Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2006 F-150 WITH 99,000 MILES. THE ENGINE DEVELOPED A MISS WHEN UNDER HEAVY LOAD. CHECKING THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE RECOMMEND BY FORD, THE SPARK PLUGS NEED TO BE CHANGED AT 100,000 MILES. I TRIED TO CHANGE THE PLUGS MYSELF AND BROKE THE FIRST ONE. I STOPPED AT THAT POINT AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY BROKE FIVE ADDITIONAL PLUGS AND THE VEHICLE WAS DOWN OVER NIGHT. FORD HAS ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ON CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO FORD. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DUE SINCE ITS OUT OF WARRANTY. I WAS STUCK WITH A $300 LABOR BILL WHICH DID NOT INCLUDE $75 FOR SPARK PLUGS AND $98 FOR THE TOW. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THERE ENGINEERING MISTAKE. *TR
