DUE TO FORD'S DESIGN FLAW ON THEIR MOTOR CRAFT SPARK PLUGS WHICH CAUSES TH EM TO BREAK EXTREMELY EASY, I AM BEING CHARGED TO TEAR DOWN MY ENTIRE ENGINE TO RETREIVE ONE SPARK PLUG!!! THIS IS FORD'S FAULT AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL MECHANICS THAT FORD DESIGNED THEIR MOTOR CRAFT PLUGS TO BREAK!! FORD IS ALSO THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I PAID OVER $400.00 TO CHANGE 2 COIL PACKS THAT I WAS HIT WITH THIS PRICE. THIS F-150 WOULONLY DO 30-35 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY...I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND!! THESE SPARK PLUGS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED! MY TRUCK IS STILL AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AFTER A WEEK...I ALREADY PAID $126.00 FOR MY MOTOR CRAFT PARTS BY CASH EVEN BEFORE TAKING MY TRUCK TO THEM. THIS IS NOT RIGHT ON THE PART OF FORD TO DESIGN A VEHICLE LIKE THAT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS DEFECT PROBLEM SO OTHERS ARE NOT CHARGED LIKE I AM BEING CHARGED.

OVER A PERIOD OF 3 MONTHS, I WAS EXPERIENCING A ROUGH IDLE, LOSS OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING ON FLAT SURFACES AS WELL AS CLIMBING HILLS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID IT WAS 2 BAD COIL PACKS. THEY FIXED IT AND 2 WEEKS LATER SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED AND THEY REPLACED IT. DURING THIS TIME, I COULD ALWAYS SMELL THE ODOR OF GASOLINE. AFTER THE LARGE EXPENSE I WAS ASSUMING, I CALLED THE FORD DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT MY 2006 F-150 LARIAT. THE SERVICE MANAGER OF 22 YEARS APPARENTLY NEVER HEARD OF THE COIL PACK GOING BAD ALONG WITH THE SPARK PLUGS BREAKING DUE TO THIS.

DURING THIS SEQUENCE, A COIL PACK WAS GOING BAD WEEKLY AND I HAD TO CONTINUALLY HAVE IT IN THE SHOP. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND AS I CAN SEE, THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE ISSUES OUT THERE AND FORD CONTINUES TO DISREGARD A RECALL. THERE IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AS GASOLINE WILL EMIT FROM THE CRACK IN THE COIL PACK AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
