| I began noticing problems with my 1999 crown victoria in early 2005. my check engine light kept coming on and it kept using a lot of coolant. a ford technician told me during a recent repair that it needed another intake manifold and that it would cost me $800 to fix it at the dealership. i asked him if it was covered under any warranty and i was told no. the other night i was driving down i-35 headed towards dallas when the high temperature gauge started going off. i slowed down and pulled over and when i opened the hood, there was coolant spraying from the front of the intake manifold (near the thermostat). i was able to cool the car down by putting water in the radiator. however, i had to do this every couple of miles because the water kept shooting out of the top of the engine. i finally got to a well lit area and was able to isolate the leak. there is a gash in the intake manifold approximately 2 inches long. i just checked the internet for solutions to my problem and i found out that ford was sued in a class action lawsuit for their defective plastic intake manifolds. it turns out, my vehicle is one of the vehicles that was covered in the class action suit. (and, it was covered when ford told me it wasn't!!!) so i called ford to have them come pick up my vehicle and repair it. now they tell me i have to pay for it myself!? could someone please help me? i don't think i should have to pay for something that ford already knows is a defective part. i mean, who would make engine parts out of plastic anyway? i don't know if anyone can help me but if you can, please let me know. i have taken the rest of the week off work so i can try to resolve this. thank you. *jb | |||

| I own a 1999 ford crown victoria with 79,514 miles on it. approximately 2 months ago, i started experiencing problems with the engine running hot but not overheating and what appeared to be a coolant leak. i immediately replaced the radiator hose. it did not help. i took the vehicle to have the oil changed and asked that the coolant system be pressure tested for leaks. it was determined that the increased temperature of the engine had caused the thermostat housing to crack and it was also diagnosed to need the intake manifold replaced. i parked the vehicle for the next 2 1/2 months. due to financial obligations, i could not afford the repair which was estimated to be $750 -850. now that i am able to make the repairs, a call to a local ford dealer made me aware of the fact that the intake manifold was defective, however since my vehicle was put in production in december 1999, i had missed the recall deadline. i have owned this vehicle for almost 3 years. in that time, i have not received any information on the recall or the class action suit against ford. my vehicle has had maintenance performed by local ford dealers at which time, i was never made aware of the faulty part. i don't feel as though this is fair. i was not made aware of this factory defect, nor warranty extension to have it replaced. if i had been aware, i would have had the part replaced. now, because of failure by the manufacturer to inform the consumer of this defective part and the recall, i am forced to pay to have this defective part replaced. this is an unexpected expense that will definitely cause a strain on my family finances. not only that, upon calling to get the price of the intake manifold, i was informed that i missed the extended warranty deadline for my vehicle (december 2005). i do not think this is fair. i would like to know if i can pursue action to have my expenses reimbursed and if not, how can i pursue legal action. respectfully, otha farris, jr. *nm | |||

| Reference odi id 752976 - i had a similar experience and failure of the same equipment and parts described in the refereneced complaint. these are latent design/material/manufacturing defects. i was originally told, under warranty, that the shudder was due to the traction control sensors. this apparently was incorrect. now that the vehicle is just over 100,000 mi, ford will do nothing to correct this defect. the dealer to their credit is trying to correct the shudder problem by servicing the transmission with additives. the intake manifold cracking is a design/material defect which was finally discovered after the warranty period although i had complained about coolant odor several times while in warranty. ford split the difference with me on the cost of repair, they should have sholdered the entire cost. now we have another problem which ford, according to the service supervisor is unwilling to correct. there is a serious problem with the brake booster, it has a tendency to crack internally and cause a hard pedal. this defect was discovered on my wife's mercury sable at about 38,000-mi and now is be exhibited on my crown victoria. catastrophic failure of this component at high speed could cause an accident, loss of control in a panic stop because the driver would have to exert an unusual amount of of pressure on the pedal to apply the brakes and activate the abs. i was told that ford as a general policy will not do anything to correct problems on vehicles over 100,000 mi. the manufacturer should not have indemnity relief on safety issues and latent defects.*ak | |||

| My car has 98501 miles on it and the plastic intake manifold is cracked with coolant seeping into the spark plug chamber, per ted britt ford in va. i believe that the cause of the crack is a latent defect in the plastic manifold. i would like to have ford replace it free of charge since it was a latent defect of the manufacturer. i also believe that this condition was there since i purchased the car (original owner), because during the early part of my ownership of the vehicle, there was always a faint odor of coolant in the passenger cab. this was also reported and documented with the service adviser early in my ownership of this vehicle. *jb | |||

| (1) driving on interstate highway car engine suddenly lost power while changing lane. was almost hit from behind but luckily the other car was able to stop. (2) the engine in my car, '99 ford crown victoria, had blown a spark plug.*ak (3) repair involved changing the cylinder head in the engine or replace the whole engine that i opted to do. at first i thought this is just a single incident but i later learned that there are a lot of people who have experienced the same mainly on ford pick-up trucks but also on other vehicles with the same engine / cylinder head design. a ford dealer who did the work for replacing the engine said they have not heard about this before. i have later also learned that a lot of people experience the same with ford, i.e. they claim not knowing about the issue but they must as so many people have complained about this. in my lifetime i have always believed that car engines wear out over time. it is not a normal mode of failure that car engine blows spark plugs and causes thousands of dollars of unexpected cost to consumers like me. nearly $5000 'christmas present' was not in my plans. what does it take to get ford to stand behind their product in this case? as it might not sound a safety issue at first just think what might happen if a spark plug blows during a passing of another vehicle on a 2-lane highway when another vehicle is approaching in not so far distance? it becomes a safety issue in a hurry! about this issue can be read in the interned. jus search blown spark plug and it's all in front of you. thank you, ari rousu | |||
