Description of the problem	Spark plugs!! I have a 98 lincoln navigator, i just had a 60,000 mile service completed on it 3,000 miles ago. The truck was sputtering and stalling out in traffic, the lincoln dealership assured me it was a hose egr/pcv, i can't really recall which. They replaced the hose along with the service. I deploy to korea in sep 02', and i get a call from my wife the truck is doing the same thing. So she takes it to a different lincoln dealership, they inform her that a spark plug is rusted and frozen in the head assy. They also inform her that the upper half is broken off, and the lower half is still in the head. I call to ask is this something that should have been caught on one the regular services, and he said "maybe". That is all he would say , he said he could not comment on what another dealership should have done. So i'm getting nowhere, but out of $14-$1,500. My complaint is that how is something like this suppose to caught if no one ever checks under the spark plug covers even for condition and security. I had this truck checked before i left so i would feel good that my wife and kids wre in a reliabl/safe vehicle, when in fact that truck could of stalled out when she was passing or even caught on fire or something. That is my complaint.
