2001 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS Complaints

THE 1996-2001 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS WITH A 100% PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD IS KNOWN FOR ENGINE OVERHEATING, EVEN WITH NORMAL USE, AND A COOLANT LEAK FROM THE FRONT OF THE MANIFOLD. THIS WILL OFTEN TRIGGER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND LOW ENGINE COOLANT WARNING LIGHT. THE ENGINE COOLANT LEAK IS FROM A FACTORY DEFECT, WHICH CAUSES CRACKING ON THE FRONT COOLANT PASSAGE OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. IN A VERY SHORT TIME, THIS LEAK WILL LEAD TO ENGINE OVERHEATING ISSUES, ESPECIALLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IDLING. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. I THINK THE CAR PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY FORD WHEN THEY NEW ABOUT THE PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD.
