Consumer Description

AFTER MAKING A COMPLETE STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT I MADE A LEFT TURN AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP WHICH AT FIRST I THOUGHT WAS A TIRE BLOW OUT. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING SO ERRATICALLY THAT I COULD FEEL IT IN MY STEERING. WE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE FOR A FLAT WHEN WE NOTICED EVERY TIRE WAS FINE. I OPENED THE HOOD AND REMOVED THE TOP COVER TO THE ENGINE TO DISCOVER A SPARK PLUG LAYING ON TOP OF THE ENGINE AND THE COIL THAT WAS ONCE ATTACHED BLOWN OFF OF THE PLUG AND DAMAGED OFF TO THE SIDE STILL CONNECTED TO ITS ELECTRICAL SOURCE. THIS COLD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE. FOR THE RECORD THESE PLUGS WERE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SPARK-PLUGS. VIA THE INTERNET I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS WEBSITE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. *TR
