 Description of the problemApproximately 2 years ago i purchased a 2005 ford f-150 extended cab truck. I have had no problems with the truck up until this point and my truck currently has approximately 67,000 miles on it. However, approximately three (3) weeks ago i noticed my truck "sputtering" and "missing" and having some difficulty starting. I took it to the dealership (kamaaina motor's) that i purchased it from. The mechanics are now telling me that the spark plugs broke off and fell into the engine "head". They have attempted to retrieve the pieces of the spark plugs (two as they are currently reporting) but they feel that the impact of the spark plugs falling into the head may have now caused my motor to freeze up. At this point they are recommending complete engine replacement for my truck which will cost thousands of dollars. I am devastated. This is my only vehicle and i still owe money to the bank to pay it off. I don't have thousands of dollars to replace the motor and i know can't just get another loan for another car. I have been reading online about this repeated failure on ford's fault of defective spark plugs and that this is common and of no fault of the owners of the vehicles. At this point my truck is still sitting at the mechanics and is not moving and i am without a car. Is there not anything that the ford company can do to be responsible for their defective productions?? I devastated by this and have no idea what i am going to do to get back into a running vehicle so i can get to work and take my kids to and from school. Please help?????
