Consumer Description

I RECENTLY DETERMINED THAT I NOW HAVE A LEAKING FRONT COVER/INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET/CRACKED INTAKE MANIFOLD ON MY 1997 FORD CROWN VICTORIA 4.6 LITER V-8 WHICH WILL REQUIRE IMMEDIATE REPAIR. HAD THIS DEFECT MANIFESTED ITSELF BACK IN 2005, I WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE CHAMBERLAN V. FORD SETTLEMENT BUT CLASS MEMBERS HAD TO SEEK REIMBURSEMENT BY MARCH 16, 2006. SINCE MY 1997 FORD CROWN VICTORIA HAS ONLY RECENTLY STARTED LEAKING COOLANT, I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO FORK OVER THE REPAIR MONIES MYSELF. IS THERE ANY CHANCE OF FORD REPAIRING THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT GRATIS? F
