I OWN A 1999 FORD EXPEDITION AND HAVE NOW HAD 2 SPARK PLUGS EJECT OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD DUE DESTROYING THE COILS OF EACH SPARK PLUG IN THE PROCESS. THIS IS A WIDELY KNOW ISSUE WITH 1997-2000 FORDS, BUT FORD IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. I CALL THE DEALER IN CARLSBAD CALIFORNIA AND WAS QUOTED ALMOST $3000 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS FAILURE AND FORD IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. I FOUND A COMPANY NAMED TIMESERT THAT SELLS A "FORD TRITON SPARK PLUG STEEL INSER KIT" AND PAID OVER $400 FOR THE KIT AND DID THE REPAIRS MYSELF....WHEN A COMPANY LIKE TIMESERT MAKES A KIT SPECIFICALLY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH FORDS IT'S HARD NOT TO BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM HERE THAT FORD NEEDS TO CORRECT. *JB

WHILE DRIVING/IDLING, SMOKE WOULD COME OUT FROM THE DRIVER SIDE TAILLIGHTS COMPARTMENT. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE CAUSE WAS NOT DETERMINED. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. *NM THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT OFFER TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE NOR LOOK INTO WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER OPENED THE TRUNK AND SAW SMOKE AND FIRE AROUND THE LOCK AREA. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. THE WIRES AND PLASTIC INSERT AND BULB THAT LIGHTS UP LICENSE PLATE WAS THE CAUSE. *TC
