Consumer Description

I RECENTLY TOOK MY 2005 FORD EXPEDITION FOR A TUNE-UP AT A LOCAL SHOP. THE OWNER OF THE SHOP TOLD ME THAT THE SPARK PLUG IN CYLINDER #4 BROKE AND IS STUCK IN THE ENGINE. THE SAFEST WAY TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM IS TO TAKE THE ENGINE HEAD OFF TO TAKE OUT THE BROKEN SPARK PLUG. I DID A RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT FORD'S DESIGN OF THE SPARK PLUGS CAUSES THE THREAD TO SEPARATE FROM THE SPARK PLUG ITSELF LEADING TO THE BREAKING OF THE PLUGS. THERE ARE ALSO INSTANCES WHERE THE SPARK PLUG IS EJECTED FROM THE ENGINE. I TRIED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY; HOWEVER, THEY REFUSED TO CALL IT A DEFECT IN THEIR SPARK PLUG DESIGNS. *TR
