    ...no, Bob Bell in beautiful and really toothless Glen Burnie, aka "Glen Burnouit"..
  2. 2017 Shelby Gt350 "Service Powertrain Immediately" warning

    ..okay, finally have all pertinent documentation collected, so here it is:
  3. 2017 Shelby Gt350 "Service Powertrain Immediately" warning

    It appears there's a vast difference, dealer-to-dealer, with correct and timely diagnosis; this may in part due to the 'flat-rate' system. I have approximate 1500 vehicles I deal with on a rotating basis..from E1 Fire ladder-trucks to all the Police pursuit vehicles in the county. Flat rate...
  4. 2017 Shelby Gt350 "Service Powertrain Immediately" warning

    ...The Cobra did indeed have 'two-fours', and it was the most fun a grown man can have without a midget, ten feet of wire, and electricity. According to what I've read it was conservatively rated at 480 horsepower, but the sixties car were notoriously underrated for insurance purposes, so best...
  5. 2017 Shelby Gt350 "Service Powertrain Immediately" warning

    ....good, glad they stepped up and were able to find the problem quickly. Having an expensive vehicle out-of-service is maddening, depressing, and disappointing. Ford needs to take a closer look at the assembly process and rectify the problem before the public is faced with it. Good luck to you..w.
  6. 2017 Shelby Gt350 "Service Powertrain Immediately" warning

    Your situation went much deeper than mine, and it pleases the sh*t outta me that you stuck to your guns and 'made-it-happen'. I'm not soured on the car, just the dain-brammaged corporate stooges. When I receive the check from Ford I'll sell the '17, and with the money I have tucked away, I'll...
  7. 2017 Shelby Gt350 "Service Powertrain Immediately" warning

    I think they paid only because I had written, as in email, correspondence between me and the service department. When you have it in writing they can't lie their way out of it. Never, ever, talk to them either in person or by phone..email only. They also knew I had access to Ford's database and...
  8. 2017 Shelby Gt350 "Service Powertrain Immediately" warning

    We've arrived at the point where we cannot trust either Ford Corporate or their dependent dealers; I refused to give them my phone number, knowing the lies I would probably be told; Email only: that way you have written proof of what's being done. I humbly suggest everyone follow suit..best to...
  9. 2017 Shelby Gt350 "Service Powertrain Immediately" warning

    We've arrived at a point where we cannot trust the dealer, a bad thing. But they've done it to themselves. I wish I could recommend the local Ford outlet, but after this..not-a-chance.
  10. 2017 Shelby Gt350 "Service Powertrain Immediately" warning

    Jeeze,whatta cluster; hopefully the Corporate suits finally have a lock on this. The next time this occurs, and there will be a next time, perhaps these collective experiences will put the owner back in the driver's seat within a reasonable time. Perhaps..
  11. 2017 Shelby Gt350 "Service Powertrain Immediately" warning

    ...it damned near did; I was headed North on Rt95 out of Gaithersburg, Maryland and attempted to activate the cruise-control. Then everything went sideways: big orange open-end-wrench light warning me to 'SERVICE POWERTRAIN IMMEDIATELY. Sure, in the middle of a major highway. Then it defaulted...
  12. 2017 Shelby Gt350 "Service Powertrain Immediately" warning

    I know the feeling; I worked for Ford, way back in the seventies, and it appears the 'service' end of their business has been reduced to a joke. Under warranty there is no other recourse unfortunately. Due to where I work I pulled the actual dealer-submitted paperwork by VIN number, and it's...
  13. 2017 Shelby Gt350 "Service Powertrain Immediately" warning

    ...yes, otherwise the car has exceeded my expectations. I had an original '66 Cobra, 427 with two-fours, once..way back when they were relatively 'affordable'. It was a terror; the only automobile I've ever owned that would break traction, with both carbs opened, at a hundred miles an hour on...
  14. 2017 Shelby Gt350 "Service Powertrain Immediately" warning

    Greetings all, Just an update; June 5th of 2018 my local 'dealer' attempted to repair a warranty cruise-control failure in my '17 Gt350. (The had car defaulted to limp-mode and the orange warning lamp illuminated.) After replacing the switch, then a complete throttle-body, the EEC unit, the...
