| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving my 1997 ford crown victoria down the highway there was a gush of smoke behind my car and it started to over heat. stopped and found anti freeze spraying out of exhaust manifold. had it towed to a mechanic that advised me that ford had updated plastic manifold part with an aluminum part but did not do a recall. $1,000 dollars later i was back on the road. we are ford people and very disappointed in ford for not recalling this item. i had my whole family with me and 3 hours from home, had to pay for another night of lodging and food on top of the whole experience being stressful i am out $1,000 dollars. we are going to write to ford and better business bureau. after that we will go to small claims court. *nlm |
