THE #5 SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF CYLINDER HEAD ON MY 2004 FORD ESCAPE WHILE I WAS DRIVING APPROX 30 MPH. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME IN A YEAR (IT HAPPENED 1ST TIME IN AUG 2009). THESE WERE BOTH THE ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALLED SPARK PLUGS, NOT REPLACEMENT PARTS. *TR
2009
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING AROUND 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO DIE.I PULLED OVER AND REALIZED IT WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT WOULD ONLY IDLE AND DID NOT RESPOND TO PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE ABOUT 50 MILES WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT,BUT ENGINE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ON. THE NEXT DAY, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE, AND IT LOST POWER IMMEDIATELY. I RESTARTED IT AND WITHIN DRIVING 5 MILES IT " DIED" OVER 15 TIMES. I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT ONE MORE TIME AND IT REPEATED THE SAME PROBLEM 3 TIMES BEFORE I MADE IT TO THE END OF MY BLOCK..I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT SINCE. *TR
