We were experiencing stalls and overall sluggishness and took it to a mechanic who told us we needed a tune up. My husband usually does minor upkeep, thanked the man and was about to take our truck home when the mechanic informed us that the plugs were a bear to change since we would need a special tool and chances are, the plugs would break off. We were skeptical but trusted him to do the job. It cost so much and took so long, we bought a beater car in the interim so we could get to work! And it cost over $1000...for a tune up!!! It looks like ford knows full well about this built in money maker since I see we are in good company with many owners complaining about the exact same issue. Shame on ford.
