| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: After taking our '99 ford expedition in due to a spark plug shooting out while my husband was driving to lunch we had it repaired of course, $517 dollars later. he lost time at work that day to get it towed and of course we were without our vehicle for a week at our expense. there was a thread repair insert in cylinder #5 spark plug hole done to repair the problem on march 15, 2005. last thursday sept. 15th it blew again as my husband was leaving our home with our son. the head needs to be replaced. we are in the middle of deciding what to do as we can't afford this $3,000 dollar problem that if you inspect is very common, more so than the speed control recall. even a ford employee my husband was discussing this with trying to help us out said he sees this every day! *nm |
