Description of the problem | While entering a highway (i-75) heard a loud noise from the engine. After having the vehicle towed to a shop, it was determined that one of the spark plugs had blown out of the engine. In january 2012 the same thing happened at start up again it was determined that a spark plug had blown out of the engine. February 2012 (today) apparently the same has occurred while entering a highway (i-75), i have not had a shop look at it yet. I believe this is very dangerous because fuel vapors could leak out of the spark plug hole and cause a fire or explosion. |
