Consumer Description

MY 1997 FORD CROWN VICTORIA BLEWOUT A KIT INTAKE MANIFOLD ON THE INTERSTATE AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO COASTAL FORD FOR REPAIRS IN MOBILE ALABAMA AFTER LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I FIND THAT THIS WAS NOT A UNCOMMON FAULT OF THE AUTOMOBILE. ALSO A FRIEND OF MINE HAD A 1997 FORD THUNDERBIRD THAT HAD THE SAME TYPE PROBLEM AND IT WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL. AFTER EMAILING FORD I WAS INFORMED BY DERECK #2132 AT FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED BUT TO KEEP THE RECEIPT IN CASE OF A RECALL. *JB
