Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, A SPARK PLUG WAS EJECTED FROM MY 2002 FORD F-250 5.4L V8 PICKUP TRUCK, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL AND RESULTING IN A LOSS OF POWER FOR STEERING AND BRAKING. I'M TOLD BY MY MECHANIC TODAY, WHO IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM EVEN BEFORE I TOLD HIM WHY I WAS THERE, THAT THIS IS DUE TO A KNOWN DEFECT WITH MANY FORD ENGINES, BUT THAT NO RECALL WAS EVER ISSUED. GIVEN THE DANGER OF FUEL VAPORS ESCAPING FROM THE SPARK PLUG HOLE AND RISK OF FIRE, PERHAPS THE NHTSA SHOULD PRESS FORD ON THE ISSUE IF IT REALLY IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR
