| The dealership claims that ford has been experiencing problems with spark plugs just blowing out of the heads in newer ford vehicles. this causes the coil on top of the spark to shatter against the hood of the vehicle and the injectors continue to pump fuel into the cylinder. the coil is producing random sparking to any ground it can find. if a person didn't stop immediately, this condition might likely cause an engine fire.*ak | |||
