Consumer Description

THE INTAKE MANIFOLD FAILED AND COOLANT LEAKED FROM CRACK IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. FORD KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS SEVERAL RECALLS FOR THE PROBLEM THAT COVERS ONLY THE FLEET CARS (TAXI AND POLICE). THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART IS USED ON CONSUMER VEHICLES. I THINK THAT ALL 4.6L SOHC V8 ENGINES WITH THIS DESIGN DEFECT SHOULD BE COVERED.
