1 Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2015

At 110000 miles my engine started to run very ruff,and would die out at an idle,took it to the dealer and was told it has a cracked plastick intake manifold. When I expressed my concern about putting another plastic part back on,I was told they have redesigned the part because of all the problems they have had with the 4. 6 ltr engine and the plastic intakes!.

2 Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problem

Failure Date: 08/25/2010

My 2006 Grand Marquis original plastic intake manifold developed a crack at the drivers side rear intake bolt area causing it to leak antifreeze. This caused me to have to spend $240. 00 to buy a new dorman replacement and install it. Ford continues to use these cheap plastic manifolds despite losing a class action lawsuit against them for this problem. There will be more of these plastic manifold failing in the near future to be sure. This problem should be addressed by a new class action lawsuit due to fords continued incompetence as a manufacturer. My car also suffers from a defective eatc air conditioner control that blows air out of the wrong vents and won't activate the ac. Also a bolt broke on the drivers side front seat due to rust. Also the digital compass has quit working. Also had a water leak in the back passenger floor area.

3 Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problem

Failure Date: 04/23/2006

My 2006 Grand Marquis has a very annoying roaring noise when the tachometer is between 1800 and 2000 rpm. Also at highway speed between 65mph and 70mph which is about 1800 on the tachometer. Very irritating.
