Consumer Description

A SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE ENGINE. WHILE I REALIZE THAT THERE WAS NO COLLATERAL DAMAGE THIS TIME, MY TRUCK HAS NINE MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO DO IT AGAIN. MY DAUGHTER AND 4 YEAR OLD GRANDSON WERE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN 32 DEGREE TEMPS. HER CELL PHONE HAD DIED AND SHE HAD TO WALK TO A PHONE (CHILD IN TOW). THERE IS ENORMOUS PROOF THAT THIS IS A RAMPANT PROBLEM WITH FORD ENGINES AND HAS COST CONSUMERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR YET YOU CHOOSE NOT TO HOLD THEM LIABLE AND HAVE EVEN ALLOWED THEM TO COVER UP A PROBLEM.
