I have a Ford Maverick, but I want to buy some aftermarket parts to dress it up a bit. However, when I purchased the Maverick I also bought a warranty, and I'm afraid if I attempt to upgrade my truck too much, I might void my warranty. Therefore, before doing anything, I figured the best thing to do was call the Ford warranty center and talk to someone. I know the lines are usually recorded as well so I figured that would protect me in case something went wrong down the line. 

My Maverick is only a few months old, so I really don't want to do anything to hurt the value, but I do want to make some adjustments to really make it mine. People are probably on the phone with Ford all the time talking to them about warranty issues or recall issues. I suppose some people use them for financing as well and that can lead to an entirely new slew of issues. People probably call about leases too, but I'd never lease because then I know I can't add any extra flair to my truck. 

When I called this number, an automated voice assistant answered and greeted me by saying, "Welcome to the Ford customer relationship center. In a few words, please say why you're calling today." I replied, "Talk to someone about my warranty." It then repeated back to me, "You have concerns about your warranty, is that right?" I answered yes, but then it asked for the make and model of the car that I was calling about. I kept saying Ford Maverick, but there was too much noise in the background of my call or the system was glitching because it wouldn't recognize my response. 

After about four attempts, the system said it was going to transfer me to someone who could help. I don't know how much longer it would have taken if it had listened to me, but I probably skipped some steps so that was fine with me. I was then on hold for about 4 minutes, then Rob picked up the phone. Rob had a semi-thick accent but I could understand him enough to get through the phone conversation. It took a little time to look up my warranty and the details, but Rob was able to walk me through what I could and couldn't do if I wanted my warranty to remain valid. So, while the system didn't work exactly right, it ended up working out in my favor.
