Ford put 400 miles on my Raptor during warranty work

Nice to see the dashcam doing what it was designed to do; protect the owner.
The grease monkeys at my stealership have disconnected my dash cam the last two times it was in.
The first time, they were fixing a leak and claimed to have needed to work around it and then forgot to reconnect it.
The second time they had no legit excuse; oil change and tire rotation. I went ballistic on my service adviser.
It seems to me they don't want me to see what they do, (I really don't care about what goes on in the shop) but they're not even bright enough to reconnect it when done to hide their tracks.

Next time, the truck goes in with a post it on the dash "Keep your F@cking hands off my dash cam!"

I thought of putting my truck in valet mode last time at the dealer. It’s available in Sync and also on my Accessport.

Not sure if the dealer can override the Sync valet mode.

Sounds like you need a more covert dash cam install.

What a mindless ignorant and uninformed statement. It’s hard to even respond to the level of ignorance you expressed. I am well aware physicians make mistakes and I do not doubt and have even seen malpractice. If you think a lawsuit requires even a single doctor in my field willing to testify against me to move forward, you are mistaken. There is a network of paid (usually non-practicing) physicians who will testify for whoever pays them sufficiently and they do not have to be in someone’s “field”. For many, that is ALL they do. Malpractice insurance is exorbitant due to the glut of frivolous lawsuits in which only the lawyers (and their paid “experts”) make money. When people complain about the high cost of medical care, a large portion of it is directly due to malpractice for physicians, hospitals drug companies, etc. You and society are paying the price of our malpractice with the only beneficiaries being the lawyers. Lawyers do not “keep us on our toes”... the presence of that malpractice risk results in bad medical practice which has been documented over and over again. You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about yet it’s your type of uninformed ignorance which prevents any type of torte reform from occurring. Yet even the obvious type of reform where the “loser pays” is fought tooth and nail because it would decrease the number of frivolous lawsuits and lawyers themselves would have to take a risk. As it stands, there’s no risk to them...it is ALL reward no matter the outcome (unless they take the case pro-bono but I’ve yet to see that where I live). There is nothing good “for our society” under the current system. There’s actually a court bias in our state that the vast majority of malpractice cases are without merit (this comes from a district court judge for the US who is a friend) so when a case with merit comes through, it has a poorer chance to actually proceed to a trial as the system is inured to the belief that the case is likely without merit.

This is the most intelligent response in this entire thread. As long as we have the ******* plaintiff attorneys with free reign and thousands of billboards ******** up the interstate and the country in general. Plaintiff attorneys and the lawyers in the state and national legislative bodies are the problem. Just look at Louisiana to see a major screwed up state to buy insurance in for either professionals, businesses but mostly individuals trying to get affordable auto insurance. The damn governor is a plaintiff attorney! Read “The Fall of the House of Zeus” by Curtis Wilkie for the problem with our country and the ****** attotneys

It's really not any differently positioned than the one in your pictures.

Isn’t that why you have insurance? For medical malpractice lawsuits for move forward, there would have to be at least one doctor in your field willing to testify against you. If one of your colleagues is calling foul, then it’s not a frivolous lawsuit even if you ultimately prevail. Get off your high horse. Doctors **** up too just like everyone else and if it weren’t for lawyers keeping you on your toes, your profession would be full of hacks. That’s a good thing for our society.

Again, this was more of a customer service issue than a legal issue and it was clearly resolved.

You have forgotten most low life attorneys hire trial ****** ,these”medical professionals” testify for a living. There are many ethical attorneys but the low life’s can and do pay for what ever testimony they need.

OK, so now a break with a joke.

This 45 year old attorney dies and goes to heaven. He has an interview with St. Peter and he is pissed! He tells St. Pete that there must be a mistake as he died far too young. He was making money hand over fist and was having a great time. St. Peter said, you have lived a long and fruitful life and shouldn't be upset at dying at a ripe, old age. He says, btw, how old are you? 80? 90? He says, NO, 45! St. Peter says, Oh, I see my mistake. I was looking at your time slips.

I get that but not all jurors are dumb. These “medical experts” that testify are usually qualified doctors that teach medicine or have many years of experience. The defense lawyers usually call experts of their own too. It often comes down to whose expert is more believable. But yeah doctors who testify against his peers are going to be highly unpopular (hence the “trial ******” name). Snitches get...

As much as some of ya’ll hate on lawyers, I keep seeing forum people say “get a lawyer”
whenever a dealer messes up an oil change or takes too long to fix the truck. You hate lawyers until you need one; and nobody wants to be in that position.

I’ve said enough and don’t need to comment any more on the fine doctor’s expert opinion on lawyers.

I agree 100% with the part in red. I have done some home inspections for attorneys on behalf of their clients that are filing suit against their original inspector. Once it gets to that point, my experience is that the inspector missed, not just one, but several major issues. Things that would be nearly impossible to miss if you have a pulse and a working set of eyeballs.

I am thrilled with getting the hacks out of the business. People love to throw us under the bus, plumbers, electricians, real estate agents, etc. But, at the end of the day, if you are any good at your job, you will always prevail with the facts.

If you do shit work, the facts will not be on your side and you will pay a price, but it reflects on all of us, to an extent.

What do you call 3 lawyers buried up to their neck in cement?












Not enough cement.
