| I currently own a meticulously maintained 2001 ford e150 van with a 4.6 liter motor. i have approx 78000 miles on vehicle, and recently started having spark plug issues. to make a long story short changing the spark plugs with aluminum heads can possibly ruin my van due to the plugs blowing out of the heads. at this time i'm not in a position to by a new vehicle due to something as simple and basic as a spark plug. due to the location of motor in van the repair is costly and time consuming. the more research i do with this issue i feel this is a huge design flaw. *tr | |||
| SEAT BELTS | |||
| 06/01/2007 | 25000 | 1 | |
| The outer covers of all the seatbelts in the 3rd row have all fractured resulting in the inability to latch any of the seatbelts. . this sounds very similar to the ford escape recall 03v507000. when the rear of casing fractured, the inner part of the seatbelt moved within the casing resulting in the inability to latch the seatbelt. attempts at repair were unsuccessful. *tr | |||
