Description of the problem | Have 2007 ford focus se with 50,000mil on it. 1st offense happened july 2009. Had to replace 100,000 mil warranty spark plugs(ford product) @ 38,000 mil. They were burnt to crisp . Replaced then 2 wks later btwn 45-50 an hr my car was shifting like a manual transmission. I was told i no longer had a warranty(ford directly said this) went to another rep company. Told me my cylinders were going out. No engine light was coming on. Company told me to call ford directly because maybe there was a recall. They told me there wasn't and that i did have a powertrain warranty but this was not covered,yet my owners manual says that cylinders are covered by powertrain. I paid over $200 to fix problems in aug 2009. It is now oct 2009 and i will have to replace everything again! I am to this date barely over 2 yrs old on the vehicle(bought aug 2007) and just now turned over 50,000 mil. This should not be happening to this vehicle. The company i took it too said that they see this problem alot because the cylinders get too hot and burn the spark plugs because there is no cooling system for this area. This needs to be a recall. |
