Went to start my car yesterday and it exploded with a large puff of black smoke! Seems that the the my spark plug exploded out of the engine. The head in the motor is aluminum and the threads are bad. I checked on Google and of course Ford motors are very popular for this this problem! BEWARE of FORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will NEVER buy FORD again!
