| Description of the problem | I just had to pay my ford dealership $1,270. 00 to replace the "spark plugs" on my 2004 f-150,the ford motor company states that they have an issue with the spark plugs in their technical service bulletin 08-7-6 in ford f-150 trucks, ford mustangs, ford explorers, ford expeditions, lincoln navigator,lincoln mark lts, and mercury mountaineers model years 2004-2008. The plugs will break or snap during the removal process in turn the owner is expected to eat the cost of their labor and material to correct the problem. The owners manuals state that the plugs will last for 100,000 miles before replacement, i spoke to the relations department with the ford motor company and they state that they know that the problem exists but that is all they will say. |
