I own the infamous 1999 ford expedition with the head gasket oil leak. Though i loved this car from the day i purchased it new up until the time at 50,000 miles the oil started to leak.

Ford would only pay for half of the repair, but i believe this should be a recall because of the…

About a year ago the cylinder head gasket on our 1999 ford expedition was replaced due to leaking oil, by the dealership. The mileage was 35,000. Now a year later, while traveling at 70 mph. On the freeway, a spark plug blew out of the same right cylinder. The loud noise and clatter caused a knee jerk response,almost causing an accident. The vehicle's mileage is now only 46,000. We feel that ford should do the…
