Problem after getting towed

[Furilic]

I feel like the biggest dumbass right now. Long story short, me and a couple of buddies in 5.0s got towed last night and when I turn my car On I get an error that hill I assist start is not available and my toggle switches won't allow me to alter the traction or change driving modes. I have no idea what to do but could have the towing company damaged my vehicle?

Listen...In the future after you get the Mustang fixed. Never allow your car to be TOWED. Always tell the roadside assitence company to send a car carrior or don't send one at all.

It wasn't towed on my permission parked at a close friends apartment complex and the owner didn't like looking at 3 GTs getting free overnight parking so he decided he call the towing company at 4 in the morning. My ebrake was engaged and the car was in gear. I'm going to either bring her to ford when I get back home or hopefully this goes away after a little bit of driving. Weird thing is the other two cars are fine, one was a 11 Gt and the other a 13.

That fvcking sucks. Tow companies know they can screw a car up that way. Theey just want the cash.

And the DB lot owner. At 4am you werent taking any revenue away.

Good news is my car somehow "fixed" itself and I can once again use my toggles without an service errors. Bad news is I am still pissed that not even three weeks into ownership my car was towed and $200 that could have been spent on mods was wasted away.

Look where you parked. Probably a sign that states no overnight parking. My son's '95 GT was towed the same way. When I showed up to give him a ride to the towing lot, I pointed the signs out to him. Funny how these signs mean business!

Glad to hear all is working again, but still get it checked out by Ford.
And be pissed at yourself. Ownership of fault is the best prevention! (that is as long as towing enforcement signs were posted) I work on a college campus, I see this all the time! And the students that never pay their parking tickets and watching their cars getting hauled off to the tow lots.
