Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND THE SPARK PLUG WAS BLOWN OUT OF THE ENGINE. COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPING BEFORE UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER TOLD ME HIS EXPEDITION WITH A TRITONV8 DID THE SAME THING. DEALER WANTED $700 TO FIX THE SPARK PLUG AND $1200 TOTAL TO REPLACE ALL COIL PACKS AND PLUGS WHICH IS RIDICULOUS FOR A NON-CUSTOM PICK UP TRUCK. WHAT IF MY WIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND NOT KNOWN WHAT TO DO? IT COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE OR CAUSED A CRASH. THE DEALER RATTLED OFF THE ESTIMATE LIKE THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME WHICH TELLS ME THIS IS A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING AND WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED?
