Well, shortly before my ST hit the 40k mile mark, I started to hear an exhaust leak from the passenger's side
Pep Boys diagnosed the problem as a leaky passenger side manifold. They said it will need to be disassembled to determine if it's the gasket or the manifold itself. So the quote ranged from ~$300 to ~$550, depending on which part was at fault.
I called the local Ford dealer and asked about any TSBs or recalls they might have on my problem. They said there weren't any in the system, but told me that as long as the vehicle has less than 60k miles, it's a warranty repair. So, I'm dropping my ST off this Thursday night so they can look at it Friday.
It seems ridiculous for these things to fail under 40k miles, and I'm wondering when the driver's side manifold will start leaking.
Has anyone else had the same or similar problem with their Trac?
