Consumer Description
ACCORDING TO THE MODEL YEAR FORD F150 MAINTENANCE MANUAL, SPARK PLUGS ARE TO BE CHANGED EVERY 100,000MI. JUST PRIOR TO THIS MILEAGE FOR REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF THE SPARK PLUGS THE ENGINE STARTED TO DEVELOP A MISFIRE. FORD HAS RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM WITH THE SPARK PLUGS AND THE DIFFICULTY TO REMOVE THEM. THIS KNOWN MAINTENANCE ISSUE LED FORD TO PROVIDE A TSB ON THE ISSUE. THIS MISFIRE HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO STALL SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TOWING A 7,000LB BOAT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND THE MOTORISTS AROUND ME. I EXPRESS CONCERN THAT FORD SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE DEFECTIVE PLUGS WITH UPDATED DESIGNS BEFORE TRAGEDIES START TO HAPPEN. THIS ENGINE/SPARK PLUG DESIGN ENTERED SERVICE IN 2004 AND VEHICLES, LIKE MINE, WILL BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE SERIOUS SAFETY RELATED INCIDENTS IF IT IS NOT ADDRESSED. *TR
