Subject: Problem with Intake Manifold Date: 11/02/2004 Hello, I have a 1997 Ford Mustang. I don't drive it much and have less than 36000 Miles on it. The plastic Intake Manifold cracked on me and cost me $850.00 to have it replaced. I Found out that Ford extended the Warrantee on this part to 7 years because they knew it was defective. I missed this warrantee period by 3 months and now they won't pay any part of the replacement costs.
