You really think so? I had one warranty repair on my S197 -- new power steering module. I was told that if it wasn't in warranty, it would have cost $7,000 to repair, since it required removal and replacement of the entire engine to get at the power steering module, and that removal and re-installation of an engine was a $6,000 labor cost.

If you throw a rod because you're overboosted, it could easily cost you $8,000 for the new engine plus another $2,000 for accessories and another $8,000 for labor for getting everything hooked back up to its pre-mod state.

You sure you want to risk that?

This is a prime example of how much fear these dealerships are shoving down the uninformed peoples' minds! $8,000 for labor on installing a new engine lol:lol: hopefully your excuse is too many cold ones.

GET HIM!! haha shit just made my day! :cheers:

There are people here ignorant enough to believe you are telling the truth.

A power steering module(I guess you are talking about the EPAS steering rack?) requires none of the BS you just posted. $1,500 tops to replace the EPAS.

Labor to replace an engine is less than a grand. I would know, I'm a dealer technician(Mercedes).

Now I see why some said "here we go again" at the start of this thread. :doh:

 

[krahooligan]

if people would stick to the topic and not throw around bogus numbers it would be ok. but if someone comes in and says its gonna cost 100k for a transmission then its gonna get silly because everybody will call his BS.
I would love to hear about someones personal experience with mods and warranties. idc if its from a mustang or previous car.
We should ask DEZL50 what happened with his car. hopefully he sees this thread.

Thats all we are asking for, real problems, real number.

I had some experience in the dealership/mod discussion.
I owned a 6.0 diesel that had to go in for repairs early in its life. I got to know the diesel tech very well.
He told me that the dealer can do any repair once, with little interference from ford moco. I believe only a catastrophic would be looked at. One repair to a differential, second time your Vin number is flagged for the same repair and the work is put on hold until the Regional Service Manager can look at the claim/vehicle.
at the time dealers were selling lifted trucks with 35 inch tires claiming they were fully warrantied by that dealer and that dealer only. One tranny, OK. Two transmissions, Regional Service Manager has to ok the repair.
I eventually sold the truck back to Ford for full price, 3 years later + civil penalty for not responding to certified letters

I'm telling you what my dealer told me. 3 workers, at $75 labor per hour, 12 hours to take the engine out, 12 hours to put the engine in, is $5,400.

Only one technician is paid to work on a car at a time. $75 x 12hr = $900.

There must be a sensor at the dealership that goes "cha-ching" when you drive up.:lol:

Well FWIW, I had a lot of warranty work on my 2011 GT. I spent more than 30 days in a rental all together in the first year of ownership. And that was just for the drivetrain. I also had an issue with the passenger seat motors, the blower fan in the HVAC, a SYNC bluetooth problem, and paint defect on my hood which required a respray twice.

It had a tune from Bama, Magnaflow catback, and an Airaid CAI. I had the clutch replaced two times, pressure plate replaced once, 4 fluid combinations, and finally the whole transmission, clutch, and pressure plate was replaced bringing the parts tally to 3 clutches, two pressure plates, and a transmission, not including the parts that came on the car.

I dealt with all of the dealer service staff from the service manager to just about every service advisor there. I had many converstaions with the Ford regional customer service representative as well as Deysha as part of Ford's online customer service. Ford sent an engineer twice to look at my car. The service manager at the dealership took the car home with him twice to spend some quality wheel time with it.

My car was obviously modified. I never paid a single dollar out of pocket for a repair - it was all covered under warranty. In fact, to make up for it, Ford offered me a free 5 year 75,000 mile premium care warranty which I accepted. Every rental was paid for either by Ford or my dealer. Treat people with respect, don't lie or make up stories, and understand that the people at the dealer didn't assemble your car and you'd be surprised at how far they will go to make sure you're taken care of and that they return a good car back to you.

So that's my real story with real experience with real modifications at a real dealer. Every single person in the service bay knew me by my first name - same goes for the Enterprise rental lot, unfortunately.

I expect a PM with your dealership name JK

My dealership (Murphy Ford) actually pointed me toward Evolution Performance when I told them I was going to have a catback installed. They said they usually send their customers there for performance upgrades
