1997 FORD F25. THIS WAS THE SECOND SPARK PLUG TO BLOW OUT OF HEAD. FIRST REPAIR COST $450.00, THIS TIME IT COST ME MY TRUCK, 2 CAMERAS, GPS, LAPTOP COMPUTER AND SEVERAL OTHER ITEMS AS THE TRUCK COUGHT ON FIRE WHEN SPARK PLUG HIT FUEL INECTION RAIL AN STARTED A FUEL FIRE THAT BURNT THE TRUCK TO GROUND. TOTAL LOSS. BURNED MY HANDS TRYING TO SAVE ITEMS IN CAB. HAD A FIRE EXTINGUISHER, BUT HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINES SPRAYED FIRE TO FAST. MY GIRL FRIEND, HER DOG, AND I HAD 30 SECONDS TO GET OUT. IN 2 MINUTES THE CAB WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I WILL BE DISMANTLING THIS ENGINE AS I AM A MECHANIC AND MACHINIST AND PLAN TO PROVE THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH THREADS SECURING SPARK PLUGS IN THEE ALUMIN UM HEADS. THERE WERE STANDARDS OUTLINED FOR MACHINING THREADS.*AK
WHILE DRIVING ALONG A SPARK PLUG WAS BLOWN OUT OF THE CYLINDER WITH THE INSUING LOUD BANGING SCARING THE DRIVER AND ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. FORD DEALER RETHREADED SPARK PLUG HOLE AND REPLACED SPARK PLUG.
I OWN A 1997 FORD F250 TRUCK. ON THE BELOW LISTED DATE, WHILE DRIVING AT 0430 HRS IN THE MORNING ON A TWO LANE ROADWAY, THE THIRD SPARK PLUG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BLEW OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD. I LOOKED UP INFORMATION ON INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING WITHOUT WARNING OR FAULT OF THE DRIVERS/OWNERS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. THIS JUST HAPPENED TODAY AND I HAVE NOT CONTACTED ANY REPAIR SERVICE YET. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM AND FORD HAS NOT RECOGNIZED THE DESIGN FAULT. I WAS LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY DUE TO THE LACK OF ENGINE POWER FROM THIS PROBLEM. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND DONE NOTHING TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE POTENTIAL DANGEROUS SITUATION NOT TO MENTION UNWARRANTED COST TO...
