While driving my 2001 ford expedition with a 5.4 liter engine, the spark plug blew out of the head and damaged it. The vehicle has been well kept and from some research i have found that this is a very common problem with the ford engines. I feel it needs to be investigated, if this is a recurring problem there needs to be a recall or ford should pay for repairs. Repair cost apx. 3,700.00. *jb
