Ford Dealer Sinks A Mustang In A Pond

dealer shouldn't take responsibility..

-customer
why did he put it into reservation mode, so he can remote start car??
if he didn't do sequence to put it into reservation mode, remote start disables..

-installer
he must have bypassed clutch wire by shorting 2 wires together(this is ghetto way of doing it) and didn't change programming to manual car, so car starts without pushing clutch even customer is using key to starts..

the dealer, which commented on the original link, claims that the owner of the mustang is the guy who installed the remote starter.

now, personally, I'm in agreeance in WTF DO U PARK IT IN GEAR FOR?!

if you're worried about it rolling away or something, turn the steering wheel toward the curb, a wall, your front lawn, away from the street....

i hate it when people park my car in gear and DON'T pull the handbrake up. Hate it.

from the sounds of what the dealership said, it was mostly the customer's fault because there was no START button for the remote starter.
