Automatic Trans Issues
If there is so much as a forum/club sticker and axle back on a car within warranty the dealer will turn the car away because the car has been "modded and probably raced". That's these big corporate owned dealers like AutoNation for you. Customer service for domestics is terrible. They likely won't cover it out of warranty.

We'll see. I know Frank's transmission was fixed under warranty with a tune, full exhaust, intake suspension mods etc.

Where'd he take it? I have yet to find a dealer that doesn't give my shit about what's done to mine. I literally had an AutoNation service director call me and say "come pick it up before we blacklist this car. We are doing a favor by warning you."

Five Star Ford. Only mods on mine are wheels, tires, lowering springs, axle back, LCAs and brackets. Besides, don't they have to prove that your mods are the cause of the problem?

That's what everyone says, but the last few places I have taken the car to or have called have said they will not cover my car if the car is tuned. They said they will hook it up to the computer before they even begin diagnosing the problem. When I had grind issues they said they wouldn't fix it because of the short throw shifter even though MGW worked with ford on its development. Lol.

If I get that kind of push back with the minimal mods I have, I'll just trade the car after I fix.

It's dependent upon the dealer and how many flags your car waves in the dealer's face. Your car screams 'modified' just by its exhaust sound and ride height. I don't know about his car, I've never seen it. I never had any issues getting warranty work done on mine at Don Davis Ford, but the only tip-offs were a CAI and axle-backs.

Bullshit.
"Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding."
-Proverbs 17:28
OP, just take your car to a real dealer (AutoNation? c'mon) and act like the transmission is a problem that they will obviously have to address. You have no warranty-affecting modifications, so walk in there like you own the place and have them fix your car.

I am still waiting on a call back. I posted this also over on SVTP and someone from Ford responded wanting to escalate the issue. We'll see how that goes.
