A 38 year old who works 12 hours a day and with a little kid and a wife that is expecting another child soon, is going to find the time he did not have to have a normal lunch to troll and misinform people. Such an irresponsible message.

 

+2 New user with problem making new threads everyday.

 

Before finding this forum I did not even know what mods were. The last thing I would do is alter a perfectly fine engine.

 

Well, congratz on the new kid on the way, and ill leave you too it, glad ford is fixing it for you.

Irresponsible Person out
Peace

 

Why would ford replace it if wasn't there fault? They won't replace the motor is gone again? If it's under warranty why wouldn't they. Something seems weird here.

 

Don't take it personal. If you had been here the last year or two, with a number of phony whacko problem threads - with no proof - most by new posters that go away when called on it, you'd be gun shy too. A large number of TMS members are experienced mechanics so bs sounding claims don't fly very well.
After all, this is the internet and everything is suspect to thinking people.

 

Fish oil? Something about this whole thing sounds fishy.

 

Fish oil....that's where the 13 gets the extra hp!

 

Thank you. I do understand that this is a Mustang forum and people are very attached to their cars and some can not believe that something serious can go wrong with their cars. It can happen to any car from any maker. I love my Mustang, this is why I came to this forum to seek an advise from people familiar with the car. I'm not bashing it, not complaining, just wanted to share and see if someone could give me an advise on what I need to do. Just glad it worked out for meand wish the call from the shop came a little earlier, before posting here...

 

Ford mechanic here. Oil (unless it was pouring into the cylinders) will not destroy an engine. Especially an oil and gas mix. That's why I'm calling bs on their story unless you left some details out.

 

I do not know if oil presence was the reason, or it made it's way to the fuel system after something else happened. I'm not a mechanic and I'm the last person to hypothesize about the culprits. All I know is what I'm told by the mechanics at the shop. I did not leave anything out, but it seems that nothing I say will convince some people here that I say the truth. Thank you anyway.

 

Not saying you lying. I'm telling you the mechanics are feeding you bs! Oil in no way can enter the fuel system. So someone put it in. And even if someone put some in. It would not destroy the engine. They are straight lying to you.

 

Is testing the fuel for oil a normal thing to do when a car is brought in?

 

No. In a diesel yes.

 

Not saying anyone is full of it......but going thru the customer service rep would let us all know what is really happening. Customer service can help even if not really needed.

 

+1....that's what I was thinking.....someone at the dealership is feeding you a line of crap. No way they would be covering it if it was vandalism.

 

Yigal,

Why didn't you take the car direct to a Ford dealer?

When your wife took the car to the shop did she drive it there?
It's strange that your wife drove it there it just ended up dead after they looked at it.

 

The place is called Bay Ridge Ford. They do not sell cars there but they are probably associated with one of our local dealerships here in Brooklyn. My wife took the there on Monday morning it started fine, and she drove there without any issues. It is very interesting that the car suddenly died while in the possession of the shop. I will send the VIN number to Deysha in hopes she can find out exactly what happened.

 

Odd....when the Bay Ridge Ford is googled, it shows as a full line dealer....not just a repair shop. The service dept. does have a different address than the sales but still a full dealer opened in 2010.

 

I'm sorry but I'm always weary of new posters posting about major issues as their first couple of posts......

odds of this being legit....currently at 50/50 IMO
