Consumer Description

SPARK PLUG SUDDENLY BLEW OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE CYLINDER HEAD WHILE DRIVING 65 MILES AN HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED $3100 TO PUT ON A NEW CYLINDER HEAD. DID SOME CHECKING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THAT ENGINE THAT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER SHOP AND HAD INSERTS PUT IN FOR ALL 4 SPARK PLUGS ON THAT HEAD FOR $2000. *AK
