Description of the problem	I have a 2001 ford f-150 xlt 4. 6l with 151,000 miles. A few days ago, i was driving on interstate 64 and heard a loud pop from the engine area. The engine started to miss violently. I pulled to the side of the road, raised the hood and noticed the spark plug had blown out. Of course, i could not drive the truck anywhere so my 10 year old son and i had to wait for an hour for a tow truck. After some research, i realize that this has happened to thousands of people. Ford seems to blame incorrect torquing of the spark plugs, but most people blame a poor design in the small quantity of threads holding the spark plug. I can say that no one has touched the plugs in this truck except for a ford dealership when the plugs were changed at 75,000 miles. I am now stuck with an enormous repair bill of over $2000 for installation of a new head and coil pack (not to mention a tow bill and the stress of being stranded on the interstate and not owning a functional vehicle). If this is a design issue, then ford needs to at least make the repairs affordable.
