Since purchase I have traveled 80000 miles and have replaced the rotors 3 times and the pads 4 times on the front. The most current time the vehicle shakes so bad when I apply the brake that I have to alter my driving while stopping to avoid colliding with other vehicles. I have purchased the high heat rotors and ceramic pads to have the best possible parts on the vehicle and it still eats them up too often.
This is the second spark plug in less than 4 months that has blown out of the cylinder head out of our 2001ford Expedition. Please investigate this problem as it is occurring to many people. It is definitely a flaw in design and is costing people too much money to continue to fix. Ford has been no help. As the last time, while driving the spark plug just blows through the cylinder head on a vehicle that has been impeccably maintained.
Consumer states that there is a pedal control button on the dashboard right where the left knee comes into contact with the dashboard. As a result, inadvertent pressure from the knee can cause unintentional acceleration or deceleration depending on how the button is pushed. Consumer recommends that these pedal adjustment switch be relocated to another spot on the dash where the left knee cannot inadvertently affect the control.
