Consumer Description

SPARK PLUG EJECTION IN MY 2000 FORD F250 5.4L ENGINE. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN 2 YEARS THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS COMMON WITH THESE ENGINES AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS BY FORD MOTORS. BEFORE THE SPARK PLUG IS EJECTED, THERE IS A LOUD TAPPING SOUND FOLLOWED BY THE EJECTION SHORTLY THEREAFTER. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE BECAUSE FUEL ESCAPES FROM THE HOLE AND CAN BE IGNITED BY THE SPARK PLUG THAT IS STILL ATTACHED TO THE COIL PACK AND FIRING. THIS CAN CAUSE AN ENGINE FIRE AND WORSE. FORD SHOULD BACK UP THEIR PRODUCT AND FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR
