Mines leaking BUT Ford hasnt agreed yet. I am thinking seriously about waiting for the April fix. The leak is slow and I running pure water now. If a Texas freeze comes I will add either Gycol or alcohol

We're working on finalizing the 1999-2000 Lightning intercooler failures for publication and forwarding to NHTSA.

We just posted the 2.5L V6 premature water pump failures today.

You can still submit a complaint form here:

Welp you can add me to the list of the Bad intercoolers....

As of today, when I notices the antifreeze smell, and looked and was fluidless.

I have 9500 Miles. It was built on 2/18/00 and is # 355

I'm not a happy camper!
