Consumer Description

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT THE EXHAUST PIPE FAILED AT THE MANIFOLD CONNECTION DROPPING THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE EXHAUST, INCLUDING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO THE GROUND. AT A HIGHER SPEED OR WITH UNEVEN GROUND THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS DAMAGE OR INJURY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS YEAR VEHICLE. EXHAUST/EMISSIONS PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER STATED FORD IS COVERING THE PARTS AND LABOR AT 100%. UPDATED 05/24/11
