Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, I HEARD THIS LOUD POP SOUND. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING, WERE MULTIPLE POPPING SOUNDS, SO I PULLED INTO THE IMMEDIATE PARKING LOT ON MY RIGHT TO TAKE A LOOK. UPON EXAMINING THE ENGINE, I DISCOVERED THAT THE 3RD SPARK PLUG WAS BLOWN OUT. HAD TO GET A RIDE TO NAPA TO GET MORE SPARK PLUGS. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT TRYING TO REPLACE IT (BEING THE MECHANICALLY INCLINED PERSON THAT I AM) I REALIZE THAT I HAD A BIGGER PROBLEM ON MY HANDS. THE THREADS ARE SHOT AND WILL NOW HAVE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A NEARBY FACILITY FOR REPAIRS THAT ARE ESTIMATED BETWEEN $1500 TO $2000 (CONSERVATIVELY).*AK
