Description of the problem | On certain model ford vehicles using their 5. 4 liter engine (which includes ford/lincoln models) the spark plugs are of a 3 part design which will separate and shoot out of the top of the engine while running causing serious injury or even death and extensive damage to the engine. Ford is aware of this problem as i have been told by several service managers but ford refuses to do anything about it because for every vehicle repair is a 1500. 00 repair bill for the dealer/ford. For people whom don't have 1500. 00 to replace spark plugs which should be a 50. 00 repair, they remain at risk. |
