Description of the problem	2001 ford f150 spark plug blowout has left me without a vehicle and out of money now. According to my research this is a common problem among all ford v8's and v10's from 1999 to 2002. The problem is due to lack of threads in the aluminum heads (only four theads), and has resulted in several fires and extensive property damage. Apparently all attempts at a recall and class action law suit have been met with relative disregard. Despite the fact that ford redesigned their heads after 2002 to correct this problem they still refuse any assistance to customers who suffer due to their design flaw. Apparently someone will have to die from the engine fire before anything will be done. And eventually someone will die, if they haven't already. Perhaps a death due to this problem might force legal action. I'm currently looking at over $3000 worth of repair cost, the vehicle cannot currently be driven due to risk of fire. Please refer to consumercomplaints. Com for a list of thousands of individuals who have suffered because of ford's design flaw.
