| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving my 1997 ford mustang gt and all of a sudden the coolant light turned on and the whole cockpit filled up with smoke. upon not being able to see and the coolant light turning on i immediately had to pull over. after towing the car home i noticed that the intake manifold developed a crack and anti-freeze was sprayed everywhere. an intake manifold is a part that should last the life of a car with proper manufacturing. i did some further research and found that food changed the manifold style in 1999 and changed to a aluminum front runner of the intake manifold instead of the plastic resin that the anti-freeze can eat through. i also found a tsb about it #0222. driving at highway speeds and then not being able to see anything is not a very pleasant experience. especially now that i have a very inconvenient and costly problem that i feel ford should have to pay for. *la |
