Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Driving from a surface street onto a major arterial, a 1997 lincoln towncar original plastic intake manifold cracked, spewing coolant and engine oil from motor, when the vehicle accelerated to and attained 55 mph. motor requires replacement. if ford has a better idea, i sure wish they'd share it with their customers. i feel lucky to have steered from the major arterial upon which i was driving, without any additional negative consequence to myself or another person or vehicle. it is not a fun experience to have your engine blow at 55 miles an hour! fomoco should have a major recall to repair this item before more persons and property are imperiled.*ak
