Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON I-75 IN MICHIGAN, I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE. AFTER DRIVING TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP I LEARNED THAT THE 3RD SPAR KPLUG ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAD BLOWN OUT OF THE HEAD, AND THE COIL HAD MELTED. I'M BEING QUOTED $2100 ON THE REPAIR RIGHT NOW, AND TRYING TO TRADE IT IN, AFTER LOOKING AT THE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN POSTED THROUGH HERE. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL GET SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED FOR RECALL. *AK
