| Had a p/m check done on my vehicle by my mechanic. during the check,he informed me that the ignition coil for cylinder 5 was going out. he advised that this was common. he also adv that he needed to replace the spark plug but he did not want to until i check info on the 9/16 plug on-line. this plug has history of breaking (design flaw- carbon fusing/replacement mc plugs have been redesigned) based on info in various forums. the plug did break during extraction requiring additional work/expense. called a local ford dealer service mgr who advised he was unaware of that happening before 80k mls. an email to ford revealed that they are unaware of any problems/recalls or tsb (which do exist). in other words, they will not do anything. i am now worried about plugs breaking during scheduled tune resulting in additional expense even at ford dealer .(as per comments on line forum) this is clearly a design flaw w/ motorcraft plugs and they know it (tsb's) can you help? | |||
