Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving my 1996 mercury grand marquis when steam started pouring from under the hood. i had to have my car towed and learned that the intake-manifold had cracked, causing coolant to pour all over the engine. the garage replaced the unit for a charge of $692 and told me everything was then fine. however, before i got home, my engine light came on. i took my car to the very reputable automobile repair shop that i use and upon checking, they said the wires, points, and plugs needed replacing, no doubt caused from the prior incident. this work cost me an additional $425.
