This is apparently a widespread problem on 1996 and newer crown vics, T-birds, mustangs and Lincoln. Ford knows there is a design problem, but refuses to bear the cost. Plenty of complaint info can be found on the web - see www.thecomplaintstation.com a Ford recall is in effect for 96-98 crown vic taxis made in their St. Thomas plant. Very frustrating - my failure happened on the interstate at 75+ mph with no warning. Luckily I could pull off the highway. Going to cost $600+ to repair. Ford doesn't seem to care. Our city garage has replaced at least 5 failed manifolds on cv police cruisers with redesigned manifolds (Ford must know there is an issue here to redesign the manifolds). Mine is not an isolated incident - look at your complaint database and the website I referenced. Please do something!!!no safety defec tlisted.
