| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I am the owner of a 1997 lincoln town car. my wife was driving the car today with her mother and 2 children, ages 2 1/2 yrs & 4 wks. the engine suddenly began to loose coolant fluid rapidly and overheated. this left all of them stranded. after having the vehicle towed into a repair shop, we were notified it had a cracked intake manifold. it only has 99k miles. then i was informed that this was normal considering it had a plastic manifold. after researching this issue, i have found thousands with the same problem, but of course ford is willing to handle the big guys (i.e.; government fleets and taxis services) and get their problems fixed. of course us little guys must spend the money to replace some guys project with plastic. they would loose money if they didn't take care of their money bag, the big guys. so tell me why i have to pay $1000 to fix their screw up. i think their needs to be another class action to make ford pay for their mistake. i am paying for mine, buying a ford. *nm |
