| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was referred by mr. michael j. sacks at msacks@lemonlaw.com his response: it sounds like you are getting the run around and i would recommend you contact nhtsa in washington dc if the company is not willing to follow through with recalls. website is www.nhtsa.gov problem details: recently i received an estimate for work for $899.14 to fix a cracked manifold along with gaskets, and seals on my 1997 ford crown victoria, that i purchased from a used car dealership in baltimore, md in 2003. this piece was originally recalled by ford company, but never replaced by it's original owner, nor the dealership that i purchased the vehicle from. when this breakdown occurred i contacted the company where i purchased my extended warranty from in september of 2005. the claim was denied because they do not cover items that were recalled. i was then directed by the warranty company to call ford company directly, i followed up and made the call to find that the manifold that was recalled had a seven year warranty from ford company that had expired. i am now stuck with an $899.14 bill out of pocket expense for something i knew nothing about until it occurred. i feel that before selling me the vehicle this should have been investigated and taken care of by the dealership bruns motors. i am yet to be able to repair this problem, because i do not have the funds. please advise me in anyway that you can, your help is greatly appreciated. if i am not able to answer the phone please don't hesitate to leave a message. thank you for your attention to this matter. *jb |
