Update: Left the car at the dealership last Wednesday evening so they could start on it first thing Thursday morning. I called today to see if it may be ready today but they said the part will not be in until tomorrow, they are replacing the Megatron. The car will have been in the shop for a total of 12 days out of the 54 days that I have owned it, so 22% of the time I have owned the car it has been in the shop, this is getting a little ridiculous. I have contacted FMC and so far all they are offering is an appoligy. I told them I am not paying a note on a Mustang GT to drive a rental car, they said they willl have a specialist contact me within two days. We will see how this goes, but if it goes in the shop two more times for the same problem or spends 18 more days in the shop for anything within a year from delivery it is considered a Lemon here in Louisiana. I'm hoping this is not the case because I love my car when it is actually working.

Don't let the decepticons find out they're replacing the Megatron... That's as bad as IronMan 2 replacing Rhodie!

Which, come to think of it... was a GOOD thing.

keep us updated

Yeah, when they told me that all I could think about was that the Camaro had Bumble Bee, so I guess that had to put a transformer part in the Mustang. I hope my car doesn't get up an walk away or something after they replace the Megatron.

Ok hopefully this will be my last post about this issue. Got the car back yesterday and it has worked so far. I spoke with a Ford customer service manager and told her that I was not paying a note on my Mustang to drive a rental. She told me to send a copy on my car note and they would compensate me for the time the car has been in the shop. I am happy with the way they handled it so I am not as mad about the situation now. Hopefully this last fix has got it working correctly.

Good job on not taking any s**t, hopefully your stang is good to go. I know the feeling you've had. My LX was acting stoopid for 2 weeks and I was replacing parts one after the other, in the end it was something small. It got to the point though that I did not enjoy my stang. So keep up the good fight and post pics of your ride and this part "Megatron" if you can.

whats a note? are you leasing it? or you have a promissary note and not a loan agreement? (if you are making regular payments that is a loan agreement, not a promissary note, important not to confuse the two)

If you bought it i'd say you own the car its yours, you are paying your loan you took out to purchase the car and isn't our problem, if I were the manger. If you had paid cash for it do you think I should pay you for it being in the shop? no, that never happens. But if you got them to then I guess thats cool... what if you did like a 2 year loan and your payments were 1,200 per month? it's in the shop for a month so you think they should pay it? I dunno.. just seems weird to me... unless you are leasing it then it makes sense.


Glad they fixed your problem though.

Sorry I was not specific enough, it is a LOAN AGREEMENT but I'm sure everyone else knew what I was talking about. And I dont know why you think this is not a problem just because I am paying a LOAN AGREEMENT. And since we are getting technical about it I don't own the car, US Bank owns the car. And if the car is in the shop for "a month or so you think they should pay for it?" YES and I will tell you why, Louisiana Lemon Law states four times in the shop for the same repair or 30 days within the first year is considered a Lemon. And if this is the case FMC would have to replace the vehicle with a new one or give a 100% refund. If you were having problems with your new car you would not be happy either. And we are not sure if the problem is fixed yet they said we will just have to see over the next few weeks.

it just irritates me when people use the wrong terminology for things, It makes me question their intelligence.
