NHTSA Complaint #11473887 — 1998 FOUR WINDS FOUR WINDS

The vehicle has 66,000 miles. While driving on interstate, a spark plug blew out. Since it was Sunday afternoon & only help I could find was an independent mechanic that repaired it. We headed down the interstate again and after about 100 miles, it blew out another spark plug. We came home with a loud noise. It is a manufacture’s defect. They used an aluminum head. I know a little bit about engines and had read about this happening & it finally happened. If someone that did not know what was wrong, they could be stuck or in a dangerous place with no available help. The V-10 engine runs good with plenty of power as long as it keeps all the spark plugs. This is a known problem that Ford will not do anything about. They have also had this same problem on some 4.6 liter engines.
