Consumer Description

MY 2000 FORD F-150 WITH 5.4 TRIDENT ENGINE BLEW A SPARK PLUG OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD. I HAD NO PROBLEMS BEFORE THIS. I UNDERSTAND THIS HAPPENS TO HUNDREDS OF 5.4 ENGINES. THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS DEFECT. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS MOTOR?I CANNOT AFFORD THE $3000.00 REPAIR BILL. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
