Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY TRUCK UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT I WOULDN'T NEED TO DO A MAJOR TUNEUP UNTIL 100,000 MILES. PRIOR TO THAT, I HAD TO GET ONE AT 60,000 MILES, 3-5 MONTHS AFTER THAT ONE OF MY SPARK PLUGS SHOT OUT OF THE MOTOR, LEADING TO HAVING TO HAVE THE HEAD REPLACE. I RECEIVED NO REASONABLE EXPLANATION ON WHAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THAT OR WHY WOULD IT HAPPENED. THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD WANTED TO CHARGE ME 3,600 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH A FORD F150 OR HAD THERE BEEN SOME KIND OF RECALL? IF SO, IS THERE SOME KIND OF LEGAL ACTION I CAN TAKE AGAINST FORD FOR THIS . *TR
