"Dealership drove my car into a pond" readings from the great Mustang Forums.
QUOTE
"well today I went to pick up my car from ford because I'm having warranty stuff fixed like a bad clutch. Parts won't be in until Monday. So the service manager goes to get my car for me. 10 minutes of waiting he comes and gets me and tells me he has bad news about my car. I figured that maybe it wouldn't start or something. Turns out he remote started it with it in gear and no e brake up. The car took off, straight thru an empty parking spot jumped a curb and went underneath the metal fence and into a retention pond. By the time I got there all I could see were some bubbles of what used to be my car. The cops are using there scuba team to hook it up and tow it out of the pond now. All I know is Ford better give me a new Mustang, and not try to blame it on me and make my insurance pay for it. It sounded like the manager was trying to put the blame on me. He hit the remote start button twice to start it. Seriously who leaves a manual in gear with no e brake. Any advice. "

if they dont replace EVERYTHING ..... Sue...you will win. regardless of wether or not your car is stock, remote start or whatever, its THEIR fault (i.e managers) and they have to replace it. besides they would much rather just spend 40k getting you a new car with all its goodies than to go to court and spedn who knows in lawyer fees and risk having a judge rule in your favor for 200k...call corporate first before filing suite.
