Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A 2001 USED FORD EXPEDITION IN DECEMBER 2006. BY AUGUST 2007 WHILE IN HAY WAY 11 FROM EL CENTRO TO CALEXICO I MADE A STOP IN A STOPLIGHT IN HEBER AVENUE. AS I ACCELERATED I NOTICE THE CAR RUNNING ROUGHLY. I STOPPED AND OPEN THE HOOD AND I NOTICE THAT SPARK PLUG # 3 BLEW OUT OF ITS PLACE. I BOUGHT A NEW SPARK PLUG AND IT WOULD NOT FIT SINCE THE OLD SPARK PLUG DAMAGED THE HEAD. PIECES OF METAL WENT IN THE CYLINDER AND WARPED IT AS WELL AS THE PISTON. NO I HAVE TO PUT A NEW ENGINE IN SINCE I DO NOT HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE COST IS ABOUT $2600 DLLS. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE IN THE NET AND WITH LOCAL MECHANICS AND I NOTICE THAT THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS EXPEDITION OR F150. *TR
