| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had to replace the intake manifold on my 1996 crown victoria earlier this year. i received a letter about a lawsuit that the cost of the manifold would be reimbursed by ford if the final settlement was approved. i have read the information provided and although ford knowingly put a faulty part in my car, i will not receive a reimbursement simply because my repair is beyond the 7 years mentioned in the lawsuit. i want to know what can be done. had i known that this part was inappropriate for the job that it was intended to do, i would not have bought the car. even i know better than to put a plastic/vinyl part where the heat is so intense!!!!! ford needs to be forced by the government to reimburse all of us ,.......period. i don't make a lot of money and had to use a house payment to pay for this and i still haven't caught up! ford screwed me one time before back in the 80's and i screwed up by buying another ford. *jb |
