Engine · at 86,003 miles · reported Nov 25, 2015

Spark plug blown. This happened in motion on hwy 87 in bridge city texas. Had it towed to my house and when added a new spark plug it would only go in 2 or 3 threads. Worried it might catch on fire. I have 86000 original miles on this car and the dealership is telling me the warranty expired after 5 years. I think that is crap. This happened 11/23/15 and I don't have the money to fix it. I have done some research and I'm not the only lincoln with this problem. They should recall it.
