Description of the problem | I own a ford f150 trition truck in may of 2008 i blew my first spark plug while driving home. I took it to a local dealer, and the service department informed me that it was a default in the design of the engine and that ford would not cover the approximate cost of $700. Four months later, i threw another one while simply starting my truck in a parking lot. I paid another $700. It has been three months. On christmas eve, while pulling out into traffic from a complete stop, i threw my 3rd. Spark plug. This is a defect! |
