Consumer Description

I OWN A FORD F 250 SUPER DUTY PICKUP WITH THE 5.4L MOTOR AND WHILE DRIVING, THE SPARK PLUG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, #3, BLEW OUT OF THE SOCKET AREA. I WAS FORCED TO HAVE A FORD DEALERSHIP REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND NOW HAVE HAD A SECOND, FOLLOW UP INCIDENT, WITH THE SAME CYLINDER, RESULTING FROM THE ORIGINAL REPAIR. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE MOTORS (AMONG OTHER CHRONIC PROBLEMS) AND NOTICED THAT CALIFORNIA IS NOW PAVING THEY WAY TO SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION. THE DEALER EVEN TOLD ME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED IN OTHER TRUCKS. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS FAIRLY WIDESPREAD. I WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED IN ANY ACTION ON BEHALF OF VEHICLE OWNERS THAT WOULD ELIMINATE THE ISSUE AND REFUND MONIES SPENT ON REPAIRS. *JB
