3RD TIME PROBLEMS WITH SPARK PLUGS AND FUEL INJECTOR....WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THIS YEAR MODEL THE INJECTORS ARE BAD FOR STICKING....LEAVING THE OWNER TO PAY FOR REPAIR COST AND THE EXPENSE OF CHANGING FORDS FAULTY SPARK PLUGS. *TR

ENGINE WAS LOSING POWER UNDER LOAD (ONLY WHILE ACCELERATING). NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVER CAME ON. AT 88,000 MILES FIGURED THAT NOT ONLY WILL I REPLACE ALL 8 SPARK PLUGS, BUT WOULD REPLACE ALL 8 COIL PACKS AS WELL. UPON REMOVAL ON THE SPARK PLUGS, 1 SPARK PLUG BROKE (SO FAR) LEAVING THE BOTTOM PIECE INSIDE THE HEAD. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AS IT CAN LEAD MANY LIKE MYSELF WITH AN OUTRAGEOUS EXPENSE TO PROPERLY REMOVE THE BROKEN SPARK PLUG AND CAN IN THE LONG RUN DAMAGE THE ALUMINUM HEAD TOO. THEY ARE MOTOR CRAFT PLATINUM (CERAMIC INSIDE) SPARK PLUGS. NAPA SELLS A TOOL TO EXTRACT THE BROKE PLUG OUT. WHY IN THE WORLD THIS IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE ON WITHOUT A RECALL IS BEYOND ME. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND SHOULD HAVE A MASSIVE RECALL FOR THE ANY VEHICLE THAT CONTAINS THESE SPARK PLUGS, LIKE MY 2006 MODEL WITH A 5.3L DOES. I HAVE CALLED FORD AND FILED A FORMER COMPLAINT AND MANY OTHERS NEED TO DO SO AS WELL. I AM ALSO GOING TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB, AS I SPENT A HUGE CHUNK OF CHANGE AND PROPERLY MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE ON A DAILY BASIS. IF MY TRUCK HAS TO GO INTO A REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THIS PLUG REMOVED, I WILL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE. I HAVE 4 FORDS TODAY.......NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN THIS COSTLY! I HAVE A 71 BRONCO, 98 EXPLORER, 01 RANGER, AND 06 EXPEDITION. I GUESS THIS WILL DETERMINE IF I WILL STAY AS A FORD OWNER IN THE FUTURE. *TR
