| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had a ingnitor blow completely out of the head on my expedition. . it immediately smelled of gas and sounded like a tractor. the ingnitor then kept hitting the fuel rail. we were lucky that the vehicle did not start on fire because of the two hitting and starting a fire with a spark. when i talked to a ford dealer they said that yes it does happen quite a bit because of the on the head...they only put 2 threads in to thread the ingnitor in. i think there needs to be a recall on this if this happens. some one could be working on the vehicle when this happened and could start a fire due to the gas. it will now cost me $3000 to fix this design default only to get replaced by the same issue!!! *jb |
