Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F-250 WITH A TRITON 5.4 LITER ENGINE. I WENT OUT TO START THE TRUCK AND HEARD A LOUD BOOM AND THEN THE TRUCK SOUNDED LIKE I HAD LOST THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. AS IT TURNS OUT THE ENGINE PRESSURE BLEW A SPARK PLUG OUT OF THE HEAD AND ALSO BROKE THE COIL PACK ON TOP OF IT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET IT SEEMS THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM YET FORD HAS NOT OFFERED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BLAMING IT ON MANY ISSUES THAT SIMPLY DO NOT MAKE SENSE. THE GOVERNMENT TO THIS POINT HAS ALSO NOT FORCED A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WHICH I FIND VERY DISHEARTENING AS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. NOT EVERYONE DRIVING A TRUCK IS A MECHANIC AND MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM COULD LEAD TO A MAJOR FIRE OR EXPLOSION IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. *TR
