Consumer Description

FORD SPARK PLUG EJECTION, 2003 FORD EXPEDITION 5.4L TRITON ENGINE. "CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM" HAS 317 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. FORD DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TWO (2) BLOW-OUTS, COSTING ME $1,200.00 I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A PETITION FOR RECALL STARTED, BASED ON POTENTIAL FIRE AND SAFETY ISSUES. IN MY CASE, I WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH AND LOST POWER WHILE IN TRAFFIC. I HAD TO CAREFULLY PULL OFF HIGHWAY WITH VERY LITTLE ENGINE POWER. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I NOW OWN A VEHICLE THAT I CAN NOT TAKE ON A LONG TRIP, FOR FEAR OF HAVING THE ENGINE EXPLODE AGAIN. HOPEFULLY, IT WILL NOT TAKE A FATALITY OR SERIOUS INJURY TO HAVE SOMEONE REVIEW THIS PROBLEM AND TAKE ACTION. THE FEBRUARY 21,2007 MEMO FROM DOT, REF: DP05-005 REVIEW IS IN NEED OF UPDATING. THE NUMBERS ARE NOW MUCH GREATER THAN PREVIOUSLY REPORTED. PLEASE REVIEW THIS PROBLEM. FORD SIMPLY SAYS " NOT MY PROBLEM". [XXX] *TR
