Owner report 10806727 · 2015-11-25 (November 25, 2015)
SPARK PLUG BLOWN. THIS HAPPENED IN MOTION ON HWY 87 IN BRIDGE CITY TEXAS. HAD IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE AND WHEN ADDED A NEW SPARK PLUG IT WOULD ONLY GO IN 2 OR 3 THREADS. WORRIED IT MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE. I HAVE 86000 ORIGINAL MILES ON THIS CAR AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AFTER 5 YEARS. I THINK THAT IS CRAP. THIS HAPPENED 11/23/15 AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND I'M NOT THE ONLY LINCOLN WITH THIS PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD RECALL IT.
