Consumer Description

ON 05/16/2014 THE NUMBER 3 SPARK PLUG BLEW-OUT OF THE HEAD CAUSING FUEL TO BE SPRAYED INTO THE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY FAMILY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THIS TRUNK. THE FIRST IS LISTED ON THE APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE OF THIS REPORT. SPARK PLUG BLOW-OUT SEEMS TO BE A CONSISTANT PROBLEM WITH THE FORD TRUCK ENGINES AND COULD POSE A PROBLEM OF A ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE, BREAK DOWNS ON BUSY INTERSTATES & HIGHWAYS, WRECKS AND FATALITIES FROM SUDDEN SLOW DOWNS BECAUSE OF ENGINE POWER LOSS WHILE TRAVELING OR BEING STRANDED ON ISOLATED ROADS. THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE POSSIBILITIES THAT MAY HAPPEN (OR HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS). FORD MOTOR MOTOR KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM BUT WON'T LISTEN TO THEIR CONSUMERS. ONLY THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION AND SAFTY ADMINISTRATION CAN MAKE THEM AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SO THAT THEY WILL FIX IT. ALSO FROM TALKING WITH FORD CORPORATE AND FORD CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL ADDRESS THIS IS THROUGH A RECALL. PLEASE DO AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS COMPLAINT SO THAT THERE MAYBE A POSSIBILITY OF A FIX AND A LIFE AND/OR INJURY MAYBE SAVED, THANK-YOU. *JS
