Consumer Description

DRIVING HOME FROM DOCTOR VISIT, HEARD A LOUD POP, AND LOST POWER, VERY LOUD ENGINE NOISE AS IF I HAD NO EXHAUST. MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT APPARENTLY THE ENGINE BLEW OUT A SPARK PLUG MAKING IT NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE CYLINDER HEAD SINCE IT STEPPED THE TREADS. AND ALSO BROKE THE COIL. AM ON DISABILITY AND FIXED INCOME, THE REPAIR COST IS SO HIGH I HAVE TO WAIT AND BE WITHOUT A CAR. DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND FORD. AND I RESEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND OUT THAT MANY OTHERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. FURTHERMORE WHEN GOING TO FORD FOR REPAIR, THEY SAY THAT THE NEW HEAD IS A IMPROVED VERSION. SO IF IT IS AN "IMPROVED" VERSION THAT MEAN THAT THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PRODUCT TO BEGIN WITH. FORD SHOULD REPLACE THE FAULTY HEADS AT NO COST TO VEHICLE OWNER. *TR
