Remember the picture of one in Asia being sledge hammered to bits, because the dealer couldn't fix an issue multiple times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a gt break a tailshaft the other day and they sent a SOC out for that one.the ecu out of my Super pursuit was pulled out and sent to ford to be checked for a warranty claim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
