Spark plug ejection when accelerating from a stop. This is the 3rd (third) plug that has blown out in the past year. This is the fourth repair due to the first repair using a "repair kit" that the local dealership recommended to the mechanic. This repair kit and coil pack became overheated and blew our after about 2 months of run time. It sounds like the thin aluminum heads is the source of this problem. Is there any recall or concerns from ford on this problem. I do not think I am alone with this situation.
