How many complaints are required before a recall is issued, forcing a manufacturer to make repairs for a manufacturer to make repairs for a manufacturing defect " on your site, there are 24 complaints about the same coolant leaking problem with the plastic intake manifold on Ford's 4.6L engines. Why was the action already taken only applied to police vehicles " I'm sure the leak is the same problem we all have had. Mine is number 25 and these are only the owners who have taken the time to pursue the issue with NHTSA. My cost for the part alone is $650. Since this is an obvious manufacturing defect and Ford has changed the design of the replacement part, I feel the manufacturer should be required to repair it for free.

Problem involves NHTSA recalls 98I001000 and 98V322000. Dealer and Ford say my car does not have these problems. I do not want to take the chance of having my steering control fail, or having my brakes fail. Please help. Also, the transmission has an extremely long shift from first to second. Ford has a tsb on this, and states this will not affect the transmission, but it will shorten the life and lead to possbile accumulator bore scuffing. Thanks!

Car has been in the shop 2 times for gas vapors inside the car, the second time they replace a gas line O-ring but that did not help.I will be sending it back for the same problem this is the third time. The car engine shuts down at any speed and has done it four times, and this will be the second time for this problem, last time my car was in the shop for 5 days and they were unable to find any thing wrong with it.no gas vapors or the engine shutting down.
