Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This incident involves a 1997 mercury grand marquis gs and the failure (cracking) of the manifold intake which is in the process of leading to a high repair bill. i'd like to reference the ford manifold intake settlement. this incident occurred approximately 9 months after the march deadline. we were not notified that there was an on-going settlement or an identified problem with the manifold intake. we request your assistance in providing any recourse in this matter and seeking reimbursement from ford. being a senior citizen and on a fixed income, it is extremely hard when getting hit with a huge repair bill especially when it involves a manufacturers defect. it is a shame that individuals like myself can be taken advantage of by big business and the seemingly hush hush attitude of this defect by not making this case well known. it seems individuals like myself have fallen through the cracks and request your assistance and guidance in this matter. i await your reply to my concerns. thank you. *nm
