[5 O UFO]

OP, sounds like you should not let that d-bag mechanic do the install of your new engine. He may not care for having his ego crushed.

Call it upgrade or mod both are the same just how you want to see it. Roush CAI doesn't look exactly the same as factory and Ford didn't build it. If it was exactly the same then why change it? I don't care you do to your car just don't complain when you get caught. We can go any car forum, every brand and any model there is someone saying MY mod or "upgrade" didn't cause my problem but they denied my warranty. This is everyday this is going on

Well check the GT350R intake and check the roush intake. I said i put that style intake in my car. Anyway I dont care to justify anything.

It is a big place. I hope he doesnt get to work on it much if any but i am a bit worried. I might take him cookies or a cold one.

Really I thought that's where exhaust come out.

I'm a tech and I'm betting I know far more how these system work than you. SO you say as long there same dia as stock no harm no foul how did you come up with this? I bet answer is I read it internet. You put this out there have anything to back this up? More I read it on internet. Tech did his job get over it. You seem to forget he works at said dealership. Also we have no idea what there work relationship is these 2 guys may have had words at one time who knows. If he wanted to be a dick as you say he could call Ford direct, take pics of CAI and send them in. Service manager gave him a break because he WORKS there. But you know full well if you drove in off the street with engine knocking you wouldn't get the same.

OKAY, if you really want to get into the details, of course the bend and turbulence needs to be identical to the factory one for the MAF to read properly. Unless he got a cheap ebay crap there is no reason for the CAI to cause issues especially a Roush one. You are just being a troll like the mechanic. Just because you are a tech does not mean you know it all. I am an engineer, hah! I mean it's a CAI, it's nothing fancy. Make the tube long enough so its sucking cold air. Make the tube diameter the same as factory so the MAF knows how much air it's sucking in. If anything is out of ordinary, the ECU will show codes right away reading the O2 sensor if the ratio is fucked up due to in proper reading from the MAF.

The situation sucks, but I've always checked oil on anything at least once every 1000 miles.

Vehicles aren't self-maintaining machines, never have been, never will be.

LOL some of guys are just plain funny. Think what you want but in the end doesn't matter what you think when it comes to warranty should or shouldn't cover Manufacturer makes the call

Well, Ford did because they knew better and not worth a lawsuit over an engine.

I've had a couple warranty repairs done by ford and I've got a lot of mods. I didn't have a tune though. That's one that I didn't want to mess with when it came to warranties. But CAI, exhaust, springs, visual mods are all fine.

My axels seals were leaking and they redid the whole rear end on warranty. I thought it might have been due to me being lowered and I didn't get UCA or LCAs so it puts extra stress on the diff. They still fixed it.

It's getting fixed only because the OP works at the dealer. Those were his words. And Ford isn't afraid of a lawsuit since they have more money than anyone here certainly has.

WHAT are you kidding only one who would have won would be Ford and Lawyers

 

[Metaflame]

I honestly think the one winning would be Ford. Roush claims the intake does not void Warranty. In this case they would have to show the problem directly arised from the intake.

It really isnt worth the defense costs, unhappy customer specially when they are promoting the Mustang this much. I think they are pretty worried about the new Camaro being out and they will lose sales.

Either way noone can justify a clynder going out to a CAI.

I am taking the exhaust and the CAI and returning to stock and giving the car back.

I am going to hope that I can use the lemon law because I am very unhappy with this situation and what kind of troubles await me in the future.

Time to get a GT or a Jeep for winter.

Doesn't matter what Roush claims and they all claim it won't hurt warranty. Only reason why it's getting fixed because you work there. Mustang has always sold good because of price but there not going to take it in the shorts for what owners do to there car. Lemon law what because engine blew up

I can't comprehend just how close-minded you are.
It's funny I just had Ford replaced a wheel due to manufacturing imperfection. No questions asked. Got me a new wheel.

 

[Metaflame]

Lemon law states they cant fix the car in 30 days, I am entitled to a refund.

"Lemon law because engine blew up?" well yea...

It isnt getting fixed because I work here, they can make problems just as it happened but the manager asked the mechanic, so it is knocking? he said yea definetly knocking on Clynder 5.

I told him the car has an intake I installed about a week ago. He said thats it? I said yea, He said we are good than.

And I am supposed to buy this car and engine goes out and I am supposed to accept it?

This is my main transportation. I cant use it and they cannot give me a loaner in 30 days I am sending my Lemon letter to Ford.

I wish you were in this situation and could see how dumb you sound more posts you send bro, no offense. People get Lemons all the time and an engine failure is "common" to you?

With your mentality, not using ford oil, not using their intake filter etc is going to void the warranty?

In the end, people update their cars because manufacturer take shortcuts and save on cost. Just look at the fucking intercoolers on the EB.

Who buys a mustang and no mods unless you are a middle life crisis buyer.

They do put shitty parts all around this car, panels, windows are all nonaligned. So yes I do think the company that took my money should take care of me.

See how long Ford's sports car sales last if their attitude is to take things to court. Specially when the problem I am having with the car is the lowest line.

Do you think a GT350R potential buyer reading engine failure on a V6 and having to go to court will go through with that sale.

They have money because consumer keeps them where they are. If they want to grow and not bottom out again than customer satisfaction should be the main focus.

With your logic under any problem they can say customer abuse. From engine failures to interior parts breaking and take it to court since they have the money of the world.
