Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving down the road, heard a loud pop and lost power and control to the vehicle. pulled onto the shoulder and found the engine had blown a spark plug out of the cylinder head. had to take to dealership to replace the aluminum, poorly engineered cylinder head. many, many, many people have reported this same issue and nothing is being done. this has the potential of causing engine fires as the fuel rail can be damaged and ruptured when the plug is ejected out of the head. this needs to be recalled. see how many people are reporting this at: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/ford_spark.html . *nm
