Consumer Description

THE #3 SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE ENGINE HEAD. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE ENGINE. BY BLOWING OUT, IT IS A FIRE HAZARD ,AS THE ENGINE STILL PUMPS GAS THROUGH THIS PISTON. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE PROBLEM TO FIX AND FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS BAD HEAD PROBLEM. *TR
