I hope you get everything worked out usafjames. Its sad whent his happens. My dad got his new 22 superduty and it lost a motor after a year and 27k miles 2 days before they were to come back to Michigan after a month outwest. Its been a disaster to say the least. Ended up escalated all the way to Bill Fords office to get it all figured out, but thats just because we knew someone.
I have a hard and fast rule on performance vehicles like this I'll only buy new or from a private owner. Its the only way to try to mitigate these types of risks sadly.
