Already a Problem with the Stang *Updated*

[Matt G]

500 miles after I bought it I am already having a problem that makes the car undrivable.

My step-dad is saying the intake manifold cracked . Engine coolant is spraying all over the engine bay. I ran through 4 gallons of coolant trying to drive the sob home. Good thing I bought the warranty, I checked and the intake manifold is covered so I just have to get it towed down tomorrow, probablly going to take them a couple days to order the part.. they better give me a rental or i will be pissed.

(yeah i blew a headgasket_

[that90spunk]

oh man. . . at least it was just a headgasket and not something too serious.
Then again im not sure how hard it is to do headgaskets on our cars.

It's a known problem and should be covered under waranty.

Any waranty claims I've had done in the past, if they keep the car for an extended period of time, they give you a rental.

the dealership i go through buys new parts when ever something goes wrong.. when they get a new intake manifold will i get a better/upgraded one? any idea?


i hope so [img]tongue.gif[/img]

i wonder if i can get it replaced by warranty then take it into a ford dealership and have them send me a check using the no receipt method [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yea, I think you get the newer, better manifold.

[Matt G]

do you know if the newer one gives an increase in horsepower?

Hmm, I don't think so. Just a better design.

I agree. Sell a car with blown headgasket, then buy a car with a blown headgasket. J/k. At least this is under warranty though. Sorry to hear about your bad luck bro.

[Matt G]

haha yeah.. i was waiting for some on to say something along that line [img]tongue.gif[/img] .. I just need to get it towed to the dealership so they can take care of it for me.
