He started spamming every Mustang forum around about how the MT82 was garbage and Ford was evil. I think his goal was to get Ford to give him a TR6060 which obviously was never going to happen. Before it was all said and done he ended up getting enough idiots to complain to the government and they did an investigation. End result being that there was a very small percentage of cars that had to be fixed, which Ford was already taking care of, but that the majority of the complaints were simply driver error. Ford told Matero to pound sand(after doing everything they could to help him) and he got banned from every respectable Mustang forum.

I think that's it in a nutshell. If i got anything wrong I'm sure it will be pointed out shortly.

Wow thx for the history. This dude sounds like a real class act. Hopefully, with mine being manufactured in November of 2011, most of these issues (if any at all) were addressed by ford themselves.

Edit: a 500+ page thread?..... Wtf

My '11 was built on Jun 25th and I have no issues with the 6m tranny or any other part of the car.

The members on this thread are correct, bh6247. Your new ride will be just fine. If you happen to experience any concerns with it, bring it in to your dealer and PM me so I can help.
