My Bad On The Run-On

Hey guys I'm knew to this site and I registered just to reply to this thread. March 29, 2012 I traded in my 2010 V6 Chevy Camaro for a 2012 Ford Mustang GTCS Black on Black. Beautiful car! Had it for a little over a week when I was driving at about 50mph on 3rd and shifted to 4th and the CEL was blinking for 30 Seconds and shut off and the car started to shake and my shifter started to rattle.

I took it into the dealership the very next day and they tried to pull a code and told me that no codes pulled up and the car is driving perfect. 2 days later it happened again and I took it back to the dealership and they checked it and told me the same thing. The next day it happened again and this time I was ready for it and I pulled out my phone and started to record it.

Took it back to the dealer, showed him the video and he reacted as like he's never seen that happen before and told me to leave the car there and that they would need to run some tests and it might take awhile. 3 days go by and they finally called me and said that after driving it and driving it they finally got the car to act up but they don't know why it's acting that way. I called Fords Consumer Services and told them my situation and they sent the regional FSE to check out the problem for himself.

Well guess what? He doesn't know either!! My ford service adviser told me that the FSE ran the diagnostics on my car and compared to a 2013 model and the 2013 model started to act up as well. He also told me he thinks that it is a software problem and that my I won't get my car back until they fix the software!! I'm pist! I don't know what I should do. I'm thinking about getting a lemon law lawyer? Does anyone have any advise on what I should do?

If you're too lazy to take a bottle of mixed degreaser, a rag and a little elbow grease into cleaning your engine bay then just stay inside. Because you can cause a lot more serious issues than a sore arm and a few hours will cost you if you keep playing games with spraying water on your electronic harnesses, coils and spark plug wells(heres a hint: you can't "cover" them enough to protect them).

Don't be a d1{k. I understand where your coming from but no reason to be one. It just makes you look like a ***.
