| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1996 ford crown victoria with a 4.6l engine. i bought it march 16th 2005. on march 17th 2005 i drove it for the first time to work. i accelerated to 70 mph on the us-131. the intake gave out and smoked out the entire highway. it cracked on the front coolant runner of the intake manifold. i was alte to work and had to have the car towed. i am going to be charged about $600 for the replacement intake installled. the mechanic told me that the intakes were recalled, but only on commercial vehicles not private owned. why is this? is the private citizen not important enough? i am living from paycheck to paycheck now, i can't afford to have this kind of work done. my income is limited. i can only hope i can scrape up the money, so i can get to work now. not happy. i will keep the old part.*ak |
