 Description of the problemI own the above mention vehicle, there was no disclosure to me at the time of purchase of a very serious design flaw with the spark plugs that could and likely will break off in the engine during replacement and the extreme cost in changing these plugs around 900 to 1000 dollars if no plugs break off and even more in the plugs do break off or heads have to removed to extract the plugs even worse pieces of prshell could fall into the engine cylinder and cause engine damage to around 8000 dollars now that i aware of the extreme cost 3 or 4 times the amount for routine maintenance of changing spark plugs in these ford vehicles ford is no help at all saying its not a safety issue i cant help it the design flaw with these long 2 piece plugs is so serious and the price gouging of the consumer for the cost to change spark plugs is so expensive and so bad i strongly feel that the federal gov should step into the matter and help the consumers out and not allow ford to get by with this extreme bad design flaw and the outrageous cost they are charging and the fed gov should force ford to recall all affected vehicles and mandate that ford eat the cost of changing these spark plugs and put in the newly developed plugs that are not prone to become seized to the engine and ford shall do so at no cost to the consumer safety or not it is just unbelievable they can get by with such a serious design flaw with such a high expense to the consumer for something that is supposed to be routine.
