NHTSA Complaint #10326798 — 2003 FORD EXPEDITION

WE OWN A 2003 FORD EXPEDITION EDDIE BAUER. IN JANUARY 2009, WE HAD A "MISFIRE" IN THE #6 SPARK PLUG AND WAS ADVISED TO CHANGE ALL OF THE SPARK PLUGS - WHICH WE DID. SINCE THAT TIME, WE'VE HAD 3 OTHER "MISFIRES" IN THE #6, #8 AND #7 SPARK PLUGS. EACH TIME A REPAIR IS MADE, THERE IS A MISFIRE IN ANOTHER SPARK PLUG WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF THE REPAIR. ON 4/19/2010, THE NUMBER 4 SPARKPLUG BLEW COMPLETELY OUT OF THE ENGINE UPON STARTING THE CAR. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED REGULARLY AT THE FORD DEALER AND ALL REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE BY THE FORD DEALER. WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT FORD KNOWS OF THE DESIGN DEFECT IN THEIR ENGINES AND IT IS A REGULAR PROBLEM WITH THE V8 ENGINES IN THE FORD TRUCKS AND THEY ARE CHOOSING TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. WE HAVE SPENT WELL OVER $3000 TOTAL TO FIX ALL OF THESE ISSUES. WHY ISN'T FORD STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT - ARE THEY WAITING FOR A INJURY OR WORSE, A FATALITY IN ORDER TO ISSUE A RECALL? *TR
