NHTSA Complaint #11398128 — 2000 FORD F-150

I HAVE A 2000 FORD F150 4X4 5.4 LITER ENGINE WITH NOW MY SECOND BLOWN OUT SPARK PLUG. I PAID A LOT FOR THE FIRST SPARK PLUG REPAIR. I KNOW THIS IS A FORD DESIGN PROBLEM - IT IS WELL-KNOWN. IS FORD COMPENSATING CONSUMERS FOR "THEIR" PROBLEM? I ONLY HAVE 140,685 MILES ON THIS TRUCK AND DO ALL THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE MYSELF AND THE SPECIFIED INTERVALS. IF FORD IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT THEN IT IS THE GOVERNMENT'S REPSONSIBILITY TO MAKE THEM. I AM RETIRED AND NOT ABLE TO REPAIR THIS MYSELF. CAN YOU DIRECT ME TO THE RIGHT GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT OR ARE YOU IT? FORD MUST COMPENSATE THE CONSUMER FULLY AND NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE THE CONSUMER AS THE GUINEA PIG AND HAVE US FORK OUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR THEIR KNOWN BAD DESIGN. THE DESIGN ISSUE WITH THE BLOWN OUT SPARK PLUG IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH THREADS IN TO THE HEAD TO HOLD THE SPARK PLUG IN. OVER TIME THE SPARK PLUG LOOSENS UP AND BLOWS OUT DUE TO THE HIGH COMPRESSION OF THE PISTON. ALL MECHANICS KNOW OF THIS ISSUE AND HAVE REPAIR HUNDREDS OF THESE PROBLEMS! *JS
