Consumer Description

MY 2005 F150 XLT 4.6L ENGINE BLEW OUT THE #3 SPARK PLUG. THIS IS A TERRIBLE INCONVENIENCE AND FRIGHTENING TO THINK THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND LEAVE YOU STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF "NO WHERE", A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, COULD EVEN BE LIFE THREATENING AND YET FORD WILL NOT OWN UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR INADEQUATE DESIGN. TO THINK THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND LEAVE ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF "NO WHERE" IS VERY FRIGHTENING AND COULD BE DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING. THIS COULD PROVE VERY COSTLY AT $280 A PLUG..
