Brought the L to Sunset Ford Thursday. Friday morning I get a call and my service advisertells me, "Your truck is ready" ,I am stunned. After 2 1/2 months my truck is finaly fixed. I call back for a ride, they pick me up and I go find my service adviser. I had told him I wanted to see the intercooler so I could see the leak and call up those dip sticks at spearco and give them the earful they deserve. Anyway the service guy hands me a radiatior. Those clowns replaced the radiator connected to the intercooler instead of the intercooler. I was stuned and speachless! It took all I had to remain calm and carefuly explain that the intercooler in under the supercharger and not in front of the radiator. He came back with a blow up of a parts diagram and ask me to verify which part was the intercooler. He then informed me that they hope to have the part in a week but that the 10 bolts that hold it in place are to be replaced and are unfortunately on National Back order. I can't take much more of this crap! What can I do with these ding bats???

 

NUKE the site from orbit....Its the only way to be sure.

 

I think I would be posting bail about now!!
Sorry to hear it!!

I had a similar let down when I had my 95 L.

Personally mine has not leaked as yet. Ford has a responsiblity to their customers. I am quite surprised at the lack of response from this site to BON. At this rate, Ford will do nothing. Thank You, John

Does it not make sense that an "internal" leak would be inside the engine? If the little radiator was leaking, you would seeeeee it!

 

Is it possible that so many techs can be totally retarded. My understanding was that the only tech that would work on SVT vehicles were those that were SVT trained. Either that is not the case, or selection of candidates is made from those sporting IQs of less than 90. I would be spending the night (or perhaps longer) in jail had I had that experience.

Red,

Sorry for your woes.

To add some light to this unfortunate matter, the "dealer" I took mine to told me (on the phone) and actually wrote on the ticket (I have proof) that my truck didnt have an intercooler or supercharger.....DUH

 

You should talk to Bruce(Gen. Manager) or Mike (Owner) bruce@sunsetford.net I don't know if it will help but he has told me in the past that he will help. Mike drive a White L so you would think that there shop would be up on the L.

I had a problem with my intercooler leaking. It was fixed under warranty last year after 2 1/2 months in the shop. It is now leaking again and my warranty is almost up. Here we go again

 

I have the same problem with my L, I took mine in for service a month a ago and they fixed it after trhee trips there and them telling me that it was not leaking. I was filling it up every three days fully and he's telling me its not leaking. Well they fixed in a week suprisingly enough, but now its starting again. I think we all need to get on ford's A*s and demand that somthing be done to fix this permenetly. Also got the clunk that they said they fixed three times. Hey what about that lemon law. My father filed a lemon law case with mercedes and he won back the money. We should file a class action law suit. Any Laywers out there with a L.

Well, if my warranty expires and this happens again, it will certainly involve a trip to my attorney's office. That said, the first step anyone with an IC leak should take is to register here:

If we can prove that its a mass problem, there's a better chance of getting it fixed.

 

Nathan, I will be "to the point". Why have you not posted at BON? Have you filled out a NHTSA Report? I am absolutely bamboozled at the lack of posts over at BON concerning these issues! If you want political action, you have to vote! What is the deal here? I have asked for a complaint form for the "clunking front end." I'll tell you guys...with the "Firestone Fiasco" it will be a miracle if SVE is around in another 2 years....we NEED SUPPORT FROM MEMBERS WITH LIGHTNING VIN'S POSTING AT BON!!!!!! 24 posts total over there is a joke!!! MODS..MODS..MODS...bejeezus christ..this lightning will go down as another Vega in the history books..IMHO...
