2007 FORD EXPEDITION. BEGAN TO SPIT AND SPUTTER GOING 45MPH. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO AUTO SHOP FOR REPAIR. COST WAS $1,100 TO REPLACE 8 SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES. FORD USED A DEFECTIVE SPARK PLUG IN THIS VEHICLE. THE PLUG BREAKS OFF IN THE ENGINE WHEN REMOVING THEM. FORD KNEW OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS ISSUE WITH THESE PLUGS BEGAN IN EARLY 2000'S. FORD SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THESE PLUGS LONG AGO. THERE ARE MANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ONGOING RELATED DIRECTLY TO THE FAULTY SPARK PLUG. IF I HAD KNOW ABOUT THE PLUGS BEFORE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, I WOULD HAVE HAD FORD REPLACE THEM BEFORE I EVEN DROVE IT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY FORD EXPEDITION STARTED HESITATING. I WAS DRIVING ON WINDING WEST VIRGINIA ROAD AT THE TIME. VEHICLE STALLED OUT AFTER HESITATIONS. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO SPEED. IT HESITATED SEVERAL MORE TIMES. IN TOWN WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP IT STALLED OUT TWICE MORE. STALLING OCCURRED AS I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER. THEY CHANGED THE IGNITION COILS. AS I PULLED OUT OF THE DEALER IT STALLED OUT AGAIN. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY HAD TO CHANGE OUT THE FUEL PUMP. THE SIDE THE ELECTRICAL WIRES ON THE PUMP HAD MELTED AND WERE MAKING INTERMITTENT CONTACT CAUSING THE HESITATION AND STALLING. THIS COULD HAVE VERY EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE WIRING HARNESS FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CROSSES OVER THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE ARE A SERIES OF CLIPS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE WIRE HARNESS CLOSE TO THE UNDER BODY OF THE CHASSIS. THESE CLIPS PREVENT THE WIRING HARNESS FROM TOUCHING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. DURING USE, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER GETS HOT AND THIS HEAT DEGRADES THE PLASTIC CLIPS TO THE POINT WHERE THE ARE BRITTLE AND FAIL. THIS CAN RESULT IN THE WIRE HARNESS CONTACTING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE HEAT FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER SUBSEQUENTLY DESTROYS THE WIRING AND INSULATION TO THE POINT THAT THE ECM RECEIVES ERRONEOUS INDICATIONS FROM THE TRANSMISSION. IF EXPOSED FOR SUFFICIENT TIME THE CONDITION COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION BEGIN IN LIMP MODE, SUDDENLY FAILING OR A FIRE DUE TO THE WIRING HARNESS IGNITING. *TR
