Consumer Description

AS I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, THERE WAS A LOUD BLOW OUT AS I WAS GOING 60 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THAT I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE COILS IN THIS TRUCK AND THIS TIME THE ACTUAL SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE ENGINE LEAVING A OPEN HOLE THAT COULD IGNITE A FIRE. I HAVE NOW SPENT OVER $3600 ON REPAIRS JUST TO FIND OUT WITH DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH THAT FORD KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND HAS BEEN BLAMING THE CONSUMER FOR TIGHTENING THE SPARK PLUGS TO TIGHT AND OTHER BULL THAT THEY COME UP WITH AND NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CHEAP ALUMINUM PLUGS AND PLUG WIRES IN THEIR VEHICLE. THIS EFFECT CARS AND TRUCK WITH THIS ENGINE SINCE 1999 AND GOES THROUGH VEHICLES OF 2008. A 9 YEAR PROBLEM AND THE FORD CORPORATION DID NOT DO A RECALL. THIS WILL EFFECT IF I WILL BE BUYING ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE FOR SURE. *TR
