Consumer Description

SOON AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, STARTED SMELL EXHAUST AND GAS SMELL. DEALERSHIP CHANGED A BROKEN EXHAUST BOLT. SAME THING HAPPEN ABOUT SIX MONTHS LATER. AFTER THREE OR FOUR TRIPS FOR SAME PROBLEM, DEALER CHANGED EXHAUST MANIFOLD. PROBLEM RESURFACED AFTER ABOUT THREE YEARS. TOOK VEHICLE TO ANOTHER SHOP TO HAVE BOLTS CHANGE AGAIN. AFTER ABOUT THREE MONTHS, PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN. ONE OF MY CO-WORKERS HAVE SAME MODEL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. SOME OF THE STUDS COULD NOT BE REMOVED. MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT FORD USES A MANIFOLD WITH TWO SETS OF HOLES BECAUSE OF THE BOLT PROBLEM. HE USED THE SECOND SET OF BOLT HOLES ONLY TO HAVE THE BOLTS BREAK OFF AGAIN. IS THERE A FIX OR RECALL IN EFFECT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. PLEASE RESPOND.
