I just suffered the dreaded water pump failure on my SVT. Because Ford knows about this problem which is caused by inferior OEM parts, I'm going after Ford Motor Company for the repairs. I need anyone who has had this problem to email me at douglas.e.myers@jci.com with the details of your experience.
I may not prevail, but my track record is pretty darn good at suing people in small claims for this type of ripoff. Ford knows it has a problem (the dealer admitted it) but they hope to stonewall their way out of it.
Help me build a case and I will keep you informed as to my progress and the outcome, as well as the methodology for suing in Small Claims Court.
I might point out that this is a very powerful weapon because the Complaintant (that's me) can subpoena Ford Executive Officers who either have to settle to avoid the suit or appear in court to testify and avoid contempt. They don't like to while away their time in some podunk courtroom so they often settle and write the money off as a business expense. Either way I win because I either get some dollars to offset the repair expense, or I get to inconvenience them as a thank you for their having inconvenienced all of us with crappy water pumps.
Thanks in advance.
