Consumer Description

I OWN A 2002 F-250 SD TRUCK WHICH HAS THE 5.4 TRITON ENGINE IN IT. ON SEPTEMBER 28,2007, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE # 3 SPARK PLUG EJECTED OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD IN WHICH STRIPPED ALL THE THREADS IN THE CYLINDER HEAD AND THE SPARK PLUG. I HAVE THE SPARK PLUG. I AM HAVING THE PROBLEM REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT AUTO SHOP. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS SITUATION AND FOUND THIS HAS HAPPENED ALOT FROM 1998 TO 2003. THE PLUGS ARE TAPERED AND THE PLUGS HAVE 12 THREADS , BUT ONLY 4 THREADS ARE THE CYLINDER HEAD WHICH MEANS THAT THE SPARK PLUG IS ONLY HELD BY 4 THREADS. I BELIEVE FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS AN ENGINEERING FLAW AND SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIRS. *TR UPDATED 02-13-08 *BF UPDATED 02/13/08 *TR
