Consumer Description

I EXPERIENCE A BLOWN SPARK PLUG AT A COST OF $798.00 TO REPAIR. IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING VERY POPULAR WITH THE LARGER ENGINES. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. NO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WILL DO THE WORK, THEY SEND THEM ALL TO THE DEALERSHIPS, WHERE AS WE KNOW THE PRICE INFLATES. FROM ALL THE MECHANICS I HAVE SPOKEN WITH, THE GENERAL CONSENSUS IS THAT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. *TR
