| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1997 crown victoria lx - 4.6 l engine with 99,000 miles. my manifold intake cracked and failed, resulting in rapid and complete loss of engine coolant. required towing. repair estimated to cost $1,100. ford has been aware of this issue since 1996 and has recalled 1996-2001 crown victoria taxis, limos, and police cruisers for this very same problem, but did not recall private vehicles with the same faulty part. ford did not even notify owners of this defect. i request an investigation be made into the reason why private vehicles were excluded from this recall, as there can be no technical reason. i would also request that ford be compelled to pay for repairs made to cars previously repaired.*ak |
