ENGINE
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. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:SWITCH
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK THE GEAR LOCKED IN REVERSE AND WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT GO FROM LOW BEAM TO HIGH BEAM. ADDITIONALLY, THE TIRES SLOWLY DEFLATE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS ALERTED. THEY REPAIRED THE GEAR COLUMN, HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND SUGGESTED TO CHECK THE TIRES WEEKLY AND ADD AIR.
