Bought my 2003 Focus used Sept 2006. Three year factory warranty was about to expire so I bought the "ExtraCare" warranty for almost $1000. Five months later couldn't use the remote or the interior button to open the rear door (station wagon). The wire harness had to be replaced which was covered by warranty, however, four months later the hatch or latch actuator died, not covered by warranty! To repair will cost over $500. It's stupid that the wire harness (covered by warranty) which connects to the actuator is not covered. go figure??
