This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2002 Ford Crown Victoria. While driving between 55-60 mph on normal road conditions, the vehicle began to hesitate and vibrate. In addition, the check engine warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel and remained lit until the engine was turned off. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing and stated that there was an internal coil shortage. The misfire cylinder 5, coil pack, and spark plugs were replaced in the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on a separate occasion for the identical failure and the misfire cylinder 7, coil pack, and spark plugs were replaced at that time. The failure mileage was 67,425 and current mileage was 68,045. Updated 03-27-09 updated 03/31/09.
Just cruising through a parking lot on my way into work and had a spark plug blowout. Damaged the spark plug coil as well. Had to buy a new coil, and a helicoil kit to re-tap the spark plug hole.
