Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2012 FORD F150 ECOBOOST. RECENTLY MY FAMILY WAS OUT OF TOWN TRYING TO MAKE OUR WAY HOME WHEN MY TRUCK SHUTTERS AND LOST POWER FOR A MINUTE, FOLLOWED BY A BLINKING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEN A SOLID CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACKS, AND IT WOULD COST OVER $500. I WAS AMAZED BY THIS CONSIDERING THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS RECOMMENDED BY FORD TO REPLACE SPARK PLUGS AT 100,000 MILES. TO ADD TO MY AMAZEMENT, MY FAIRLY EXPENSIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER THIS, NOT EVEN THE COIL PACK REPLACEMENT, WHICH TO ME SEEMS LIKE A WARRANTY ISSUE CONSIDERING THEY WENT BAD SO EARLY INTO THE ENGINES LIFE. I KNOW THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE TRUCKS AND HAVE READ EXTENSIVELY ON THE ISSUE. HOW IS THIS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS BEING ADDRESSED?
