Right, and legally that is fine since they excluded track use. This started in 2020 for GT350. It’s also a/the reason I won’t buy a newer R or GT500. I wish Ford got more bad press for this term. But, my 2017R does NOT exclude track use, just “racing” and if track use was “racing” why would...

If the esp wanted to have a clause that taking the gt350 to a track voided warranty, then then needed to have a clause “use of your vehicle at a track voids coverage.” They didn’t do this and used the term racing instead. I don’t care how similar stresses on the car are for de vs open wheel...

Anyone on tick tock making videos? Get a viral video going on this issue.

I mentioned above I voted with my wallet. ~$170k msrp for a z06 all carbon high spec z07 pack is going to Chevy, not Ford. I’m far from a competitive “racing driver” , but I’ve generally been fastest or second fastest (despite never seeming to “win first” unfortunately) at my HPDE unless there...

Anyone have emails and phone numbers to Road and Track publisher/journalists? Let’s start community spamming all the automobile mags and YouTube auto reviewers/influencers to review this thread and Ford’s literal position that “you cannot take your GT350 to a track or all your warranties are...

I’m honestly concerned that if my 8yr old is in the back seat in my Shelby “racing through his homework,” did I just void my warranty?

Dictionary says “heart is racing” means heart is going “real fast”, so therefore going real fast in a gt350 must be “racing.” Even it’s impossible to win, place, or exceed a marked time by officials, which is what every sane individual knows are all requirements to be considered motorsports...

Yep. I’m out on new Fords. Not selling my R or Raptor (yet), but certainly not buying any new Ford products across the board. When they changed the language in 2020 warranty coverage, I put a deposit on a Z06 and skipped the GT500. Very happy with that decision. Chevy stands behind their track...

I’m speechless. The arbitrator is either influenced or a straight up idiot. It’s fraud to sell illusionary warranty/insurance coverage — ie where one party has zero obligation to perform his duties under the contract at his own volition . By not being able to track a track designed and marketed...

Ya, there is generally standardized language like if you commit fraud (proven/arbitrated not just accused), rescind payment or miss future obligated payments ect that allow an offerer of coverage to terminate, but they cannot do it without cause (which is defined or if not limited to...

I’d be curious to see where your policy says THEY can drop you at any time?Doesn’t generally work that way, be it insurance, rent, extended warranties, ect. That would be a contract of adhesion term that would create illusionary coverage (ie, we’ll cover you so long as you don’t have any claims...

No, they cannot drop him unless he agrees. It’s a contract, you can’t just void a contract bc you ended up not liking the person that you entered in with and there is no other contractual language (at least in mine) that gives them a right to terminate that applies here. Now, the contract does...

Good summary. While it is not binding or precedent, having a win in a (mandatory arbitration setting) that Ford pushed onto you as a consumer is as close as precedent as it comes. Essentially a judge will act like an appellate court and only rule against you if there was a clear error made by...

Interesting. I’ve done 70 or so events in MI, OH, and PN with most clubs that do events here and only one of them has a single run group that doesn’t do pass by points as required (still optional and most do them). I don’t like it, as a recreational driver without insurance on track, bc I never...

Don’t remember if I updated this… they replaced the wires and didn’t fix. Replaced the alternator and Issued fixed, under esp warranty.

What’s parade laps have to do with it? Generally, I’m not making a position on what’s “stressful” or similar stress levels if this is what you are getting at? That’s irrelevant because the contract doesn’t says “flooring your car and full break pressure voids your warranty.” People taking this...

Fun. and education, if you want it. Pretty similar to a brisk canyon drive past the speed limit. Nobody is saying that’s a breach of warranty for “racing” even if you do it with a group of friends.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on that. If the ESP meant for tracking to void coverage, why did they not say “tracking or taking your car on a race track or to a driver education event at a race track?” They used the word “Racing” which is not synonymous with “tracking” in the legal...

No the adjuster didn’t. Evidence was that he took the car to a track and/or participated in a DE event of some sort. There is zero evidence that the car was entered into a race. stick to the words of the contract or you’ll be voiding warranties now for frequent oil changes. fully agree...

So driving a gt350 “swiftly” voids the warranty now? Come on. In the context of motorsports, the term “racing” 100% implies a winner and timing by officials. Kinda hard to win first place at a DE event. Find me ONE SINGLE DE event that claims it’s a race or that participants are “racing.”
