Consumer Description

TO START OUT, IT SHOULD NOT COST $1249.00 TO CHANGE ONE SPARK PLUG... DUE TO FORD'S DESIGN FLAW ON THEIR MOTOR CRAFT SPARK PLUGS WHICH CAUSES TH EM TO BREAK EXTREMELY EASY, I AM BEING CHARGED TO TEAR DOWN MY ENTIRE ENGINE TO RETREIVE ONE SPARK PLUG!!! THIS IS FORD'S FAULT AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL MECHANICS THAT FORD DESIGNED THEIR MOTOR CRAFT PLUGS TO BREAK!! FORD IS ALSO THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I PAID OVER $400.00 TO CHANGE 2 COIL PACKS THAT I WAS HIT WITH THIS PRICE. THIS F-150 WOULONLY DO 30-35 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY...I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND!! THESE SPARK PLUGS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED! MY TRUCK IS STILL AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AFTER A WEEK...I ALREADY PAID $126.00 FOR MY MOTOR CRAFT PARTS BY CASH EVEN BEFORE TAKING MY TRUCK TO THEM. THIS IS NOT RIGHT ON THE PART OF FORD TO DESIGN A VEHICLE LIKE THAT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS DEFECT PROBLEM SO OTHERS ARE NOT CHARGED LIKE I AM BEING CHARGED. PLEASE RECALL THESE SPARK PLUGS !!!! *TR
