Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 FORD F150 5.4 SUPER CREW WHITE THE SPARK PLUG NUMBER FIVE BLEW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY ON OUR WAY HOME! I WAS WITH MY WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT SCARED US IT WAS A VERY LOUD NOISE IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT THEN THE MOTOR STARTED TO SHAKE AND MIS FIRE WE SMELT GAS AND AS THE TRUCK WAS LOOSING POWER I HAD MY WIFE WHO WAS DRIVING PULL OFF THE ROAD ON TO THE SIDE THEN WE CALLED THE TOW TRUCK THEN WE HAD IT TOWED HOME! THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER STATED THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HE HAS SEEN ALOT AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IT CAN START ON FIRE AND WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR IN A CRASH BECAUSE OF IT THANK GOD WE NOT! HE ALSO STATED THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BUT FORD IS TOO CHEAP AND DON'T CARE ABOUT PEOPLE THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY! I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IF NOT RECALLED AND I WANT TO HAVE IT FIXED! I HAVE LOOKED INTO THIS ON LINE AND SEE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO FEEL THE SAME WAY SINCE IT HAPPENED TO THEM TOO! *TR
