Description of the problem | 2004-2007 f-150 truck say to change the spark plugs out at 100k. The dealers say $300 to change but if they snap of it could cost more? They almost always snap!!! Ford has a spark plug that snaps in half when trying to change out do to carbon build up. Bad design and then is about $88 hr for a tech to fix. Almost all dealerships break them and cost the owner $1000 to $1800 for a spark plug change do to poor design? Everyone is breaking and ford is making a ton of money on a problem that should be recalled!!!!! If you research this on the web need i say no more.... I bought a $32,000 truck that i cant change the spark plugs.. Something really needs to happen. Thank you ken belk |
