Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The above mentioned car was traded in at a lose to us, we now own a 97 taurus with no problems. ford was contacted, but they did not seem to care, we depleted our savings account of $2000.00 in a month on this car. the dealer hasseled us, but eventually ate the cost to fix the plastic intake manifold. from sept. 15 on slightly chilly mornings it would not crank, it was worked on three different times and i was out of work for it. then the head gaskets cracked, leaving me out of work and a savings, and in dec. the intake went out. the dealer ate the repair, but i had to have a more reliable car so i traded to a taurus. apparently i was not the only one to get a "lemon".
