On my web site (not owned by me, I`m just the senior administrator) We have members getting their warranty work denied all the time. for instance, there is a big problem with the 5.0 (2011-2014) having a BBQ igniter "tick" after the second or third oil change. Ford knows about this, & for most of their customers, their attitude is "tough", saying things like "its normal", or "its your fault, you must be abusing your Mustang". There is also another big problem with the hood paint bubbling on quite a few cars. More often than not, Ford & the dealers will fight the customer tooth & nail so as not to fix the problem. And don`t get me started on the Chinese MT82 manual transmissions that Ford knows very well that there are problems with, but in very many cases refuse to fix under warranty. It seems nowadays, they don`t mind loosing customers, & even if you threaten them with a law suit, they have deeper pockets and an army of their own lawyers on speed dial. Don`t get me wrong, Ford makes some fine cars & trucks, but quite a lot of the time, they & their dealers are not predisposed to be customer friendly if there is a problem that is going to cost real money to fix. They can`t legally deny you warranty coverage, but they will & basically tell you "what are you going to do about it?"
