Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STARTED TO OVERHEAT VERY QUICKLY, WITHIN 2 MINUTES. THE TEMPERATURE GOT SO HOT SMOKE POURED OUT, AND THE CAR STALED. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES IT COOLED DOWN ENOUGH TO GET IT HOME, AND THEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP. SMOKE WAS EVERYWHERE. THE REPAIR PERSON SIGHTED THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY WAS RESPONSIBLE, AND THAT HE HAS SEEN A LOT OF SUCH PROBLEMS IN CROWN VICTORIA'S OF THE SAME YEAR 1997. THE REPAIR WAS $989.54, AND THE MILAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS CONSIDERABLY LOW FOR THE YEAR. IT ONLY HAS 69, 500 MILES. THE REPAIR SHOP HAS THE DEFECTIVE MANIFOLD.*AK
