    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    I had considered this, but it isn't like someone can just open the hood and find the problem, and my understanding is that work by anything other than a Ford certified technician will void the warranty.

    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    So funny you should say that, as I have thought of getting magnetic lemon cut-outs to put all over the car (the car is white, so it would surely be pretty enough with all the lemons on it). 99% of my driving is on the military base, and 99% of the dealerships profits are from the military base...

    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    Hi Saleen, thanks for all of your help in this. These are the 3 things that I did initially. When I called Ford, the woman I spoke to was nothing short of rude and condescending. I told her what was going on and she said "So what would you like for me to do for you?" I said I wanted my car...

    Update on my GT It's been a whlie since I posted, and I didn't know that follow up posts were being made. I was getting email alerts but have not received any for a long time, so I just figured the subject was dead. To recap, briefly, we bought a 2009 GT early in the year and at 800 miles I...

    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    Update I called Ford Customer Service hotline. I must say. . . they suck! I told the story, and was asked "...just what is it you would like us to do? How can we resolve this matter?" After several attempts at telling her that I wanted to know my next step - that I was not happy with the...

    Easley, are you referring to the part I typed in red? That is supposed to be directly from Ford Tech Service. In fact, I have a print out of it and the URL at the bottom is http://www.vrep.fordtechservice.dealerconnection.com/vdirs/oasis/oareq.asp It won't come up for me, of course, because...

    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    People I know that I have talked about this with, all ask the same questions, "Did you get on it." I just laugh...I guess if 50 mph or 2000 rpm is "getting on it" then the answer is yes. :nono: But seriously, we've not even come close to "testing" the new GT and never intend to. Great...

    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    It is EXACTLY like that video! Thanks for posting the link. Five Oh....you kind of sound like the service "advisor." :rlaugh: I am having a hard time accepting that burning 1/2 quart of oil in 800 miles is normal. That would mean I have to drop a a quart in with every 4 gasoline fillups...

    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    Thanks Randy. My brother in law used to work for the MO Attorney General's office and worked on lemon law issues. I called him earlier today and he said that in MO they must be given a 'reasonable amount of time' to fix the problem. 4 attempts is considered reasonable. But, they are...

    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    Thank you everyone! I will update you when I pick the car up tomorrow. It is not an option for me to just leave it there. It is our only car and even though they gave me a loaner car, they pretty much made it clear that they were making an exception...and that I should have bought the...

    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    Hi, I'm new to the forums but not new to Mustangs -- I've owned classic Mustangs since I was 16 years old -- I'm 44 now. Two weeks ago my husband and I bought a 2009 Mustang GT -- Anniversary Edition, over $31,000 before rebates. We bought it new, from the local Ford dealer that we've dealt...
