Consumer Description

DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IN THE FORD 5.4 ENGINE MY 2002 HARLEY F-150 BLEW A SPARK PLUG LAST WEEKEND (2/15/04). FORD IS ONLY WILLING TO REPLACE THE ONE HEAD WITH THE NEWLY DESIGNED HEAD (AND THAT IS COSTING ME $500 BECAUSE MY TRUCK HAS 40,000 MILES). IT'S A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW AND HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OWERS WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES. FORD NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.
