Kinda gives new meaning to the term, "Found On Road Dead."
Seriously, though, he's gone from detailing a story of VERY, VERY poor service and being f*** around by the dealership, to one where he now says everything is hunky dory?? Weird.
Personally, he has more patience than me. At the first sign of the f*** around, I would've been on the phone to my attorney, and he would have been in touch with the dealership, and they would have provided a brand new car or a law suit would have been brought against the dealership and Ford Corporate if either refused to deal with it PRONTO!! There would have been NO mucking around!
Too many of Ford's dealerships need an enema.
The import crowd live for this stuff - and American automakers keep giving them all the fodder they need.

12/9/04 (Thursday) – I received a courtesy call from Larry Hill Ford asking how I was enjoying my newly purchase vehicle, to which I responded that he should probably check with the service department on that matter.
I had that happen to me. I turned a car into a dealer for a warranty issue. I ended up selling the car back to them so I could get my parents T-Bird. A few days later I got a call asking if the repairs had been satisfactory to me. I told her to check with the used car deprtment where my car was.

Granted, I would be upset as well if it were my car, but, I couldn't realistically expect a new car. They would have to fix the scratches and broken window mechanism.

Well... I think it all comes down to the competancy of the dealer techs.. If it failed a compression test in 2 cylinders, a leak down test should have been done before the heads were pulled. It's because they didn't do that first that they wound up in this perdicament. I'm sure Ford would have replaced the motor no questions had that all been done before the motor was pulled... but then again... is there a proceedure that is spelled out?
Anyways.... Ford made good with him, and that's all that matters.

I would be talking to a Lawyer Right Now, if I was that guy, and kept getting the run around like he is! There are LAWS that deal with situations like this. Warantys are there to protect the consumer, but like this guy stated, He Bought a NEW CAR and has been robbed of that experience. Engine Removal and Damage done to the Engine Compartment from it can seriously affect the value of the vehicle. Not to mention if the Engine is Replaced, then it will not have Matching Numbers, which we all know can mean thousands of Dollars Difference in a Mustang, To a Collector, in the future.
Ford Can easily Buy Back his car, Fix the problems and then resell the car as a used vehicle to recoup their losses, and make their Obviosly Fathful and Brand Loyal Customer Happy. I would settle for nothing short of a Replacement Mustang Exactly Like the Car I Purchased.

Just like insurance. Insurance is supposed to pay you for the loss in value upon an accident/incident. Even if it is repaired, there is still a value lost.
But I am glad to hear he is getting what is rightful.

Warranties read repair or replace at the manufacturers discretion.
Insurance gives you the amount of the repair minus deductible. If it is totaled, they give you the fair market value for the car. They don't care if it is cherry clean or beat to crap or has a new engine. The average value of the car is what you get.
Don't get me wrong, I feel sorry for the guy. I hope it never happens to me. But, reality is, he doesn't automatically get a new car for those reasons. Lemon laws don't apply to this either. Ford may choose to replace the car, if they want to to keep him happy. I hope they do.

I read somewhere on that site today, that the gentleman stated that Ford was sending him a new engine, didn't read he was getting another car?
