1997 Ford Expedition Owner Comments

problem #1

Feb 072004

Expedition 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 105,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I have owened a 1997 Ford Expedition for 1 year. In this time I have had the same problem twice. The spark plugs come loose from the piston head and are blown out and damage the coil pack. There is then un-burnt fuel coming from the piston chamber and the spark plug is still firing with the possiblity of a fire. The dealership has told me that this is a known and addressed issue by Ford Motor Company, but Ford will only pay for repairs upto 75,000 miles. This last time this happened it damaged the head and will require major repairs. I am mostly concerned with the fire saftey and believe that this should be a manditory recall.
