| Description of the problem | I want to preface this by saying that before this problem occurred i had my f-150 iat a ford dealership in raleigh nc two says before because the vehicle would randomly shut off when i was driving it about 600 miles before the extended warranty was up. They said they could not find anything wrong with it so i was forced to take the vehicle back i was driving home from my parents house in ohio on christmas day. As i was heading through virginia to north carolina i heard a noise coming from under the hood. I stopped to see what it was and eventually found out that the spark plug had blown away from the head. Apparently this is a common problem with this make and model vehicle along with many others. After horrible customer service i was forced to pay almost 3500 dollars in order to get my truck back. Ford said that they could not do anything about it. 1d |
