Consumer Description

WHILE OUT OF TOWN I HAD JUST EXITED THE INTERSTATE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP.MY TRUCK, A FORD F250 WITH A 5.4 LTR TRITON V8 STARTED RUNNING TERRIBLE AND MAKING A GOD AWFUL NOISE.I MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT.I OPENED THE HOOD TO FIND AN IGNITION COIL PACK AND SPARKPLUG LAYING ON TOP OF THE ENGINE.I WAS ABLE TO REINSTALL THE SPARKPLUG AND REPLACED THE COIL PACK DUE (COIL PACK ATTACHMENT EAR HAD BROKEN OFF WHEN PLUG WAS EJECTED FROM ENGINE.).APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE ON THEIR WAY TO A LOCAL PARK.THEY HAD JUST TURNED OFF A MAJOR STREET WHEN THEY HEARD A LOUD POP,THEY DESCRIBED AS SOUNDING LIKE A GUNSHOT. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND TO DATE I'M SUPRISED THAT A FIRE HAS NOT OCCURED OR NO SERIOUS INJURIES HAVE OCCURED. THIS IS VERY DANAGEROUS THE SPARK PLUG IS ACTUALLY EJECTED LIKE A MISSLE.
