Consumer Description

THE # 7 SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF MY 2001 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY (5.4L ENGINE). IT COST $1761.61 FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE PLUGS WERE ORIGINAL FROM THE FACTORY. THERE WAS 74254 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND FORD DOES NOT RECOMMEND PLUGS UNTIL 100,000 MI. FURTHER RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE AND FORD DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR CO. AND GOT A SIMILAR RESPONSE. THIS CAN BE A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM IF THE PLUG DAMAGES THE FUEL LINES AND STARTS A FIRE. I WAS LUCKY TO NOT HAVE THIS HAPPEN THIS TIME, BUT I HAVE AT LEAST 7 MORE CHANCES FOR THIS TO OCCUR. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD LIABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP!! I SEE BY THE NEXT QUESTIONS THAT A DEATH MIGHT GET RESULTS. I HOPE THIS IS NOT THE CASE. *NM
