Consumer Description

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED BUT THE BODY WAS IN GREAT CONDITION AND IT RAN GOOD ON THE TEST DRIVE. AFTER THREE DAYS I NOTICED A FUEL SMELL IN THE CAB AND WHEN OVERTAKING A VEHICLE IT STARTED MISS FIRE. FORTUNATELY THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM HAD ME TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC HERE IN TOWN WHO SAID THAT IT WAS THE NUMBER FIVE IGNITION COIL WHICH HE REPLACED. THE NEXT DAY THE PROBLEM CONTINUED SO I TOOK IT BACK AND IT WAS THE SPARK PLUGS WHICH HE REPLACED (400.00) BUT IT RAN WELL. I DROVE IT TO PA. AND BACK WITH NO PROBLEM BUT YESTERDAY THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AND NOW IT IS COIL NUMBER 2 (73.00). THE MECHANIC WHO HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 28 YEARS IN OUR FARM TOWN IN WHICH HE SERVICES NUMEROUS FORD TRUCKS SAID THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH FORDS FROM THE COILS TO THE ILL DESIGNED SPARK PLUGS. NOW THAT I HAVE READ THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WHICH ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH MY PROBLEM INCLUDING THE FUEL SMELL MAKES ME WONDER IF THE NHTSA IS ON THE TAKE FROM FORD TO OVERLOOK CERTAIN PROBLEMS. I THINK THAT I WILL USE SOME OF MY WELL CONNECTED FRIENDS IN CONGRESS TO LOOK INTO THIS IF I DO NOT GET A SATISFACTORY ANSWER TO THIS ISSUE. *TR
