You boys need to learn some manners. What is it about auto web sites
and haters. I know, it is your constitutional right to say anything you like
on a web site, freedom of speech and all that. Gentleman this is not your
personal kingdom, it is a public forum. People are supposed to be able to
air their opinions and ask questions without being insulted, castigated and
accused of crimes against the auto industry and sport. Moderators, do your
job and encourage discussion and the exchange of ideas---Yes, even ideas
that do not conform to the narrow version of reality that some members
seem to have.

So I was at my local Ford shop yesterday......
They have a new kid working up there, big Mustang enthusiast, he knew of the upcoming SEMA announcement, then said something that made me want to facepalm like a mad man. Take it FWIW, or with a grain of salt, or as pure fantasy, your choice. But the man said they will announce that the tuning won't actually be available until some time in Feb.

TKO
If anybody cares to read the original post it actually says considering consulting an attorney, it does not say I am initiating litigation. Also contained in the post was the question of how others might feel about a Class Action. I did miss the fact that this issue was yesterdays news as far as most forum members are concerned. Got it. I would say however that some ideas may be worth reconsidering particularly when Corporations are clearly not fulfilling their obligation to the consumer/end user. Ford is clearly stringing people along---In a discussion with the owner of the Ford dealership I purchased the car from yesterday, he admitted to being embarrassed and perplexed by Ford's moving target date for the TK--Even he wondered when and if they would fulfill their heavily hyped technological promise to buyers. By the way, I do love the car and did not buy it for the TK "gimmick". I bought the package in part because of the brilliance of the engineering package, including the TK.

OK, psychopharm1, let's see what the outcome of what you're proposing would be:
1) Best case we get the TK for free. Or more likely we get a check for $10.
2) The lawyers get millions of dollars
3) Ford will never, ever, do anything like a TK again.
That's if the lawsuit doesn't get thrown out.
Please explain why we would want this?

We have also covered that its not Ford but Carb that is keeping the track key off the streets right now. Also CA has a blame thread on this matter.
If you are returning the car for the simple reason of a the track key that tells me you did buy into the gimmick and that is the one and only reason you have given to "return" the car.

If ever Boss owner would stop acting like a heard of sheep and start inundating Ford with complains about the release TracKey just maybe they would have the courtesy to give us better information about TracKey.

I am not an ambulance chaser nor do I play one on TV. Therefore, I am not trolling for anything but the release of TracKey.

That sounds like a great idea! You know what they say the squeaky wheel gets the grease. So I get the TracKey first and you can wait another 6 months for your TracKey to be released at your local Ford dealership.
Works for me!

I love my Boss and each one of us bought them with the expectation of having TracKey by mid to late summer but I feel we all agree “soon” is no longer an answer.
TracKey was not an option our salesman tried to sell us when we purchased our Boss; it was advertised by Ford before the Boss was on the showroom floors.
It is bait and switch? Perhaps; perhaps not - that is not for me to decide; for now. My issues are with Ford not my Boss. We get nothing but roomers ….next month, next month. Well I am tired of Ford being voiceless about TracKey.
Regardless of who’s at fault no one can refute the fact FMC has been unwilling and/or unable to be forth coming about the release of TracKey!
I talked to Lisa Chiladakis at the California Air Resources Board Public Information Offices. She told me the emissions rating are by engine size and TracKey should not be any different than an aftermarket tune kit i.e. SCT Power Flash Tuner.
It is hard to believe the Boss with TracKey would have a significant higher Emission Ratings than the Shelby GT500.
Whether you agree with me about a class action law suit; one thing we all have in common besides owing a Boss is: Ford is yanking every Boss owner’s chain about the release of TracKey.
