    What a bunch of asshats. This shit makes my blood boil.

    Taken from the thread:

    "I would like to share my bad experience with a dealership:
    This is how a mechanic from Sawgrass Ford, Sunrise, FL. attempted to fix my car.
    I had a small knock from the top of my engine, maybe carbon build up. The mechanic, instead of treating with chemicals(protocol), decided that it would be easier to run my car in first gear for 5 miles at redline. He discusses with another mechanic in the car how he would like to either fix it or blow it up. My expensive Shelby CS1 wheels were damaged along with the transmission during the time they had my car. There was rubber down the sides of my car and 80+ miles on my car from when the camera was shut off by the shop foreman.
    I gave them 2 chances to repaint the wheels, until they had to replace them finally. They gave the car back to me with 3 new wheels and told me that they replaced 4, THEY LIED again. I spent much time trying for them to get my wheels balanced after that, and to top it off, now my transmission flare is considered normal to them, even though it was operating properly when I dropped it off, they refuse to fix it without an engine light code. My car is not shifting normally from 3rd to 4th gear now and sometimes loses the gear completely.
    After over a month of time back and forth to the dealership, I have come to the conclusion that this will never get resolved and I am too scared and untwist worthy of this dealership to keep my car out of my site again.
    I record in and out of my car at all times and my cameras are in clear site of view. The mechanics point out the camera and mention that it is possible that it is recording.
    After all the issues I had with this dealership, the mechanic still has a job at this dealership servicing cars.
    How I kept my cool, i do not know! My wheels have been replaced finally! They will not repair the transmission and I have the extended service plans.
    What a shame!"

    Ford probably has a TSB about your concern and it doesn't include an arse wipe fuking the shit out of your ride because he is a lazy bastard....

    Im guessing a lawsuit wouldn't be too shaby even against Fords expensive lawyers... seems like you have a substantial amount of evidence.. any law crazies have any thoughts??
    I really hope you get some kind of justice for this.. just terrible..

    It's not my video, rather one I found on a different forum. I just wanted to share this guys' pain. I doubt I'd be able to keep my cool if this happened to me.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Yet another reason to stay the fuck away from dealerships.

    Most Dealerships that actually gave a crap about their customers would have fired the guys and made sure they never worked in town again. In small towns if those mechanics did that they would not only be fired but the dealership would have to go into defense mode.
