| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Dt*: the contact stated while descending a mountain at an unknown speed, steam was coming from under the hood. the vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop, where it was determined the manifold had cracked. the manifold was replaced and there have been no further problems. the contact felt that it wasn't right that ford knowing about a serious flaw in an engine component, such as fuel/air intake manifold, should continue producing these flawed components and not have to issue a recall. for ford to pay only for these component failures for the first seven years after original purchase is unfair to many owners of lincoln/ mercury vehicles. *ak |
