I guess we all should be more well informed of the lemon law,the procedure and the road to take in case a lemon goes sour.     https://www.carlemon.com/lemons.html

After 18 days they finally got to doing a teardown of my transmission.  Since everything is out I asked the advisor to do a ptu fluid change ( waiting on response of that ). Still waiting to hear on whats being done about the trans, service advisor said fluid was burned beyond recognition and torque converter is completely cooked.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Apparently the transmission tech on my advisors team got sick and had some catching up to do. Then I think they had to do some research on the sho??  Idk or maybe fomoco got involved.   Fords probably getting anxious with the rental car bill about now.

So the dealer has had my car since june 14th. I got a text today that it was almost finished. 5 hours later a friend who works in detail at a neighbor dealer said he saw them test driving it. I texted my service advisor and her reply was if another person at the same dealer had informed me the bad.. ( think they wanted to hide this from me) the driver side wheel had not been torqued and destroyed the fender. Pushed fender into a pillar. Damaged bumper. Etc..
lovely.. The service director Is not happy about it considering my stance on past issues. They agreed to repair the car and existing bumper damage(drivers error); but im not sure if its good enough here with the past isues. Maybe its time to get the state attorneys office involved

I'd be shooting through the roof if they did that to my car. I'd want them to pay me to get it fixed at a body shop of my choice. That's bs

Sorry to say, but the dealer has had a bad history with your SHO, and you REALLY need to find another shop.  Bit by bit they are destroying your ride.

This saga makes me sick!

I would agree that another dealer is in order.  I'd be trying to recover damages for the accident also. A wreck  cost money far beyond the body shop bill. I do think that Ford built a lemon... All manufacturers do from time to time... But add the damage and loss of use and... I'd be getting Ford involved and demanding that new SHO. They have all combined to deprive you of the true SHO experience on top of all the rest of the events!

I wouldn't let that dealers body shop touch your car. They'd do a nickel dime job. I'd be going after the dealer for a new car. Anything else is unacceptable.

I want the car replaced. Its a lemon and I had friends who sat in this car on the showroom floor months before I got it. And I had borrowed it at 180miles and bought it with 270ish on the clock. God knows what had been done to it before I got it.

Update, Regional Manager is now investigating the dealership, Car hasn't moved at the bodyshop, people at the bodyshop and dealer are afraid to talk to me. I yanked everything I had left in the car(i.e. hdd from sync) short of my LED conversion and hardwire kits for my camera and detector..

If anybody is curious on what the damage looked like, notice the a-pillars reflection on the top left is warped sort of..





Fender slammed under the a-pillar


Caliper and rotor scarred, If the do desire to give me the car back, all the brakes need to be done and the hubs/suspension replaced(I don't want weird wear later on)




I sent the lemon law notice yesterday certified mail per fl law and also sent an email to the Attorney General.

I miss my SHO, blowing the doors off people with the rental f150 isn't doing it for me as much XD.
