| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1997 ford crown victoria w/61,705 miles was making a strange sound. thinking it might be the brakes, i took it to a service center. while they were testing it smoke started poured out of the hood. the result indicated there was a crack in the plastic' manifold which had to be replaced w/a ford part that was a metal part. i understood there was a recall that only included police or fleet cars. it seemed to me that there should be some recourse toward the ford motor company. this car had only 61,705 miles on it. who would think a plastic manifold would hold up at all? not me certainly. *ak |
