looks like this was finally taken care of .. what a nightmare of a process.. :|

Yeah - I have a BMW M2 now.

:lol::headbonk: I just got the initial letter that they were supposed to send me a couple of months ago, just an initial bit of paperwork saying I am agreeing to a refund. This was supposed to preface a lot of the other things we've done, but for whatever reason, they couldn't figure out how to...

omg .. how awful man. :[

I haven't put a lot of effort into seeing if others have been having problems.. but yeah, I guess with any first run of new design things, there is some potential for trouble. I knew that going in, but I just never imagined I'd get one that totally failed. I've had a lot of cars and just never...

It varies by lemon law for your state. For mine , they do pay sales tax and interest, minus a mileage use charge. I was 2400ish miles and was charged 900ish for it. Where I really lost out is my next car didn't have a trade in benefit, costing me thousands more in taxes than I'd have to pay...

Yes. Agreed. Mistakes happen, cars come out with flaws. No problem there, I was unlucky. This was my second brand new mustang purchase however and likely my last Ford purchase in general, just due to how this was handled. If they would have made an effort to treat me well and make it right early...

it's a buy back, but it's essentially the lemon law process and guided by the same law per state. they just invoked it through their own processs. it's just embarrassing to think about the amount of screw ups I've encountered along the way, the number of phone calls required to get someone on...

Tip of the ice berg man. They've dropped the ball so many times. I'm embarrassed to even go into detail..

To put it bluntly I've made 3 car payments on a car sitting on the dealerships lift, and last time I saw it (a few weeks ago, collecting my things from it..) it was still in a million pieces, no engine in site.

I'm working with them directly, but they are using state lemon laws as guiding principals for how to process everything.

hey gents. Ford is still working on a buyback process for the car. they've been dragging their feet and taking way longer than they should and dropping the ball left and right for various reasons, but that's the expected outcome.

yeah - your build is still early, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't as early as mine - I'd hope that would give them time to iron out any issues. I hope you do not run into the same issue, it's unlikely, but I would not personally have the confidence to supercharge it unless you went the...

still don't know. they're still investigating the extent of the damage to determine what ford would approve.

well.. thanks for that, I'm glad the thread and information were helpful. not to scare you, but my engine failed me at 2400 miles or so. snapped a valve while idling, broke apart in between the piston and head.. it's currently still being diagnosed some how 2 weeks in. hasn't been what I had in...

time will tell, I'm not sure what my options will be. I sorta just got an email saying "hey, quick update before the weekend, your engine is f'ed, k bye". I imagine it'll get figured out next week. there are a list of scenarios I have imagined and a rebuilt engine is NOT one of the acceptable ones.

a base f150 with no options haha : P it'll get me around at least.

epic ford. I bought from kirkland, but epic is closer to me.

I'd be happy with that to speed it along ..

lol, I am sure! I knew it was a risk, too, though. early production car, new engine configuration ... rollin the dice
