Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 FORD EXPEDITION THAT BLEW OUT THE #3 SPARK PLUG SIX MONTHS AGO. THE REPAIR COST AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP COST $450.00 WITH NO WARRANTY. THIS MORNING I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND HEARS THE LOUD POP AND KNEW THAT A SPARK PLUG HAD AGAIN BEEN EJECTED. I WAS SEVEN MILES FROM HOME SO I THOUGHT I WOULD DRIVE IT HOME. I DROVE ABOUT 20 MPH ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE GAS FUMES WERE SO STRONG THAT I HAD TO OPEN MY WINDOW. ALL IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT A SMALL SPARK IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR MY TRUCK TO HAVE BEEN ON FIRE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR
