Consumer Description

2003 FORD EXPEDITION SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT FROM CYLINDER. DRIVING MY CAR FROM PORTLAND TO SEATTLE, HEAR A BANG. PULLED OVER TO FIND THE IGNITION COIL BLOWN OUT OF ITS POSITION. HAD CAR TOWED FOR $100 TO LOCAL SHOP. THEY SAID "THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS IN ANY FORD (THEY) SEE" WHAT HAPPENED WAS THE SPARK PLUG CAME LOOSE (AFTER HAVING THE DEALER TIGHTEN IT LESS THAN A YEAR AGO) AND BLEW OUT THE IGNITION COIL. COST ME $100 IN TOWING AND $700 IN SHOP REPAIRS AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT MORE DAMAGE WAS NOT DONE TO THE CYLINDER. DEALER IN PORTLAND REPORTED A "CLEAN INSPECTION". ONLY HAD OIL CHANGED BETWEEN. *TR
