Here it is. Not my best work, but I'm tired. Also, trying to do this on Windows Movie Maker is a bitch.

They have to be one of the worst service departments in the country. I was a medic for Bryan County EMS and we had several Ford chassis ambulances. They were under warranty so we had to take them to get serviced there. We had several issues with that place. Had had taken one in for a noise it was making we thought it might be a tranny or motor issue. Well a female medic went and picked it up and they told her it was a rock caught between the front left simulator. Well the boss said lets just drive it and see if it continues to get worse. That night we are transporting an active MI patient to Presby Dallas and running code down there. Well it starts making the same noise and then the tranny grenades. So we are on hwy 75 with an active heart attack patient and dead in the water. We had it towed to Red River Ford and the rebuilt the tranny 5 times and every one of them failed. We finally took it to an independent shop and just paid the to fix it right. I wouldn't buy a friggin spark plug there.

That is horrible...but not surprising.
When he went in to cancel the extended warranty for a refund, they asked why. Once they found out he was trading the vehicle one of the guys there called the owner of the truck he was trading for a told him to stay away from the Mustang because it was a lemon.
The guy is an acquaintance of my brother and plans to make a race car with it, so he told the guy he knows about the trans issue and he should mind his own ******* business, quit ripping people off, and hung up on him.

I'm not an attorney obviously but he meant to do him harm and there has to be some sort of law against the dealer or a rep from that dealer slandering people.

The guy who traded for the car will be dealing with them now that they called to claim that, but he isn't too worried about it.
He plans to make it a race monster. Already ordered off road x/headers, looking into heads/cams by next week, and a nice big shot of nitrous.

Almost all of them. They've been in the low 10's already with no problems. This is the first I've heard of this problem, I've only seen the clutch spring problem and the mystery engine tick. I will agree they do have terrible *** customer service and a quick google search will tell you to people who have experienced this quite often with the new mustangs so far. The Getrag is a german designed trans, just made in china but then again what the hell isn't now a days. FWIW it sounds like your brother just bought from the wrong place and is paying for it.
does't make sense cant remember which magazine it was in, but one of there test 5.0 mustangs broke on the second pass.

I actually live in Durant and havent had any problems with the ford dealer there (Parents and I have bought new vehicles). Also ive seen that GT/CS of your brothers and im sorry to say but he drives the hell out of it everywhere and from the sounds of it (literally hear him drive) doesnt know how to shift. Justified IMO

Maybe they voided the warranty because with less than 5k miles he brings it in to be serviced and have his bald tires replaced (which they replaced), then he shows up again not too long after that with bald tires again wanting them replaced, and then they find the videos that HE posted of him drag racing it and generally ragging the **** out of it.
