Consumer Description

SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT ON MY 2002 F150, 5.4L,V8, FORD PICKUP. MILEAGE AT TIME OF THE INCIDENT,46337. WHILE TURNING RIGHT AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, I HEARD A LOUD POP. THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND CONTINUED TO POP VERY LOUD. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. I KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BECAUSE MY BROTHERS 2001, F150, 5.4L, V8, FORD PICKUP, MILEAGE APROX.103000 HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HAS A NEW HEAD WITH 8 THREADS INSTEAD OF 4, BUT CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAILURE. MY TRUCK IS A THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT IS COVERING THE REPLACEMENT OF "ONE" HEAD. I AM PAYING FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE OTHER HEAD. I THINK IT IS TOTALLY WRONG TO REPLACE ONLY ONE HEAD WHEN THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME DEFECT!!*JB
