1997 Lincoln Town Car Signature from North America - Comments

Ah, there is a God, but I think we missed out. If you go to www.FordManifoldSettlement.com you can read all about the Class Action and Settlement Fairness Hearing and the results. I also own a 1997 TC and had the same problem with the same $1,000 cost. But I missed returning the completed form along with the Invoice I was holding for the work done. This information had to be returned to a Lincoln dealer during the 90 days following the Proposed Settlement. Sorry.

What if you purchased a 1997 Lincoln Town Car after the class action settlement and you haven't had an intake manifold problem yet? I was unaware of the problems people were having with manifold cracks, nor was I informed about the lawsuit and settlement when I bought the car at the Lincoln dealership on 6-30-06. Will the dealership cover the cost if my manifold cracks in the future? The car currently has 145K miles. I would have thought twice before buying the car if I knew about the problems other people were having with their intake manifolds.

All I know is this little old lady had a 97 TC with 60ooo with the crack manifold and she bought it for 42,000 new & sold it to me for 2500...
