Default 96 gt intake break???

So about a few months ago i picked up a 96 gt 80,000 miles five speed as a daily driver, its completley stock...

it all goes bad when im driving and i start to see a smoke in the rear view mirror. i stop and its pouring from under my hood, i pull over and the valley between the heads is filled with coolant....

take it to the shop and i find out that the intake is cracked on the front coolant runner. so i decide to get it fixed....850 bucks....

after getting my car back i do a recall check. sure enough ford says that they will fix the problem only if it does in fact break....within 7 years...

this sucks because the car is now 8 yrs old. do any of you guys think that i could get ford to reimburse me any amount of money???

or do any of you guys have the same story as i do? any info would be greatly apriciated..
