Consumer Description

SPARK PLUG (#3) BLOWN OUT OF A 5.4 L V8 TRITON FORD ENGINE. 2,000.00 MILES PAST WARRANTY(100,000) HAS ALREADY COST 1,450 AND TRUCK IS STILL BROKEN DOWN. FORD RECOMMENDING AN ENGINE TEAR DOWN WHICH WILL MOST LIKELY COST MORE THAN THE TRUCK'S WORTH. I AM NOTICING THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON FORD PROBLEM, I AM WONDERING WHY THE ALUMINUM HEAD HASN'T BEEN RECALLED? THE EXPLOSION FROM THE EJECTING SPARK PLUG HAS DAMAGED THE #3 CYLINDER AND MY ENGINE MIGHT NEED TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED. THIS AS WE KNOW IS VERY COSTLY AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ONLY WORTH 10K FOR TRADE IN, RUNNING IT IS HARD TO KNOW WHAT TO DO. I HOPE THIS MAKES ITS WAY TO SOMEONE WHO CAN CHANGE SOMETHING BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON AND PRICEY PROBLEM. *JB
