Driving my 97 Ford Expedition home from work it blew a spark plug and the vehicle only has 76K. Brought it to crowley Ford in plainville, ct. And the plug was repaired for $750. It did not correct the problem. Was told that the engine needed replacing for the price of $5200. This problem is related to poor design. I did my homework. There are several other individuals who have reported the same problem across the country. At this time Ford is not taking any responsibility for this.
