Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 75 AND SUDDENLY I LOST POWER AND HAD A EXTREMELY LOUD PIPING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD . I STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD I COULD NOT TELL WITH THE ENGINE OFF SO I RESTARTED IT AND INSPECTED IT AND FOUND THAT MY NUMBER 2 SPARK PLUG HAD BLOWN OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD AFTER BUYING A NEW COIL PACK AND SPARK PLUG SET I DISCOVERED THAT ALL THE THREADS HAD BLOWN OUT OF THE HEAD WITH THE SPARK PLUG AND AFTER CHANGING ONE OF THE OTHER SPARK PLUGS I FOUND THAT IT WAS BARELY HOLDING IN .I THINK THAT THE HEADS DESIGN WAS POOR AND WEAK AND IS S SAFETY HAZARD.
