Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING TO MYRTLE BEACH I HEARD A LOUD BANG UNDER THE HOOD.I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A FORD DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD.I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE WHEN THIS HAPPENS.FORD SAID THEY WILL DO NOTHING AND IT WILL COST ME 3600.00 TO FIX THIS. WHO SAYS EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE HEAD IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. I AM DISGUSTED WITH THE WHOLE THING. I THINK FORD SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM.
