Description of the problem	The spark plugs on the 5. 4l 3 valve triton v8 are highly common to break while trying to back them out and replace the spark plugs. Ford is aware of the problem and that is it costing customers over $1,000. 00 just to change spark plugs because if they break off, the head has to come off some times to extract the remainder of the broken plug. Ford has refused to fix their screw up and has stated that they will not do anything unless the nhtsa mandates that they fix the problem. I spoke with a local repair shop and he stated that at a bare minimum for a spark plug change on my truck is $700. 00 due to the issue and that most shops wont even touch them. Ford needs to be held accountable for their design flaw and save their customers thousands of dollars in repair bills for a normal $150. 00 job.
