Yesterday I posted "Lost Acceleration", today the dealer told me my car did spit out a spark plug. He said he has seen these cars lose plugs, usually at 90 K mi, not 58K. Evidently the plug became loose and blew out of the engine. This causeddamage to the cylinder head which will be replaced tomorrow. The cost is $4000.00, the power train is covered for 5 years or 60 K mi, I have 58 and change. I'm still confused how this could have happened. Moral of the story, check your spark plugs from time to time

 

Im at 58K too ! I will check it next weekend for sure, this is the 2nd thread about this today !

 

With these 100K plugs, you don't even think about plugs for a long time. It does seem odd that he mentions a certain mileage that this happens. But with anything that goes through many heat cycles, loosening is possible.

If periodic maintenance is done by a dealer, I wonder if that is one of the checks?

4 grand to fix, damn......

Regardless, glad to hear it's covered.

 

Thanks, this is good to know. The Mech at the dealers told me 5 yr, 60 k mi. I was under the impression it was 4 yr, 50k mi.

Great info i will have to find this information out i have 55k on my engine.

 

4-years/50k miles is the "bumper-to-bumper" warranty.

Powertrain gets a little extra.
