EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAVE DEVELOPED HOLES IN THEM. I BELIEVE FORD'S SUPPLIERS PROVIDED INFERIOR MATERIALS IN THEIR CASTING OF THE MANIFOLDS. THIS NOT ONLY OFFERS MORE POLLUTION TO THE ATMOSPHERE BUT IS A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR AND HAS ONLY 37000 ORIGINAL MILES. I HAVE VEHICLES BUILT IN THE 1950 AND THEIR EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CONTINUE TO FUNCTION. I BELIEVE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES IS IN ORDER AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS AT THEIR EXPENSE. UPDATED 10/01/15*LJ *CN

DEALER WANTED $700 TO FIX THE SPARK PLUG AND $1200 TOTAL TO REPLACE ALL COIL PACKS AND PLUGS WHICH IS RIDICULOUS FOR A NON-CUSTOM PICK UP TRUCK. WHAT IF MY WIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND NOT KNOWN WHAT TO DO? IT COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE OR CAUSED A CRASH. THE DEALER RATTLED OFF THE ESTIMATE LIKE THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME WHICH TELLS ME THIS IS A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING AND WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED?
