Consumer was having a problem with intake manifold that was made of plastic. He had to have it replaced with the retro fit manifold which was aluminum and plastic. Consumer found a recall on the internet dealing with intake manifold, and took the vehicle to a dealer to have it repaired, but Ford would not repair it. Consumer spent over $600 for repairs. Did not think this was fair since Ford knew the problem.
