Ford Service Tech Abuses Mustang - CAUGHT ON TAPE

[Colton1211]

Link? There's a billion other mustang forums.

I didn't know if it was okay to link other forums or not here. Its on fast ford muscle but I'm pretty sure he made the thread in the protected section of the forum.

I wish I could say the same, I really do. But if something needs to be fixed and it's covered under warranty I don't see any way around it besides paying out of pocket myself. My car is going in for a minor tsb on Monday for the vent cap on the axle and this thread has me nervous and trying to think of a way to make sure my car doesn't get abused.

Of anything breaks, I'll fix it myself with better parts so it doesn't break again. I'm going to make an overflow tank for the pumpkin.
I will never let a dealer touch my car.

How many of you remember when Race Rat had her Sonic Blue Terminator taken out for a high speed joyride by a Ford dealership employee... who then bragged about it on the internet. He got raped and lost his job...

U.M.

LOL! We think alike U.M. I saw this thread this morning and instantly throught of what Tracey went through. That was epic!

I'd just stick a gopro in the back window and turn it on with extended battery and a 64 gig card. Should be enough for an hour or two of continuous video depending on resolution you choose. Don't know if that would be enough for you, depending on if you can hang out while they do it or not.

I don't have a go pro and the dealer is saying I need to leave the car for a few days which is stupid for them to need a few days to replace a little cap in my axle in the first place

I always document the mileage before leaving my Cobra anywhere.

very sad..hope the owner of the car gets justice...wish i could see the video but i am sure it would make me more paranoid about any dealer service...

 

[WireEater]

Video removed... wonder what happened

Pretty simple. The video was removed.

 

[WireEater]

They probably have an way to override the system if they needed to.

Also i know it was mentioned that Florida is a dual consent state but doesnt that negate the point of catching someone doing something? How do convenient stores and retail stores get away with it?

I was told that Florida is a dual consent state with the exception of your home or vehicle.

Could you post a sticker on your inner window stating that you're being recorded? Then that would state that they are aware if it was clearly visible.....would'nt it?

damn, sucks the video has been pulled...

Not really. Just a couple of fat pieces of shit abusing someones ride. Hope those idiots end up cleaning toilets because they should never be allowed near anyone's car ever again.

Thank you for the obvious reply.

I would not have had any idea otherwise.

 

[Blown99GT]

I'm waiting to hear from the local community since im in Florida close to this dealer. I'd like to see the video, i cant believe nobody has it ripped from youtube

 

[BlueSnake01]

Didn't something like this happen to a ZL1 owner? I believe the car was crashed and the dealer didn't wanna pay a penny. They offered him a used ZL1 with more miles close to what he paid for a new one. Financed of course.

We tried this once...

But our reason was a little different. It had a rod knock and was out of warranty by about 6k miles, we KNEW we could get it covered under warranty if it was a catastrophic failure. Couldn't get it to blow up, still got the manufacturer to pay for 90% of it though. Customer was very pleased. New long block installed for $600!

I'd rather not say the company or the dealer.
