Description of the problem	On three separate occasions, my 2002 ford expedition has blown a spark plug. This is a well documented, albeit unacknowledged by ford, issue with the triton engines. Each time, i incurred the direct cost of an independent mechanic correcting the issue using after market repair kits. Websites such as consumeraffairs. Com are replete with others encountering the same problems. Why ford has not been forced to recall and fix these vehicles is beyond me. There is a very real danger with the blown spark plug igniting vapors and starting an engine fire. Each time the spark plug blew, it was while the car was in motion, causing rapid deceleration and jerking of the car. I am using the second date of incident for purposes of this report. The most recent occurrence happened on sunday, nov 30, 2008.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
