I was referred by Mr. Michael J. sacks at msacks@lemonlaw.com his response: It sounds like you are getting the run around and I would recommend you contact NHTSA in Washington DC if the company is not willing to follow through with recalls. Website is www.NHTSA.gov problem details: Recently I received an estimate for work for $899.14 to fix a cracked manifold along with gaskets, and seals on my 1997 Ford Crown Victoria, that I purchased from a used car dealership in baltimore, md in 2003. This piece was originally recalled by Ford company, but never replaced by it's original owner, nor the dealership that I purchased the vehicle from. When this breakdown occurred I contacted the company where I purchased my extended warranty from in September of 2005. The claim was denied because they do not cover items that were recalled. I was then directed by the warranty company to call Ford company directly, I followed up and made the call to find that the manifold that was recalled had a seven year warranty from Ford company that had expired. I am now stuck with an $899.14 bill out of pocket expense for something I knew nothing about until it occurred. I feel that before selling me the vehicle this should have been investigated and taken care of by the dealership bruns motors. I am yet to be able to repair this problem, because I do not have the funds. Please advise me in anyway that you can, your help is greatly appreciated. If I am not able to answer the phone please don't hesitate to leave a message. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I recently spent over $1,000 having the engine check light fixed along with other repairs. I took the car back to super lowe Ford several times after I purchased it because the light stayed on. Super lowe said it was "gas cap is loose" and "it's a short, we can disconnet it if you want us to" etc. It would be off for a few days, then right back on. I was also informed that it really doesn't mean anything, just don't drive in California. Why does the light stay on?

The floor mats keeps shifting right into & under the gas pedal and/or brakes. This causes an interference with the application of either or both pedals. Will be taking to dealer to get mats more stabilized.
