Consumer Description

MY WIFE AND I WERE GOING DOWN TO SO. CALIF. WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD POP. I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND FOUND THAT THE SECOND SPARK PLUG BACK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAD BLOWN OUT. WE HAD TO SET OUT IN THE DESERT FOR 4 HOURS BEFORE WE COULD BE TOWED. THE FORD DEALER IN CARSON CITY, NEVADA TOLD US THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM AND FORD WOULD NOT COVER THESE REPAIRS. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE, WHERE IS THE RECALL, FORD SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE ALL OF THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS AT THEIR EXPENCE, THEY ARE THE ONES MADE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS.
