Consumer Description

2001 FORD F-250 SD 6.8L V-10, SPARK PLUG ON THE NUMBER EIGHT CYLINDER BLEW OUT OF THE HEAD WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 15-20 MPH. THE THREADS ON THE CYLINDER HEAD ARE NON-EXISTENT AT THIS POINT, THE COIL WAS DESTROYED, AND THE VEHICLE IS UNDRIVABLE. AFTER RESEARCHING, I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM ON SEVERAL MODELS FROM FORD. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AWAITING INSPECTION AND REPAIR BY A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE SERVICE WRITER THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT THAT FORD WILL NOT PROVIDE A COVERED REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IF THE HEAD IS REPAIRABLE WITHOUT REMOVAL FROM THE VEHICLE, THE COST WILL BE APPROX. $750.00 WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL NOT RE-OCCUR. IF THE CYLINDER HEAD MUST BE REMOVED, THE COST IS BETWEEN THREE AND FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS. I WILL BE RETAINING THE OLD PARTS. *TR
