Consumer Description

SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT ON V10 ENGINE. ONLY HAS 74000 ON THE ENGINE. IN THE OWNERS MANUAL IT STATED THE FIRST MAJOR TUNE UP WASN'T UNTIL 100000. LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WANTED $5000.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SAYS IT WAS VERY COMMON ON THE V10 FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. FORD WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM ,AND THIS DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. WHY WERE A FEW F350 SUPER CREW TRUCKS BLOWING SPARK PLUGS. THEY SAY IT WAS HEAVY DUTY, BUT IT WAS NOT. IF THIS WAS SO COMMON THAT EVEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG WHEN HE PICKED UP THE TRUCK THEN IT MUST BE A DESIGN FLAW FORD SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY WITH OUR 6 YEAR OLD TRIPLETS. SHE BARELY MADE IT TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, AND ALMOST WAS HIT TWICE. FORD WAS LUCKY BECAUSE IF ANYTHING HAD HAPPENED TO MY CHILDREN I WOULD BE IN COURT GETTING LOTS OF MONEY FROM FORD. *AK
