Consumer Description

I OWN A 2001 FORD F150 4.6 LTER AND AT APPROXIMATELY 105,000 MILES #3 SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE HEAD. FORD ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE PLUG AND AGAIN IT BLEW OUT. I FIXED IT WITH A HELICOIL MYSELF AS THE EXPENSE WAS $3000 FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX. RECENTLY WITH 121,000 MILES IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND WHEN THE DEALERSHIP WENT TO REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS THEY DROPPED SOMETHING INTO CYLINDER #7. THE MECHANIC STARTED THE ENGINE AND NOW HAVE AN INOPERABLE VEHICLE THAT THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX.
