Consumer Description

#3 SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT WHILE TRAVELING AWAY FROM HOME IN ANOTHER STATE. IN DRIVING TWO MILES BACK TO MY SON'S HOUSE, I HAD TWO EXPLOSIONS FROM EXCESS GASOLINE AND SPARK PLUG FIRING. THE SPARK PLUGS WERE ORIGINAL AND BLEW OUT BECAUSE OF THE FINE THREADS AND ALUMINUM CYLINDER HEADS. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT AND SAFETY PROBLEM KNOWN TO FORD. TOWING AND INSERT INSTALLATION BY A FORD DEALER WAS $950. THE ENGINE IS A 4.6 V-8 UPDATED 05/17/12 *BF
