Put car in park, and it showed to be in park. But, it was in reverse, going backward, and almost caused an accident.

Grand Marquis 8-cyl

  • 97,130 miles
Coolant leak from crack in plastic intake manifold. This car only has 97,130 miles on it and well cared for. They should not be using plastic in this application - it should be iron or aluminum. This is a common problem I was told with the 4.6 V8 engine. Ford needs to recall these and replace at no cost to customer. I will be writing a letter to Ford if the dealer doesn't cover this as a recall. Ridiculous to use plastic in this application.
