WHEN TALKING TO A MACHINE SHOP THERE IS A TECH BULLETIN STATING THAT FORD ON 94-97 WHEN THEY BAKED THE POWDER METAL FOR THEIR INTAKE SEATS SOMETHING WENT WRONG AND THAT ALL SEATS IN HEAD SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE PEOPLE AT THE MACHINE SHOP SAID THEY HAD TO EVEN REPLACE ALL THE PISTONS IN THE MOTORS DUE TO THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE DEFECTIVE SEATS. AND IT IS ALL A FORD ERROR AND THEY KNOW IT
NO SUMMARY
THE WINSHIELD WIPER WILL COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENLY. WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.
WHILE STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY A VAN, UPON IMPACT, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE IN HALF. VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK
