Consumer Description

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND HEARD A LOUD BANG AND FELT THE MOTOR STARTING TO SHAKE AND LOSS OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION, I HAVE NOTICED THE COIL PACK OF MY 2001 FORD F-150 SITTING ON TOP OF THE MOTOR. I HAVE REPLACED TWO COIL PACKS TWICE EACH. IT IS GETTING COSTLY TO REPAIR AS IT COSTS $50 PER COIL PACK. I HAVE RETAPPED THE HOLES BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS OCCURRING. I AM A DIVORCED FATHER OF A 2 YEAR OLD SON. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP REPAIRING THE PROBLEM. *TR
