Description of the problem	We have a ford f150 crew cab with a 5. 4 triton motor. I was putting it in reverse to drive away and there was a strange popping sound. I instantly shut it off and opened the hood. My father examined it for me and stated the number 3 spark plug had ejected itself, cracking the coil as well. We had to have a helicoil kit installed in order to have threads for the new plug. The truck still is not running properly. This has cost approximately $300 so far, and there is more work that will have to be done since it still sputters and runs rough. This is a well known problem by the ford dealership, as i have researched it on the internet but ford refuses to take responsibility for the poorly manufactured triton motor. Fires can start when they pop out as well. This is a dis-service to the public who have unknowingly bought these vehicles and get stuck with huge repairs due to the design of the motor. I am disgusted that there is not a recall. Ford must be held responsible for all these repairs! There is a huge injustice happening by allowing ford to walk away from the responsibility. A recall before deaths happen would be the responsible thing to do! Lemon laws should apply to the triton motors by ford! If i had known this was happening we would never ever have purchased this vehicle! Shame on the ford company!!! Get the recall set into motion to compensate all the people who bought these dangerous pieces of crap!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
