Consumer Description

I TOOK MY 1998 LINCOLN TO A DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS OF ENGINE NOISE AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED CAUSING LOSS OF COOLANT AND COLLATERAL DAMAGE COSTING $1400.00. THE DEALER ADVISED THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM BUT EXPIRED IN 2005. CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR FORD WOULD NOT GRANT ANY CONCESSIONS AND BEING ON A FIXED INCOME, I'M LOOKING FOR SOME FINANCIAL RELIEF. I HAD BEEN TO THE DEALERS IN THE PAST FOR SERVICE AND NEVER ONCE DID THEY MENTION A RECALL, EVEN PRIOR THE EXPIRATION DATE. I NEVER RECALLED A NOTICE POSSIBLY BUYING THE CAR IN 2000 BUT YOU WOULD THINK THE DEALERSHIP COMPUTERS WOULD ALERT TO THE RECALL. YOUR ASSISTANCE WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. *TR
