In august 2006, second spark plug blow out. No warning, happened at a stop light. Sudden loud bang startled driver in next lane. Driver swerved and ran two vehicles over the curb. Luckily no injuries or damage. Was in a school zone at a time when children were leaving school. This is a police interceptor. Departments across the nation depend on this type of vehicle to save lives.

My 1998 ford crown victoria police interceptor was purchased from a independent dealer in feb. 2005, michigan. I had no problem until july/august then had problems with the intake manifold leaking coolant. I received no notice of the ford recall and by this time I was told by ford, and a ford lincoln merc. Dealer that my warranty was up three months ago. My whole problem could have been fixed by ford and they refused. Their mistake but my problem now. Is this a fair way to treat a ford customer?
