Does Ford have a lifetime warranty on transmission?

No, Ford does not offer a lifetime warranty on its vehicle transmissions. Ford's standard warranty coverage for transmissions is 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, some Ford models may have extended warranty coverage options available for the transmission system.


Ford's Transmission Warranty Coverage


Ford's standard new vehicle limited warranty covers the transmission and transaxle for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. This warranty covers any defects in materials or workmanship in the transmission components.


In addition to the standard warranty, Ford may offer extended warranty coverage options for the transmission on certain models. For example, the Ford Powertrain Limited Warranty provides coverage for the transmission for 6 years or 70,000 miles. Customers should check with their local Ford dealer to see what extended warranty options may be available for their specific vehicle.


Why Ford Does Not Offer Lifetime Transmission Warranties



  • Transmissions are complex mechanical systems that wear out over time and use. A lifetime warranty would be very costly for the automaker to provide.

  • Most transmission issues occur within the first 5-10 years of a vehicle's lifespan. After that, the risk of major transmission failure decreases significantly.

  • Offering a lifetime warranty could encourage some customers to keep their vehicles longer than they normally would, reducing new vehicle sales.

  • Automakers typically design transmissions to last the average vehicle lifespan of 10-15 years with proper maintenance. A lifetime warranty is not considered necessary.


While Ford does not offer a lifetime transmission warranty, their standard 5-year/60,000-mile coverage and available extended warranty options provide comprehensive protection for most customers. Proper maintenance and care of the transmission is still recommended to maximize its lifespan.
