Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am a school teacher that drives a 1999 expedition v8. i was on my way to school two weeks ago and heard a loud bang come from under my hood. it then started to sound like a john deer tractor. i had my spark plugs replaced last year and thought that it would be the same again. i took it to the same mechanic that replaced spark plugs last year and told me that the plug blew my thread out and that it might need some serious engine repairs because of it. he also told me that this is a common problem with these ford vehicles. apparently it is going to cost me 3,000 to fix. i am a teacher and find it ridiculous to have to pay for this when there has been so many complaints over the same engineering problem! ford needs to do something about this. after seeing so many complaints online, it really makes me upset and feel emotional stress. the need to recall these aluminum engines. *jb
