Consumer Description

MY 2002 FORD EXPEDITION (83,000 MILES) ON THE WAY HOME FROM LAKE POWELL BLEW A SPARK PLUG OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD.

THE VEHICLE IS STILL IN ST GEORGE, UTAH AT A FORD DEALERSHIP BEING REPAIRED. IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT THE SPARK PLUG ISSUE IS WELL KNOWN. THERE IS NO ASSISTANCE FROM FORD FOR REPAIRING THE WELL KNOWN DESIGN FLAW. *TR
