Consumer Description
HAVE A SLIGHT MISFIRE AND CALLED ALL MY LOCAL SHOPS AND NO SHOP WILL CHANGE THE PLUGS ON A F-150 WITH A 5.4L TRITON MOTOR. THEY SAID IT'S WELL KNOWN THAT ALL THE SPARK PLUGS WILL SNAP OFF IN THE BLOCK. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WANT $1000 TO CHANGE THEM. WHILE IN ALL OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS IT'S $50-$100 JOB. RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE IT SEEMS THIS HAPPENS TO EVERY FORD THAT HAD THE 5.4L TRITON ENGINE. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? I CAN'T AFFORD $1000 TO CHANGE MY SPARK PLUGS. I'M A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER AND THIS IS BEYOND MY MEANS CURRENTLY. I EMAILED FORD AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT BEING A KNOWN ISSUE. YET EVERY MECHANIC SHOP WILL AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CASES OF THIS ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET.
