| My 2006 grand marquis original plastic intake manifold developed a crack at the drivers side rear intake bolt area causing it to leak antifreeze. this caused me to have to spend $240.00 to buy a new dorman replacement and install it. ford continues to use these cheap plastic manifolds despite losing a class action lawsuit against them for this problem. there will be more of these plastic manifold failing in the near future to be sure. this problem should be addressed by a new class action lawsuit due to fords continued incompetence as a manufacturer. my car also suffers from a defective eatc air conditioner control that blows air out of the wrong vents and won't activate the ac. also a bolt broke on the drivers side front seat due to rust. also the digital compass has quit working. also had a water leak in the back passenger floor area. *tr | |||
