	My 1998 ford crown victoria police interceptor was purchased from a independent dealer in feb. 2005, michigan. i had no problem until july/august then had problems with the intake manifold leaking coolant. i received no notice of the ford recall and by this time i was told by ford, and a ford lincoln merc. dealer that my warranty was up three months ago. my whole problem could have been fixed by ford and they refused. their mistake but my problem now. is this a fair way to treat a ford customer?*jb
