Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1999 FORD F150 WITH JUST OVER 60,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED VERY WELL AND HAS HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL NOW. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON 9/20/05, MY ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT BLEW UP. WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED WAS MY #3 CYLINDER SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT. THANKFULLY IT DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. AFTER INVESTIGATING HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM I LEARNED THIS WAS BECOMING VERY COMMON WITH FORD TRITON MOTORS AND WOULD COST APPX $3000 TO REPAIR. FORD OFFERED NO HELP OTHER THEN FOR ME TO BRING IT IN FOR THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR, WITH NO GUARANTEE IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I THOUGHT THE TRUCK WOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THEN 60K MILES AND FEEL LIKE I BOUGHT A LEMON. *NM
