Consumer Description

AT 90,000 MILES AFTER MY FIRST "TUNE UP" I BLEW A SPARK PLUG OFF OF MY HEAD ON MY 2000 FORD EXCURSION. I WAS TOLD BY MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT FORD'S IN THIS YEAR RANGE HAVE BEEN STREAMING INTO HIS SHOP WITH BLOWN SPARK PLUGS. I ALSO STATED THAT FORD IS REFUSING TO RECOGNIZE THIS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO GET INVOLVED. PLEASE TAKE THIS COMPLAINT SERIOUSLY. MY WIFE AND 5 KIDS WERE IN THE CAR IN A UNKNOWN AREA TO THEM AT 10:00PM WHEN THIS BREAKDOWN OCCURRED. THIS STORY IS VERY SIMILAR TO 1000'S OF OTHER STORIES ON THE INTERNET. JUST TYPE IN "BLEW A SPARK PLUG" INTO A SEARCH ENGINE AND START READING. *JB
