Description of the problem	My 2001 ford svt f-150 lightning blew a spark plug out of the cylinder head of the engine. There was no prior warning to this happening. When this happened the vehicle was undrivable and i was forced to have it towed. Ford towing was unable to get the vehicle until the following day so i was forced to pay for the tow out of my pocket. The first dealership i went to said they wouldn't fix the truck under warranty. The second dealership that it went to was able to cover the repair under warranty. This entire incident happened why i was on vacation. I am a soldier returning from iraq and i was forced to spend a week in a hotel room why they waited on parts to fix my vehicle. After the vehicle was fixed i was sent on my way and two hours later the vehicle had more problems. Several other small components were also damaged and i was forced to stop again. This was also covered under warranty. I thought that this was unheard of, but as it turns out is very common to the ford triton v-8 engines. I am one of thousands that this has happened to and i feel fortunate that i wasn't left stranded in an unsafe area.
