Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 FORD F-250 WITH A TRITON V10 ENGINE WHEN I WAS DRIVING I HAD A SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT OF THE ENGINE BLOCK AND WAS LAYING ON TOP OF THE ENGINE SPARKING. I HAVE SENT AN EMAIL TO FORD AND WHEN THEY REPLIED TO ME THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT AND THAT IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. WELL I MY SELF FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THERE IS AN OPEN SPARK ON TOP OF THE ENGINE SPARKING NEXT TO THE FUEL LINE. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS TOPIC FOR A LONG TIME HOPING THAT IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN TO ME WELL IT HAS HAPPENED AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK NOW THAT I SEE THAT THERE IS A SPARK NEXT TO A FUEL LINE. II REALLY HOPE THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT HAVE TO DIE FROM THIS DEFECTIVE ALUMINUM HEAD THAT FORD USES ON THESE ENGINES TO PROVE THAT IT IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE. NOT TO MENTION THAT THERE ARE FORD OWNERS ALL AROUND THE WORLD THAT ARE HAVING TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS NOT AT ALL THEIR FAULT. *TR
