Consumer Description

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REFERENCE TO OUR 1999 FORD EXPEDITION. MY WIFE STARTED OUT ON HER DAILY DRIVE TO WORK. AS USUAL, SHE ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO WARM UP FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE LEAVING. ABOUT 1 BLOCK FROM OUR HOME, SHE HEARD A POP AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE, RUN ROUGH, RATTLED AND LOSE POWER. SHE ALSO HAD TROUBLE STEERING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE LOSS IN POWER. SHE WAS ABLE TO RETURN HOME WITHOUT ANY FURTHER INCIDENT. I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE LATER IN THE DAY AND FOUND THAT THE 2ND SPARK PLUG FROM THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD BLOWN OUT OF THE HEAD AND DAMAGED THE COIL. I AM REPORTING THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE I HAVE READ OF MANY FORD OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME FAILURE. THIS VEHICLE RECEIVED A TUNE-UP AT APPROXIMATELY 92000 MILE IN 2006. IT CURRENTLY HAS AROUND 130000 MILES. *TR
