Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / April 2005Mustang Intake Manifold
I took my car in for an oil change and I just found out that my 2000 Mustang Gt with 70,000 miles on it has a cracked intake manifold. Research shows that this is a common problem and that Ford has been doing everything that they can to not have a recall. The original one was made of "composite" material (plastic?). The Dealer wants $600.00 just for the manifold itself which I am told is made of cast iron. If you own a Mustang or Ford product with a 4.6 liter engine be forewarned. A $ 2000.00 problem lies ahead. I have emailed an attorney about a class action lawsuit. Just go to advanced auto parts, they have a cast iron manifold thats $150. Not like you have a warranty to worry about anymore, why stick with OEM parts. >I took my car in for an oil change and I just found out that my 2000 >Mustang Gt with 70,000 miles on it has a cracked intake manifold.

My Ford dealer charged me $140 for the revised intake manifold. Labor was only $200. $2k problem?

Your attorney $wins$. Everybody in your lawsuit gets a few bucks off on their next visit to Ford to have some major work done. Class action lawsuit judgement scenerio #3: You win. Your attorney $wins$. Ford mails you a coupon for a rebate on your next Ford vehicle purchase. Why not money to fix your 2000 Mustang? Because the year is now 2015 and you've long sold/wrecked/forgotten about your 2000 Mustang. Moral: The only people who really win in a class action lawsuit are the lawyers for both sides. As some previous posters said, there are factory and aftermarket fixes for this, well under the $2K that you stated. Besides, does everything on your human body work as well as it did when the year was 2000? Who are you gonna sue for that??? > I took my car in for an oil change and I just found out that my 2000 Mustang > Gt with 70,000 miles on it has a cracked intake manifold.

They've had a safety recall out for the intake manifolds of 2000 Mustang GTs since late 2000. See <http://www.alldata.com/TSB/19/001949C9.html>.
