Sorry to hear about your plug change. I watched that video and it scared the crap out of me. This situation sucks a$$
+1 I only have about 8500 miles on mine and I know I should try to pull them and put anti-seize on them but Im just too damn scared. I mean it seems to me that the dealer charges about as much as the plugs and the cost of the tool in case of breakage. I mean I would probably save money in the long end if I did them my self, but my luck one would break off in the worst spot imaginable and I would have to have it towed to the dealer so they could take the head off to get it out!!! I think I will just pay the dealer and not stress over it when the time comes.

I'm still running the stock plugs at 106,000 miles . One dealer said that I'd be responsible if "they" broke a plug doing the job. He said then it would cost "me" like 2 grand or something. Needless to say, they didn't do my plugs.
I will search for a new dealer. Would it be their problem if they break a plug even if the car isn't under warranty?

Yeah man. I've changed plugs on cars I don't know how many times. When I orginally bought this car I thought "Great, they're right on top, piece of cake." Now I don't know if I should pull them now with 4,800 miles or what until 100,000 and let Ford do it. Once again, this sucks a$$.

One thing I'm sure of. You should NOT pull them at 4800 miles. They have anti seize on them from the factory. I myself wouldn't even think about it untill 40000 miles. Why bother and loose sleep over it?

I would think the dealer would be responsible if they broke one. Whether it was under warrenty or not. I would expect them to foot the bill.....they're the dealer.

Thats exactly what I believe, I am paying trained professionals to do a job, and if they ended up breaking a plug or anything else for that matter it should definitely be there responsiblity to replace it. I mean if one of the mechanics actually said to me, "Well I got all but one plug out which broke off, so I'm gonna have to go ahead and charge you extra to repair it." I would definitely have to freak out on he/she for telling me that I have to pay for something they screwed up.
