| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 6.8 litre v-10 engine and one spark plug from each cylinder head came out. one cyl head had threads destoyed thereby making a replacement nessesary and the other one was suspect. the dealer suggested a rebuilt engine as costs would be very close between repairs and a genuine ford rebuilt engine and it would come with a warrenty. my complaint is that the plugs came out because the cyl heads were a poor design with only 3/8" threads in an aluminum casting and i shouldn't be paying for poor engineering and designs. there has been an update in 2001 that now has a cyl head with 9/16" threads and plugs to suit. i want ford to install a new updated engine at their cost. |
