Description of the problem	I'm not sure this is going to do any good, because i am not the first to lodge this complaint. Nothing has been done so far. This is the 5th time that this particular incident has happened to me. The most recent was yesterday 2/29/2012. I am very grateful that i was driving each time and not my wife or kids. I have a 2002 ford expedition and on 5 different occasions over a two year period, while driving on the highway and around the neighborhood, the spark plugs have blown out of the cylinder heads. It has not always been the same plug. On 3 of the occasions the coils broke off. I don't understand why me or anyone else as consumers has to pay for the mistakes of ford's poor design flaws. There is no reason why this has not been a recall item. It is clearly a safety issue. If they can recall a running board light, then why have they not been forced to recall this item? I hope that it doesn't come down to someone losing their lives, before something is done.
