Consumer Description

DRIVING MY 97 FORD EXPEDITION HOME FROM WORK IT BLEW A SPARK PLUG AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 76K. BROUGHT IT TO CROWLEY FORD IN PLAINVILLE, CT. AND THE PLUG WAS REPAIRED FOR $750.00. IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED REPLACING FOR THE PRICE OF $5200.00. THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO POOR DESIGN. I DID MY HOMEWORK. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AT THIS TIME FORD IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. *NM
