#751675September 5, 2001
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
PASSENGER SIDE FACTORY EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED WITHOUT WARNING, SHOWING FRACTURE BETWEEN CYLINDERS TWO AND THREE. EXHAUST SOUNDS INCREASED BOTH DURING IDLE AND AT SPEED. NOISE CAN BE DESCRIBED AS CRACKLING/POPPING AT IDLE AND A VERY LOUD HIGH-SPEED TURBULENCE (AS IF FROM A LARGE ENGAGED CLUTCH FAN) WHEN ACCELERATING. CRACKED MANIFOLD HAS TRIGGERED "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ON LONG TRIPS (AFTER 3+ HOURS HIGHWAY DRIVING). HAVE NO REASON TO SUSPECT THE CRACKED MANIFOLD IS A REPLACEMENT. APPEARS TO HAVE CRACKED SPONTANEOUSLY AND WITHOUT EXTERNAL ASSISTANCE (I.E. DRIVING THROUGH DEEP WATER, OVER ROUGH TERRAIN). INCREASED EXHAUST NOISE AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE WAS ONLY HEARD AT WIDE-OPEN THROTTLE, AND PROGRESSED TO A FULL-TIME LEAK WITHIN 30 DAYS. OTHER STORIES SIMILAR TO THIS ONE ABOUND, I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ISSUE OF DESIGN.*AK

DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS CRACKED NOW FOR THE 2ND TIME IN THE SAME PLACE. THE TRUCK WAS REPAIRED AT BOB TOWNSEND FORD IN CINCINNATI, OH AND WHEN I RETURNED TO SHOW THE DEALER THAT THE DOOR WAS CRACKED AGAIN I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MGR THAT SOMETIMES STUFF LIKE THAT HAPPENS. I HAVE NOTICED THE SAME CRACK IN THE SAME SPOT ON OTHER FORDS INCLUDING THE 97 MODEL. I WANT MY DOOR REPAIRED BY FORD! I WAS TOLD BY BOB TOWNSEND FORD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIR OUT OF MY POCKET. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT IS UNWILLING TO HONOR ITS SO CALLED QUALITY CARE PROGRAM TO ITS CUSTOMERS.*AK
