Consumer Description

MAR 2008 WE TOOK OUR 2000 FORD WINDSTAR VAN IN FOR A CLICKING NOISE. WAS TOLD THAT THE PLASTIC MANIFOLD INTAKE VALVE WAS BROKE. THEY SAID TO FIX IT WOULD BE ABOUT $800 BUT IF THE NOISE DID NOT BOTHER US WE COULD LEAVE IT. MAY 2008 WAS REAR ENDED AND TWO DAYS LATER VAN BROKE DOWN. TOOK IT TO HARRIS FORD IN LYNNWOOD WAS TOLD THE MANIFOLD WAS COMPLETELY BROKE AND HAD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT A COST OF $1200. I KNOW THE PLASTIC MANIFOLDS WERE RECALLED ON OTHER MODELS AND THINK THE VANS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. WHAT IS MY RECOURSE? *TR
