Consumer Description

DRIVING ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR IN MY 2001 FORD EXPEDITION W/ TRITON V8 5.4L WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. VEHICLE WAS VERY LOUD AFTERWARDS BUT STILL DRIVEABLE. HAD TO STAY UNDER 15 MPH TO TURN AROUND AND DRIVE IT THE ONE MILE I HAD ALREADY DRIVEN TO RETURN HOME. GREATER THAN 15 MPH PRODUCED SOUNDS SIMILIAR TO THE SOUND OF AN EXTREMELY LOUD LAWNMOWER. PROBLEM: BLEW A SPARK PLUG. DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE YET BUT FROM WHAT I AM READING ON THE INTERNET, THE REPAIR WILL BE SURE TO DRAIN MY WALLET. AM HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALER TONIGHT TO FIND OUT THE DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE AND MY PURSE.*AK
