Description of the problem	Ford triton engine spitting spark-plugs out of engine resulting in gasoline being sprayed all over engine. Costly repairs are minimum $400+. This has happened 4 times to me and i can anticipate it happening on the remaining 4 cylinders in my 2002 ford expedition. As a result of this problem ford is aware of, gasoline is being sprayed on 1000's of engines when this happens. Bad design by ford. Aluminum heads on iron engine. Duh. My investigation has determined that there are 1000's of ford owner who have experienced this same problem yet ford is unwilling to do anything about it. Their repair shops will charge anywhere from $400 to $1600 to repair the problem. Please address this issue before my remaining 4 cylinders go and i will have to pay to get this bad design repaired. Thank you.
