Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD TWO (2) SPARK PLUGS BLOW FROM MY ENGINE ON TWO (2) SEPARATE OCCASIONS (1999 FORD F250 WITH 5.4 LITRE V8 WITH 150,000 KM'S). I'M NOT GETTING ANY COOPERATION FROM MY DEALER AND IN THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE ON THE NET, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL MODELS AND ENGINES. BOTH TIMES THE DEALER HAS REPAIRED IT WITH A "HEALY COIL" AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $560 PLUS TOWING COSTS. VERY DANGEROUS AS GAS IS EJECTED INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. IT APPEARS THAT FORD HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL BULLETIN TO THEIR DEALERS AND THE SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE CYLINDER HEAD. OK IF YOU ARE UNDER WARRANTY. IT WILL COST YOU APPROXIMATELY $3500 IN CANADA TO FIX FORD'S DEFECTIVE PART IF YOU AREN'T. *TR
