000 miles. Since this week i have heard a metal scratch noise from the vehicle during driving on the road. I brought my vehicle to ford dealership shop, it is found that rear axle seal has been damaged with oil leakage. Unfortunate, the repair is not covered by warranty because it has been 5 year, although the mileage is only 43500 miles. |
