| Description of the problem | When i started the truck, a spark plug blew into the head. The mechanic at the ford dealership told me this was a common problem with these trucks. The repair cost me $3,448. To replace the head. If ford is aware of this problem, the vehicles should be recalled and the problem corrected. My family was left stranded 7 hours away from home, had to rent a vehicle to get home and then two weeks later, had to return to dealership and pick up the truck. So stressful and expensive. Just glad we were in a town when this happened! |
