Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 FORD F-150 WITH 195,000 MILES ON IT ,.. I AM THE THIRD OWNER AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL NOW.. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD DISTURBING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT,.. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF IMMEDIATELY,.. I OPENED THE HOOD AND DID NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG, SO I STARTED IT BACK UP AND THE SAME NOISE COULD BE HEARD,.. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND COULD SEE A SPARK BY WHERE A SPARK PLUG WOULD BE,.. I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND INVESTIGATED A LITTLE BIT,.. I NOTICED THAT THE COIL WAS OFF AND THE SPARK PLUG WAS LAYING BY THE VALVE COVER,... I HAD TO CALL MY BROTHER TO HAUL THE TRUCK HOME SINCE I KNEW THAT DRIVING IT LIKE THAT COULD CAUSE ENGINE PROBLEMS,.. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, I FOUND THAT SPARK PLUGS POPPING OUT OF THEIR HOLES IS KIND OF A COMMON THING FOR FORD TRITON ENGINES. WHY HAS THIS ISSUE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY YET,... I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT TIT FOR QUIT SOME TIME AND HAVEN'T BEEN FORCED TO FIX THE PROBLEM SO THEY PROBABLY WONT SEND OUT A RECALL FOR THIS... WHAT CAN B E DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM !!! *TR
