I own a 1999 Lincoln Navigator (Ford engine 5.4L DOHC) only 52000 miles. The spark plug #4 blow out of the engine while driving on the highway. I've seen many of the Ford expedigion and Lincoln Navigator owners experience this same issue. There is obviously a default with there engine for these models and thus should be recalled.
