Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Plastic intake manifold failed causing engine coolant loss and engine overheating. repair bill was $721.55. replacement manifold is a re-designed, two component palstic intake manifold/metal cross-over coolant tube. contacted ford for reimbursement but ford refused. wrote numerous letters and emails to ford but ford refused to take responsibility for the faulty engineering. i still have the defective manifold and continue to drive this sorry excuse of "ford quality". what a joke.
