| Description of the problem | I want to add my name to the ranks of ford f150 owners who had the nightmarish experience of simply needing spark plugs changed. Unaware that there was a problem with this sparkplug design, i asked my mechanic to do a simple tune up. Two sparkplugs broke and he is still researching how to proceed without incurring the most expense. Tells us about inexpensive recall items, is it because this is expensive that they have not issued recall on this design flaw? *tt |
