I guess with the holiday weekend approaching and many people on vacation the process might be delayed a bit and best of luck in getting rid of this curse for good .BTW any cliffs nearby,heck that might not even work out.
Funny enough I saw the Director of the service department at the offending dealership on my way to work this morning; We locked eyes at a light. Him in a 2005 ford five hundred; me in my beater gen 3 taurus(forced to drive this w/ no rental) I don't want to come out on the bottom of this via insurance or fraud; the history of what has happened here is obviously sabotage
Major events
1. 10x me coming in to try to get the clicking hub tsb, pissed off the suspension tech chad
2. Car was wrecked before final attempt at tsb repair(raccoon damage)
3. Car fixed, Returned again due to faulty injectors causing misfire; Dashcam video: Chad came up to Engine tech and said : "this must be your buddys car?!?" Gary: "My buddy??, Oh you mean that fat little ***er?" Both laugh.. Chad: "Didn't he wreck this thing?" Gary: "Not surprised considering the way I think he drives it"
4. Had audio of dashcam video blared on the radio after being ignored by ford and dealership; carlos lira the GM at the time called me 2 hours later and wanted to speak with me, had the director of service bill posey give me an extended warranty on the car
5. Started to have issues where AWD was acting up and would freak out in reverse(went to another dealer, they wanted to blame my new tires and cited they were bald) I called corporate and they suggested to go back to GY, GY gave a deal on tires(got screwed later with no rebate) and an alignment, problem went away and came back.
6. Transmission failed 1,500 miles and 3 weeks later (whining, failed shifts, no shift indicator) took GY 1 month to get it on a lift and tear down; another month to repair it and another month to do bodywork after destroying it from a loose wheel that somehow only came loose after the test drive(Wonder if this was for me? and not one of their pesky porters)
7. Rained excessively in FL, neighborhood flooded but not above doors. Water made it into driver rear floorpan. I investigated and discovered the access panel for the fuel sender was pushed under the car and left for a long time(Fume Hazard, Obviously done by the guy replacing injectors who thought I was a Fat ****Er). I still have yet to get the smell out of the sound deadening of mildew.
8. Noticed fresh trans fluid on PTU and near trans during an oil change a month later, took it into mullinax; they cited it was leftover from the repairs.
9. Another month later returned to mullinax after noticing an exhaust leak and also asked about clicking noises near driverside axle which were not found(PTU noise?)
10. Add'l month goes by and as I get into traffic I get passed halfway on throttle, 1st gear downshift then explosion resulting in tons of fluids being dumped from trans, ptu and rdu(idk why) Cited as a bad repair from GY bolt got loose nuking drivetrain and involving engine block and that warranty would not cover this..

The dealer should be footing the bill, and for having the work performed elsewhere (location of your choice). Plain & simple.
They can fix it all they want; even if repaired I don't trust the original work on this car; I feel like this car is ruined and wont EVER drive the same from the original accident let alone this one.. I'm going for a replacement.
