“The spark plug exploded from the cylinder head due to a mechanical defect in my cylinder head, and my Expedition is the only vehicle I own which legally fits all of my children in their booster seats. The Ford motor company won't fix the problem unless I pay them $750, which I don't have, and don't believe I should have to pay to fix their defect.”

“My chevy impala few months I filled up with gas all the way and when I go t on the interstate the fuel gauge went down from full to half full of gas . This is very dangerous because no mechanic knows what seems to be the problem and it is very dangerous because I really don't know how much gas I have in the car. It can turn to empty tank in 20 miles of distance . When I add up more gas to it turns back to full. I need a solution. I have a small children and one vehicle to travel from home to work. ..tire complaint on 2001 Ford expediton.. …”
