Consumer Description

I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE MECHANICS OF CARS, BUT A SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF MY 2001 MUSTANG GT CAUSING A LOUD REPETITIVE NOISE AND A NOTABLE LOSS OF POWER. IT WAS STILL UNDER THE 30 DAY/3000 MILES USED VEHICLE WARRANTY AND IT WAS FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO MYSELF. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN A WEEK LATER AND I WAS TOLD (IN THE BEST WORDS THAT I CAN DESCRIBE IT) THE THREADING IN THE HOLE OF THE PART OF THE ENGINE THAT THE SPARK PLUG SCREWS INTO, WOULD NO LONGER HOLD THE SPARK PLUG AND THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE SENT TO A MACHINE SHOP TO BORE THE HOLE IN DEEPER COSTING A AROUND $3000.00. *NM
