Consumer Description

IN A MATTER OF 9 MONTHS, MY 1997 FORD EXPEDITION HAS MISFIRED AND BLOWN OUT SPARK PLUG 4 TIMES NOW. HAS COST ME OVER $3,000 IN REPAIRS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED MY TRUCK SMELLED LIKE FIRE, BUT NEVER IGNITED. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON FOR A 5TH TIME, THE TRUCK IS MISFIRING AGAIN AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ANOTHER BLOWOUT OCCURS. *TR
