I went to the dealership (soutar's ford in barstow, ca) twice with an issue of hesitation and stumbling problems. I had 75,000 before having this problem. They replaced all coils with springs and spark plugs, charged my warranty company and myself for each visit. I went on a 700 mile trip to new mexico, after 100 miles or so I still had the same problems of hesitation and stumbling, then I break down 88 miles,from flagstaff,az. Babbit ford identified that a spark plug was ejected from the 3rd cylinder head. They replaced the spark plug and coil with spring and charged my warranty and myself $644 and $195. They didn't identify and issues with my cylinder head and reinserted the replacement spark plug and coil. I drove the veh back home only to identify I still have the same problem I went in for the first time, hesitations and stumbling. All this happened in a 2 week time period. I'm now told by my original dealer that the heads and valves should have been replaced because of compression sticking issues.

They did not intend to do anything else to investigate. I insisted they escalate issue to manufacturer on 3/21/04. I await any word. Lack of injuries and damage are purely luck!
