Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1999 FORD F-150, 5.4L V-8 TRITON. IT HAS SPIT THE NUMBER EIGHT SPARK PLUG TWICE, AND NOW THE NUMBER SEVEN PLUG HAS BEEN EJECTED MULTIPLE TIMES. LUCKILY, MY WIFE AND KIDS WEREN'T WITH ME WHEN THESE EVENTS HAPPENED. AFTER THE FIRST TIME, AND MUCH READING AND RESEARCH, AND THE FACT THAT YOUR OFFICE WILL NOT GET INVOLVED WITH THIS WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THEM IN MY TRUCK. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME, IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED ALREADY, THE COIL PACK OR SPARK PLUG WILL BE EJECTED RIGHT INTO THE FUEL RAIL AND THE COIL PACK WILL STILL BE SPARKING AND CAUSE A FIRE. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOURS AND FORDS HELP WITH THIS, AS I AM A DISABLED VET ON A FIXED INCOME AND CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT THIS TIME; SO MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR OVER TWO MONTHS. MAYBE SOME DAY SOMEONE WILL REALIZE THE DANGERS HERE AND HELP US! *TR
