Consumer Description
THE INTAKE MANIFOLD ON MY 1999 LINCOLN TOWN CAR DEVELOPED A CRACK AND BEGAN LEAKING ALL OVER THE ENGINE . WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2008 AND THE MANIFOLD HAD NOT BEEN CHANGED AND WE KNEW NOTHING OF THE "SETTLEMENT" WITH FORD TO REPLACE THEM.. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THAT AGREEMENT ENDED MARCH 16, 2006.. NOW THE FORD DEALER WANTS $1000 TO REPLACE IT.. WHY SHOULD THE CAR OWNER HAVE TO PAY AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT WHEN FORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR INSTALLING PLASTIC IN AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT THAT GETS HOT AND IS BOUND TO CRACK AT SOME POINT.. JUST A WARNING .. DON'T BUY A TOWN CAR WITHOUT CHECKING ON RECALLS, BULLETINS, AND SETTLEMENTS...
