(2). we had to get it off the freeway and have it towed into mccoy mills ford. the intake manifold, was made of plastic and it cracked and the car was burning hot. it could have very easily caused and accident. defect in the intake manifold. it was replaced , total expense - $1028.54. they would not replace it free, but i feel ford should have to refund me for fixing it, since it was a defect and made from plastic. i didn't think to ask for old parts. the service man told me it was made of plastic and that they were using metal now. i also found out that a lot of the police cars, the crown victoria's, have done the very same thing. i would like to know if a lawsuit has been started against ford, if so, i would like to join it. *ak |
