Another 2011 GT engine failure
Here is an update.
Ford Motors refused to buy back the car. They said since the car is repairable they can not take it back. They also said that I still have a full warranty on my car so I hope they take it seriously and find out where the discrepancy came from.
Unfortunately this is not the end of the story, I just discovered another problem - I took the car to a local used car dealership to get an estimate and discovered that the heating is not working. After the engine was replaced I noticed a strange noise coming from the engine like like a sound of water running through pipes. I came back to the shop and they said it was normal for Mustangs to have it even tough I never had this issue before. A quick Google search told me that it could be caused by a trapped air in the radiator so I was not very worried as it appeared to be an easy fix.
After the engine was replaced I bought another car and the Mustang was parked near my house ever since. I could not know about this and am taking it back tomorrow. I emailed every one in that shop and also emailed Ford Motors directly. I hope Deysha will have this post on file as well. Man...this was not a pleasant experience, I just want it to be over...

Good luck with this car.

Bay Ridge? The one off the BQE?
I'd blame the dealer. Typical tri-state ford lincoln mercury behavior. Easy to sell a car (sometimes) but service is always a B9tch.
Get them to fix the heater and you'll be fine should anything else happen (I probably wouldn't go back to them though). It's always "we'll cover it this time but etc etc". yeah whatever - like that old crackety neighbor up the block they're always yellin something.
