I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH MY 2000 FORD EXPEDITION UNTIL MAY 25, 2012. I HAD TAKEN MY HUSBAND AND DAUGHTER TO MY PARENT'S HOUSE AND WAS GOING TO GO INTO TOWN. I WAS ABOUT 50 FEET FROM THE STOP SIGN WHEN I SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD BANG AND MY VEHICLE STARTED SOUNDING LIKE A LAWNMOWER! I WAS NOT SURE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND WAS AFRAID IF I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT RESTART, YET I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE IT TO CONTINUE TO RUN BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO FURTHER DAMAGE THE MOTOR. LUCKILY, SINCE I WAS ONLY A BLOCK AWAY, I JUST DECIDED TO DRIVE IT RIGHT BACK TO MY PARENT'S HOUSE; WHERE I HAD TO HAVE AAA COME AND TOW IT BACK TO MY TOWN TO THE SHOP. COME TO FIND OUT, I BLEW THE #3 SPARK PLUG. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS EVER HAPPENING; BUT I AM NOW. I DRIVE MY CHILDREN TO AND FROM SCHOOL EVERY DAY IN THIS VEHICLE. NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I AM AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, AND I AM NOT IN A POSITION TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE. FORD SHOULD OWN UP TO THIS DESIGN FLAW IN THEIR MOTORS. *TR
