Sorry not the best thread out there.......
Heres what AM Chris Ross had to say
The problems, while serious, are so far and few that it's not a reason to panic. It's good for everyone to be aware of the risks, but that's it. We've tuned thousands of 2011 Mustangs here at Bama, and we've only heard of a two cases, where luckily the warranty claim was accepted, both times. I've seen maybe 5 or 6 others from a few different companies. That's a small amount for the huge amount of Mustangs running custom tunes.
The buzz comes from every forum having 5 or 6 threads about the same thing. It looks like there's a lot more problems than their really is.
Use good quality fuel at all times, and we've got you covered from there. All Bama tunes being distributed have taken every safety precaution possible from within the tune. Knock sensors are fully functional and the tunes are commanding a safe air/fuel ratio. There are an overwhelming amount of positive threads and dyno results out there - check those out!
So I wouldnt worry too much about it.

Sorry, just jealous I guess, LOL
I'm actually suprised you havnt heard about this with all the posting and researching that you seem to do. But ya, a bunch of the first tunes that bama and some others came out with were blowing the #8 cylander for some reason or other, sounds like at least bama has it figured.

Hmm, sorry I brought it up, I'd hate too see you sell the grabber. I wouldnt worry about it too much though. Like that AM guy said, 6 or seven cars out of thousands that they have tuned is well under 1%. I'm scared to even tune my 4.6, cause I really dont know how my dealer is as far as tunes/ aftermarket stuff go.

Holy crap.....I'm more surprised than you that I haven't heard about this, because I did a ton of research on the Coyote engine before buying mine. I hate to say it but it's stuff like this that makes people switch to other brands. I am VERY pissed to say the VERY least. Next post might just be in the For Sale section
