Description of the problem | 2005 ford f-150 5. 4 liter engine; all service work was performed at the recommended service intervals on this vehicle. At 102,000 miles, i took the vehicle to the dealership to have spark plugs replaced. (ford recommended 100,000 mile tune-up) the first three spark plugs attempted to be removed by three different technicians broke off even when following the ford tsb proceedure. This tune up will cost me almost $2,000 due to the defective spark plug design. Ford will not help with the repair. |
