Description of the problem | I have a 2005 ford f-150 (4. 6l v8) and i recently had a spark plug blow out of the engine, for the second time. The first time it cost me $556. 50 to repair it. This time it happened in a different cylinder. This time i had my 2year old daughter with me and was stranded along interstate 70 for over an hour. I didn't report it the first time, because i thought it was an isolated incident. Now after some research, i have found that this happening around the nation. I am not sure why there hasn't been a recall. Not only can this be a fire hazard, but in my case, my daughter and i were stranded along side a very busy highway. |
