Consumer Description

SPARK PLUGS FAILING. FORD SAY THEY SHOULD BE CHANGED EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE RATED FOR 100,000 MILES. COST STARTS AT $300 AND CAN GO UP TO THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. THE FAULT IS THAT FORD INSTALLED SPARK PLUGS THAT CAN GAUL OR REACT WITH THE AL BLOCK. THIS MEANS THE PLUGS MIGHT BREAK ON REMOVAL LEAVING PARK OF THE SPARK PLUG IN THE BLOCK. THE BLOCK WOULD THEN NEED TO BE DRILLED OUT TO REMOVE THE REMAINING PART OF THE SPARK PLUG. IT IS ALSO A KNOWN FACT THAT SOME OF THE SPARK PLUGS ARE BLOWING OUT OF THE BLOCK ON THEIR OWN.
