F-150 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

Heat shields loose on the catalytic converter. Two clamps were replaced again. I had this fixed 2 years, previously. I was charged $70.50 for this to be corrected again. It seems that there is a problem with the quality of the clamps that are being used by Ford.
