Consumer Description

MY 20002 FORD F-350 V10 PICKUP TRUCK BLEW OUT A SPARK PLUG. THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT, I REPLACED IT AND THE COIL FOR $120.00. TWO DAYS LATER IT BLEW OUT AGAIN THIS TIME WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON A MAIN ROAD, THE TRUCK DIED IN THE STREET FROM 40 MPH TO ZERO IN NO TIME AT ALL. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED MY A VERY LARGE 18 WHEELER CARRYING A LARGE EXCAVATING MACHINE . LUCKILY HE HAD ROOM TO PASS ME ON MY LEFT ,BEFORE ANY DAMAGED WAS DONE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS. THERE HAS BEEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THEIR SPARK PLUGS BLOWN OUT OF THE CYLINDER WALLS , DUE TO FAULTY THREADINGS IN THE CYLINDER WALL. WHEN WILL FORD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR, WHEN SOMEONE DIES. *NM
