Driving to town motor backfired and stalled, speed was about 5 MPH. No power steering at the time. Lucky I was pulling up to a traffic light. Mechanic said #4 spark plug blew out of the engine block damaging coil pack and fuel injector. Just bought vehicle not to long ago and now have to spend a small fortune to repair a clear design flaw by ford motor company. They are not going to recall until they are required to. So much for made in USA quality. Now I just hope the vehicle does not catch fire sitting in my driveway!
