What owners wrote
Blast from engine at 45 MPH while driving on snowy/icy bridge christmas night 2007. No where to pull over. Bounced off snow pile and with momentum crossed over bridge. Still in traffic and several near misses later highway patrol found me and diverted traffic. Spark had blown right out of engine but still attached to coil. Gas exiting and ignited with each spark firing. Vehicle now at ford dealer. Greater than $4,000 repair.
2001 ford excursion: accelerated after turning a corner and a spark plug blew out. Had been highway driving for 60 miles prior to the failure. The engine still ran but did not run smoothly. The threads were damaged and a new plug could not be inserted. The head is being replaced with a new head from the dealer at an approximate cost of $3800. Nm
