Issue ID	711543
Internal NHTSA #	10257809
Manufacurer	FORD MOTOR COMPANY
Brand	FORD
Model	F-150
Model Year	2004
File date	07/02/09
Component	ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Went to have spark plugs changed at 100,000 miles in accordance with manufacturer's factory maintenance schedule. Spark plugs are stuck due to factory not seating plugs correctly and not using anti-seize compound during factory installation. It requires a $10,000 machine to negatively polarize the engine so that the plug threads can be decarbonized and hopefully removed. This is an unacceptable factory defect and ford needs to address the issue immediately and re-imbursed the unreasonable costs and burden placed on the consumer. No where in the literature provided by ford was this issue discussed had it been openly discussed or presented in the literature i would not have purchased the vehicle. This is fraud.
