Consumer Description

INTAKE MANIFOLD CROSSOVER, AS I ACCELERATED THE CROSSOVER ON THE MANIFOLD RUPTURED, BURSTING, MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF COOLANT TO BE EXPELLED , CAUSING SEVERE FOGGING IN THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF CAR, COOLANT ON HIGHWAY INTERSTATE, CREATING A SLICK SURFACE TO OTHER MOTORIST. AFTER CONTACTING AND SURVEYING DEALERS AND REPAIR SHOPS IN THE AREA, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN FORD VEHICLES WITH THE 4.6L V8. FORD DOES HAVE A TSB, HAS DONE A RECALL ON POLICE AND FLEET VEHICLES, REFUSES TO DO CONSUMER AUTOMOBILES. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. DT
