Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 F350 FORD TRUCK, I WAS DRIVING ALONG WHEN I HEARD THIS BIG POP NOISE WITH SHAKING I STOP AND SMELLED GAS ,I SHUT IT OFF OPEN THE HOOD AND THE MOTOR WAS STARTING TO CATCH ON FIRE,NEEDLESS TO SAY THE SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT HIT THE COIL AND FUEL LINE WHICH RUPTURED IT AND CAUSED THE FIRE. IF THIS HAD BEEN MY WIFE OR ONE OF MY KIDS DRIVING IT THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED. I THINK FORD SHOULD STEP UP AND RECALL THERE PROBLEMS THAT THEY NO THEY HAVE AND FIX THEM BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT OR WORSE KILLED,THIS ISN'T RIGHT THAT THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS KNOWING WHAT CAN HAPPEN,THEY SAID I CAUSED IT,HOW DID I DO THAT WHEN HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE IT'S TO LATE ! THANKS THEY FIXED IT AND IT DONE IT AGAIN. *TR
