Consumer Description

WE HAVE A F250 2001 V10 PICKUP THAT HAS HAD 2 SPARK PLUG EJECTION FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE HEAD OF THE ENGINE. THIS WE WERE TOLD BY THE MECHANICS AT OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER SHOP AT OUR 2 DIFF FORD DEALERS IS INHERENT IN ALL TRITON MOTORS. THIS HEAD PROBLEM SHOULD BE AA SAFETY RECALL. WHEN THE SECOND ONE HAPPENED WE WERE 200 MILES FROM HOME AND HAD TO SMELL GAS FUMES FOR 200 MILES TO GET IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO GET IT REPAIRED. LUCKILY THE SPARK PLUG HAD BEEN EJECTED FROM THE COIL ASSEMBLY IF IT HAD STAYED ON IT WOULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE. THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE CYLINDER HEAD AND FROM THE MANY MECHANICS THAT I HAVE SPOKEN TO THEY ALL STATE IT IS FROM ONLY 2 OR 3 THREADS PER SPARK PLUG HOLDING THE PLUGS IN PLACE. PLEASE RECALL ALL TRITION MOTORS TO HAVE THIS TAKEN CARE OF. *TR
