Today is the first day of the scheduled two week trial regarding the overheating base/tech transmission. From what I have read so far it appears the judge is siding with the owners .

I'll be honest. I bought the GT350 tech used and expected to lightly if any track the car. I didn't realize it couldn't finish a 30 minute track session though. I understood after the facts that without cooling that it wouldn't be possible which was fine. Then I read that Arizona or Texas folks were getting stuck in limp mode in regular traffic, well... ford... you blew it there. I hope they do make it right.

FORD knows what they did though because they hid the Transmission Oil Cooler temp away from base and tech drivers when the sensor was there. If they can't see those figures they won't complain, we'll... you could have gotten away with it had the car not limped in regular traffic.

I suggest all tech owners to enable their tran oil temp so they can see it in their gauges and monitor it as needed.

Ford stock is under so much pressure and CEO is cutting. FP is going away, see's no value with racing.

02/04/19: Case Update
After the resounding defeat of Ford’s motion to dismiss, the 2016 Shelby GT350 class action lawsuit is actively moving through the discovery phase. Counsel for Plaintiffs are currently reviewing tens of thousands of Ford documents and are preparing to take depositions of key Ford employees. Plaintiffs will move for class certification in the next few months and a trial is currently scheduled for late 2019.

Have you confirmed that the trial has started? I have been trying to contact the law firm about this and they have not replied.

The trial has not started yet... At least not in the case that is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. I just pulled up the case docket in PACER. The case went to mediation in October but did not settle at mediation. The trial was continued in December on the joint motion of the parties. A jury trial is currently set for 10/28/2019.

I read that the the two week trial was to begin on February 4 2019 right on Hagens Berman website. I see that never happened?? Just an update there now with that date on it.I noticed it around the end of January so not sure if it was a mistake or I misunderstood. Sorry bout that.

Welcome to America - where you can fail to do adequate research on a $60k purchase and then sue for it.

Don’t pay me any attention - it just hits a nerve with me ....having probably less to do with cars, specifically and mostly to do with the devolving sense of personal responsibility in the world. Call me hyper-sensitive but I’ll still have a drink with tech pack owners :)
