Consumer Description

ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 14, 2008 I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 FORD F-250 WITH A 5.4 LITER ENGINE AND I HEARD A LOUD POP WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY A LOSS OF POWER AND A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A LARGE EXHAUST LEAK. WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD I NOTICED ONE OF THE SPARK PLUGS HAD BLOWN OUT OF THE HEAD AND HAD BROKEN THE COIL, RIPPED THE SPARK PLUG BOOT AND STRIPPED THE HEAD. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 1 1/2 YEARS THAT I HAVE HAD A SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT OF THE HEAD. (THESE WERE TWO DIFFERENT SPARK PLUGS). THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR AND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP ME AND THEN TRIED TO SELL ME A NEW VEHICLE INSTEAD OF FIXING THE ONE I HAVE. *TR
