Don't know where you are at but the Mag. Moss Act. does state that the modification has to cause said failure. That means if FOMOCO states failure was caused by said modification it is up to the customer to prove it did NOT in fact cause the failure. The preponderance of evidence is on the customer not FOMOCO. That can be a lengthy process and incur timely litigation.

Yes, but, FOMOCO has to prove the part caused the problem. If they provide such evidence, it then falls on the owner to prove it did not. Like lawdog said, uphill battle, but some people like to fight lol.

Here’s why it’s a big pill... Ford dishonors warranty, you complain to corporate, and corporate takes a look and sides with the dealer. Then you have to sue Ford and the dealer under the Magnuson-Moss Act and after $10,000+ in legal fees, you find out whether you were right or wrong.

Not sure about this instance but many times in situations like this not only are you on the hook for the L & your attorneys fees...but in the case you lose can also be on the hook for the defendants legal costs....

Does this fall under forscan? There are some cool things to do in there that shouldnt mess with warranty, but if they go in and see you messed with settings can they screw you?
