Warranty

3. The new vehicle limited warranty for your
2006-model Escape Hybrid/Mariner Hybrid
Your NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY gives you specific legal rights. You
may have other rights that vary from state to state. The New Vehicle Limited
Warranty is the only express warranty from Ford that applies to your vehicle.
Ford and the Ford Motor Vehicle Assurance Company neither assume nor authorize
any other person or entity to assume for it any other obligation or liability in
connection with your vehicle or this warranty.
Ford, Ford Motor Vehicle Assurance Company and your dealer are not responsible
for any time that you lose, for any inconvenience you might be caused, for the loss of
your transportation, or for any other incidental or consequential damages you may have.
You may have some implied warranties. For example, you may have:
• an implied warranty of merchantability (that the car or light truck is
reasonably fit for the general purpose for which it was sold); or
• an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose (that the car or light
truck is suitable for your special purposes).
These implied warranties are limited, to the extent allowed by law, to the time
period covered by the written warranties, or to the applicable time period
provided by state law, whichever period is shorter.
Some states do not allow Ford or Ford Motor Vehicle Assurance Company to limit
how long an implied warranty lasts or to exclude or limit incidental or consequential
damages, so the limitation and exclusions described above may not apply to you.
NOTE: This information about the limitation of implied warranties and the
exclusion of incidental and consequential damages under the NEW
VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY also applies to the EMISSIONS
WARRANTIES described on pages 12–20.
Ford participates in the BBB AUTO LINE warranty dispute resolution program.
You may contact BBB AUTO LINE by calling 800-428-3718.
You are required to submit your warranty dispute to the BBB AUTO LINE
before exercising rights or seeking remedies under the Federal Magnuson-Moss
Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. § 2301 et seq. To the extent permitted by the
applicable state “Lemon Law”, you are also required to submit your warranty
dispute to the BBB AUTO LINE before exercising any rights or seeking
remedies under the ‘‘Lemon Law’’. If you choose to seek remedies that are not
created by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or the applicable state “Lemon
Law,” you are not required to first use BBB AUTO LINE to resolve your dispute
– although the program is still available to you.
For more information regarding the BBB AUTO LINE program, see page 25 of
this booklet.
