    Transmission Fault 2006 LR3

    Over the weekend my '07 LR3 would not get out of Park. The messages on the dash were "Transmission Fault Limited" & "Special Program Off" & "Suspension Fault" and instead of a D for drive an F was showing on the gears as well as the engine light being on. Luckily I was able to use the manual...

    Zeigler Ford/FordFactoryPlans ?

    Michael Case runs the website (which is technically a Ziegler Ford affiliate only and does ONLY bulk sales of the ESP plan, hence the low pricing), but he NEVER responds!!! lol I've left him umpteen emails to no avail for over 2 months, as I'm sure tons of other people here have. However, if...

    Extended Warranties

    Shown below is a screenshot of the prices being offered for the 6 year (i.e. 2 additional years from om warranty) and 7 year (i.e. 3 years additional to om warranty) through Ziegler Ford.

    Extended Warranties

    @ Young For absolute certain, the $2600 quote is for 5 year/100k (w/ $100 deductible) in effect from date I purchase it. Dana even offers 6 & 7 year/125k option packages, but the price jumps significantly to $3800 for 6y/125k so I didn't even bother asking about 7 year. Dana's # is...

    Extended Warranties

    Follow-up re Ziegler Ford Ok, so I spoke to Dana from Ziegler Ford who tells me the website is affiliated with them but that Michael Case is the guy who runs it and it's basically a stand-alone unit.

    Extended Warranties

    I'm leaning towards FordESP personally, but it's only for an additional 3 years basically. I ideally wanted something that give me an additional 5 years or up to 100k miles, but it doesn't look like that's feasible. I'm also waiting to hear back from another member who is actually...
