Description of the problem	The rear passenger side spark plug blew out of the head at normal operating speed (40mph). This appears to be a common problem among the ford f150 triton v8 engines (having reviewed several internet web sites). There is a design flaw where the rear passenger side cylinder overheats and causes the sparkplug to blow out of the cylinder head. Consumers must be made aware of this situation and ford needs to take responsibility and be held accountable. If i were on the freeway with my children in the truck when this failure occured i shudder to think of what could have happened. Shame on ford!!!*ak
