problem #4

Crown Victoria 8-cyl

  • 100,000 miles
Catastophic cooling failure. Intake manifold replaced for $900. Mechanic noted that this was common on Ford crown vics with defective plastic intake manifolds (they now use metal). Understand this has been recalled in crown vic taxis and police cars, but not in other crown vics. Why not? won't buy a Ford again. Ford owes me for the cost of the failure of this defective part.
