I had the cruise set at about 75 mph and was in the middle of nowhere on the interstate when a spark plug blew out. It was the middle one in the front. The 90 mile tow was $500 - my fault for not having towing on my insurance. Our mechanic fixed it with a helicoil - he said there were enough threads left so it should work and I wouldn't need a new head. The repair and new plugs came to about $450. He said some of the other plugs were "loose" and installed new ones. He said he's only seen this happen on Honda and Ford motors. Anyway, you might want to get them checked!
