Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE EXCURSION AT A SPEED AROUND 35 MPH, HEARD A VERY LOAD POP NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND LOST POWER FROM THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED TO A STOP. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR TROUBLE SHOOTING PURPOSE. THEY TOLD ME THE NUMBER 7 SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT FROM THE HEAD. THE FIX WAS EITHER A HELI-COIL OR A NEW HEAD. THE HELICOIL COST WAS 900 DOLLARS AND THE HEAD WAS 4500 DOLLARS. READING THIS SITE AND MANY MORE THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF SIZES FROM FORD MOTORS WITH THE SPARK PLUG BLOWING OUT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WILL TAKE FOR A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I GUESSNOTHING GETS DONE UNTIL SOMEBODY IS KILLED. *TR
