Consumer Description

MY LINCOLN HAS BLOWN #3 SPARK PLUG-WHEN I WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH-TWICE WITHIN 18,000 MILES BETWEEN INCIDENTS-TOTAL REPAIR COST-OVER $1600-TOTAL AGGRAVATION COST-PRICELESS !! EACH TIME THE PLUG BLOWS-THE MECHANIC "FIXES" IT-AND WE ARE TOLD-THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX-AND IT WILL PROBABLY BLOW AGAIN. WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED BY THIS PROBLEM-IN A LITTLE ONE-HORSE TOWN-WITH NO MECHANIC ON DUTY FOR 2 DAYS-SO, YOU CAN ADD THE HOTEL BILL AS WELL AS THE TOW CHARGE TO THAT ABOVE STATED AMOUNT. UPON RESEARCH-WE HAVE FOUND OUT THAT FORD PRODUCTS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE 1996-NOT ONLY LINCOLNS-BUT, MERCURYS-TRUCKS-ETC. WHAT THE HECK-CAN'T SOMEONE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS NUTS. THIS IS MY LAST FORD-CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE OUR FRUSTRATION-WE LOVE OUR LINCOLN-IT WAS MY HUSBANDS' RETIREMENT PRESENT-WHAT A TOTAL OUTRAGE-THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE-YOU KNOW WHAT-THREE STRIKES-YOU'RE OUT !! SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING-. *TR
