Consumer Description

WHEN TAKING MY VEHICLE OUT FOR TEST DRIVE AFTER PUTTING NEW BRAKES ON. WHILE DRIVING AN SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT. WHILE CHECKING ONLINE I FOUND THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. I WAS VERY UPSET TO FIND OUT FROM THE DEALER THAT IT'S GONNA COST $585.70 TO FIX ONE SPARK PLUG AND REPLACE COIL. I ASKED ABOUT REPLACING ALL THE PLUG AND THEY QUOTED $900 TO DO ALL OF THEM. AS A RETIREE OF FORD I THINK THIS IS CRAZY. THEY TELL YOU IN THE MANUAL THAT THE PLUGS ARE GOOD FOR 100,000 MILES. THE MECHANIC SAID THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN EVEN IF WE REPLACED ALL THE PLUGS. I'M THINKING OF TRADING MY TRUCK OFF AND AM CONSIDERING ANOTHER BRAND. *TR
