Consumer Description

FORD 5.4L SPARK PLUGS. I JUST EXPERIENCED MY THIRD BLOWOUT. LUCKILY, I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND DID UNPLUG THE FUEL INJECTOR. SOMEONE LESS KNOWLEDGEABLE MAY HAVE DRIVEN THEIR VEHICLE AND WITH UNBURNED GASOLINE PUMPING ONTO A HOT ENGINE, WITH THE BLOWNOUT SPARK PLUG NEAR BY, THUS CAUSING A FIRE, OR WORSE AN EXPLOSION. IT IS MY RECOMMENDATION THAT FORD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE CYLINDER HEADS ON THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES, AT THEIR EXPENSE, WITH THEIR NEWLY REDESIGNED CYLINDER HEADS. IF THE CYLINDER HEADS WERE NOT DEFECTIVE, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE REDESIGNED THEM!!! DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE IN A SERIOUS AUTOMOBILE FIRE, BEFORE THEY ARE FORCED TO RECTIFY THEIR PROBLEM? IF THEY CAN ASK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO BAIL THEM OUT, THEY CAN STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE MESS THEY HAVE CREATED. *TR
