the local ford dealer just told me that my #3 cylinder misfire issue is related to the coil pack. There are 8 of them instead of the normal wires that attach to the spark plugs. The cost to replace the one bad one is $250. My mileage is low but my warranty ended 2 months ago so it is not covered and I dont think it would be anyway.
So i called Ford customer service to complain the cost is too high and there was nothing they could do. I found alot of ford owners with similar experiences online. I mentioned this to Ford customer service. Their suggestion is to let other owners know they should be calling ford headquarters to make them aware of the issue. Also save receipts so that if there is a future recall you may be entitled to a refund.
So if anyone out there reads this and knows of someone who has had this issue, I say flood ford with your complaints so issues like this can be owned up to by ford and they can do the right thing by the consumer.
