Consumer Description

A WEEK AGO I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 FORD EXPEDITION TO FRIENDS FOR A SOCIAL VISIT. ON THE WAY, I DROVE AS I NORMALLY DO THE SPEED LIMIT AS POSTED. AT AROUND 10:00 PM, IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, I ENCOUNTERED THE NOW WELL KNOWN AND DREADED SPARK PLUG EJECTION. THOUGHT I HAD BEEN SHOT AT THERE FOR A SECOND, BUT SOON REALIZED WHAT IT WAS. IT COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AT A WORSE TIME NOR TO A WORSE SPARK PLUG TO REACH, FAR LEFT REAR. I WAS ONLY 75 MILES FROM HOME STRANDED BY MY VEHICLE. I TRULY AM A LOYAL FORD FAN AND OWNER OF SEVERAL, BUT THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED! I AM THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED WITH THIS PIECE OF YOU KNOW WHAT! AFTER GETTING IT TOWED HOME, I ATTEMPTED A REPLACEMENT OF THE PLUG ONLY TO FIND THE PLUG HOLE WAS SCREWED UP AND COULDN'T GET IT IN THERE STRAIGHT. SO WHAT THE HECK DO I DO NOW? FORD MOTOR COMPANY, THIS IS A CROCK AND YOU KNOW IT! WHATYA GONNA DO NOW? BLOW IT OFF AND DO NOTHING, AS I EXPECT. OR ARE YOU GOING TO REPAIR IT AS YOU WELL SHOULD. THESE VEHICLES AREN'T CHEAP, BUT I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THEY AREA BUILT THAT WAY INTENTIONALLY. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FORD? *TR
