| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My complaint is about the intake manifold on the 1996 lincoln town car. i am a avide car person and i have worked on car all my life. i have come across a problem that i have found out a lot of people are having. the intake manifold on the 4.6 liter engine. this engine is common in the big ford car. my car developed this problem after 136,000 miles. so when i started looking for the part i had a problem finding it. after a long search i started getting the samething, we are out of the part, and the people that had the part wanted just as much or more than the part cost new. then i was told by a person at the junk yard that i should check to see if there was a recall because he stated that he gets a lot of calls on this same part. i called ford and found out that there was an extended warranty on the part, seven years. my warranty expired last year. so i started doing research and found out that this problem was all over the country. so i went to the dealership. i went on 8/18/2004 and i asked about this and a mechanic took me to a work station and on the floor was 4 intakes all with the same things, cracked! i wrote ford and was told that they could not do any thing for me, my time has expired. now i am out of a car with no job and no money and ford will not do anything. i think that this is something for you to look into. ford should issue a recall! i have done a lot of research on this matter. please contact me! |
