DRIVING FROM A SURFACE STREET ONTO A MAJOR ARTERIAL, A 1997 LINCOLN TOWNCAR ORIGINAL PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD CRACKED, SPEWING COOLANT AND ENGINE OIL FROM MOTOR, WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO AND ATTAINED 55 MPH. MOTOR REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. IF FORD HAS A BETTER IDEA, I SURE WISH THEY'D SHARE IT WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS. I FEEL LUCKY TO HAVE STEERED FROM THE MAJOR ARTERIAL UPON WHICH I WAS DRIVING, WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCE TO MYSELF OR ANOTHER PERSON OR VEHICLE. IT IS NOT A FUN EXPERIENCE TO HAVE YOUR ENGINE BLOW AT 55 MILES AN HOUR! FOMOCO SHOULD HAVE A MAJOR RECALL TO REPAIR THIS ITEM BEFORE MORE PERSONS AND PROPERTY ARE IMPERILED.*AK
