Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 FORD EXPEDITION WITH THE TRITON V-8, 5.4 LITER ENGINE THAT HAD A SPARK PLUG POP OUT OF THE HEAD WHILE I WAS DRIVING, DESTROYING THE FUEL INJECTOR. ACCORDING TO MY FORD DEALER, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE AND CAN'T REALLY SEE HOW YOU CAN USE THE WORD COMMON WITH A SPARK PLUG EJECTING ITSELF, BUT OH WELL. ANYWAY, FORD DOES NOT HAVE ANY KIND OF WARRANTY ON THIS. HOW CAN THIS BE?? A SPARK PLUG EJECTING CAN LEAD TO THE VERY REAL POSSIBILITY OF FUEL COMING OUT OF THE CYLINDER AND IGNITING. THIS SEEMS PRETTY DANGEROUS TO ME. THE DEALER WILL HAVE TO HAVE THE SPARK PLUG PORT RE-THREADED AND A NEW INJECTOR PUT IN PLACE FOR A TOTAL OF 590 DOLLARS. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD. *TR
