Did they hold a gun to your head and force you to sign it? If so, you should be able to go to the police and press charges. Just curious, how did they force you to sign it? I've been in situations where they "strongly encouraged" me to buy it and I just walked out.

$1100 seems to be overpriced for a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty thats probably not backed by Ford, I would see if you can get a refund and get buy an extended warranty through Ford. Most likely any repairs that you will have to have done the dealership where you signed the contract would want you to have them done at their own service dept.

Warranty from ClickEverythingAuto.com by mazdagrl2

I purchased a warranty from www.clickeverythingauto.com To date this was a great purchase. I have only had one claim but everything was covered and I had a zero deductible. How can I complain.
My husband bought a roadside program from clickeverythingauto as well. I think before anyone buys they should review their program. Just my opinion since we had good results.

Thanks to those of you that responded to my post regarding my question about GM Extended Warranties. I have decided that I'm most definitely going to buy a GM warranty for my '07 GMC Acadia and not the EasyCare warranty that my dealer wants me to buy. I want the warranty that's going to be there in the long-term and one that my car manufacturer is going to back.

Since this is your first post and your other one is identical, it's likely that most people are going to think you're only here to shill for that company. Just sayin...

Good luck on your Highlander. The Platinum Coverage is riddled with interpretive legal jargon that essentially makes it worthless. I am sorry I ever bought the Toyota Platinum Extended Service Agreement and believed in it when I was fooled into buying it. It's a shame Toyota has to resort to low measures on maximizing profit through deceitful mechanisms.
 
Hope your Highlander does not have the problems that now appears to be a chronic symptom. Hope your Highlander does not stall out while driving on the road.
 
Good Luck with everything.

I purchased the Platinum coverage for my certified 06 Camry for basically piece of mind the finance manager explained everything quite well and i didnt notice anything out of the ordinary or high pressure, it may not be for everyone however if you have a part thats not covered under the powertrain warranty its good to have the backing coverage instead of paying unwanted out of pocket costs.

The trouble with any warranty that has exclusions is the exclusions .
 
Even an original new car factory "powertrain warranty" is not that much good unless you have a serious problem. An idle control valve went bad on a car we used to own and the car could hardly be started and driven and would die at idle. Hey, I though, we are still under the powertrain warranty so lets have the dealer fix it for free. Clearly this is part of the powertrain and the motor will not run without it. Nope, only "internally lubricated parts" are covered by the factory powertrain warranty. I got a used valve for $20 from the junk yard and fixed it myself.
 
You are not the only one that like peace of mind, that is why the F&I folks can see so many of these at such high prices. No matter if it is high pressure or fear, folks cave in a buy them and usually at a really high price. I have seen folks in the Honda forum deal down to invoice on the car then pay 2x or more in the F&I room for HondaCare than is costs to buy online. They did all their homework on the price of the car then were sand bagged on the warranty.
 
I would advise anyone looking to get a factory backed warranty to get online price quotes before you buy the car - just like you look up invoice and get quotes for the CAR itself. Then if you decide you want the warranty and they push you in the F&I office you pull out your cheapest online quote for the same policy and ask them to beat it. If they can, then buy it. If they can't, that should at least shut them up .
