Consumer Description

HELP! SPARK PLUGS #3 AND #5 HAVE BLOWN IN MY FORD 2002 F250 SINCE THE BEGINNING OF 2011. THESE FAILURES HAVE HAPPENED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS CAUSING ME TO LOOSE POWER ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND NARROWLY AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT WHILE TRYING TO NAVIGATE MY WAY THROUGH TRAFFIC TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS FAILURE HAPPENS FREQUENTLY TO A LARGE NUMBER OF FORD VEHICLE OWNERS. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT NHTSA HAS DENIED ANY FURTHER ACTION AGAINST FORD. I FIND THIS DENIAL QUESTIONABLE WITH THE VAST NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING OVER AND OVER. MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS WAS JEOPARDIZED ON BOTH OCCASIONS THAT MY PLUGS BLEW OUT OF THEIR SOCKETS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE! *TR
