Carrier/rack Problems of Mercury Grand Marquis

The intake manifold is crack.

Last fall, this car starting making creeking and humming noises in the engine. The humming noise would go away after about a minute but not the squeaks and creeks as you drive it. In the winter, there were areas of yellow-green liquid on our garage floor on a few occasions. I took the vehicle in for the headlight recall, and I was told there was a cracked manifold, and a belt problem which was causing the antifreeze leak. When I searched for recalls, I noticed a previous recall for years 1996-2001 for the same problem. This repair is very costly, and I wonder if you could do a recall for this year/model car because I was given it as a gift and am currently laid off? I am attaching former recall settlement for same cars up to 2001. Thank you.

Cracked plastic intake driving down road car began to miss fire so bad I had to stop and call for tow truck.

Plastic intake manifold on 4. 6 liter engine found to be cracked and leaking coolant. The loss of coolant results in the vehicle becoming disabled and/or unsafe to drive. Leaking coolant is also toxic to children and animals, as they are more likely to be in contact with coolant on the ground or garage floor. This defective part (plastic intake manifold) was identified by Ford motor company as defective and quietly settled in a class action lawsuit. Replacement parts have been redesigned. However, Ford did not contact customers with this model car to notify them of the defective part or to offer resolution. Earlier models of this engine (and all other engines) used a metal intake manifold. These were not problematic. Intake manifolds are not a moving part of the vehicle engine, and are not subject to ware. The plastic material used in the problem manifolds are not able to withstand the normal temperature fluctuations of a vehicle engine and are therefore prone to failure. Ford has been contacted in an attempt to resolve this issue, but the company has declined to offer any resolution whatsoever.
