Thats still an illegal requirement on their part. They have to PROVE that someone else damaged it, not guess based on a missing record 5 years ago.

“Of course the National Alliance Of Buy Here Pay Here Dealerships is a thing...”

If it's a manual box with a auto ECU that's what you want. You can't reflash anyways so leave the auto ECU and move on. Now if it's a Manual ECU in a auto car, that won't work. I am strictly speaking from a S Chassis power plant point of view, this might not work on other cars or other brands but it's legit here if…

If it’s a auto ECU on a manual car leave it. That is the combo you want a no ned to swap.

It also applies to maintenance. They cannot void your warranty because someone else worked on the car. The burden of proof is on the manufacturer, not the owner to prove who fucked it up. They can't void your warranty because you got a oil change 5 years ago at a different mechanic.

Yes but your original claim said anyone other than FCA dealers. You didn’t specify that they were the ones that damaged it. It is illegal to void a warranty just because someone else worked on it. They would need to prove the other place did it. Burdan of proof is on the manufacturer not the owner The reason they get…

She had to look up the word safety really fast while on the call.

That is still illegal. They cannot require you get your maintinence done at their dealers. If you push the issue and know the law they will yeild.

I see dealers with “Vin on request” for the too good to be true cars yet everything else has one listed. That makes me think you are right, they keep something listed that doesn't actually exist just to get you in the door.

Vastly different sports, body checks are part of the game in Hockey, grabbing someones brake lever is not in Racing. 

That is for fuel economy standards, they are passenger cars otherwise. Either way you are wrong the Mustang is a passenger car through and through.

It still doesn’t change what they are. That is like saying a mini van is not a passenger car. 

Those cars were still plenty popular regardless of their share of the market.

9 years on a platform is becoming the norm for a lot of companies though. They are even returning to RWD next year. 

Oh shit, JTSnooks whipping out the facts to destroy arguments.

Ford doesn’t really seem to care, they are already saying that is what they want to do. 

I guess if you just ignore the Mustang, the Fusion, the Focus you are correct, no popular passenger cars in 30 years. 

Your business does matter, you are just supposed to be a good american and buy that FUCKING CUV ALREADY!!! Its guys like you that drive companies like Ford to bankruptcy.

Sarcasm if you have not caught on, I fully agree with you here. I bought what was going to be my first Ford a few years ago, but its likely also my…

13.2 is 13.2 man.

It either can be done or the tracks timing was off. The great bit about turbos, especially that one, is you can load the engine up past the lag and its basically a non issue even when shifting.
