Consumer Description

5.4L FORD TRITON ENGINE SPARK PLUGS WERE CHANGED AT 84,000, AT 110,128 SPARK PLUG ON #7 CYLINDER CAME LOOSE AND BLEW OUT. FUEL AIR MIXTURE COMES OUT THE SPARK PLUG HOLE WHICH IS DANGEROUS(HAS BEEN KNOWN TO START ENGINE FIRES). THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT IN THE ALUMINUM HEADS NOT HAVING ENOUGH THREADS TO KEEP THE SPARK PLUG TIGHT. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT FORD IS NOT PAYING FOR WHEN IT IS A POOR DESIGN WITH THE POTENTIAL OF IT CONTINUING TO HAPPEN AGAIN ON ANOTHER CYLINDER. *TR
