The plastic intake? cracked Ford recall repaired it. 1st dealership notified wayne morris Ford in perry, ga would not help at all. 2nd dealership notified warner robins Ford found the recall and repaired it a no charge. Also have problems with the front end and steering wheel vibrating/shaking at various speeds. I have replaced the rotors and brake pads which has helped a little. But can not get any answers or a resolution from any mechanic to date.
