| Description of the problem | Morning of july 23,2015, i was driving about 25 mpr speed when number three spark plug blow out of the cylanderhead on my f-150 triton v8. Took it to the local machanic shop walton's. Three hours later, walton's had to replace and resleeve number three cylanderhead and replaced electrical sparkplug wire, plus replaced all eight spark plugs. All at a cost of $543. 00. Not only this happened to me but walton's stated that i was the 10th person this week this has happened too. I presented the part to my local ford dealership where we bought the truck (hall's ford motor company) brand new in 2006 and paid cash to the sum of $30,000. 00. I asked them if they know of this problem with triton v8's. They stated they did but no know recalls and they too had several repairs come in for the same thing in the pass week. They also stated that the ford motor company was aware of this matter but never let there customers know about this problem yet because there was no recall on file to let them know. This thing where the spark plugs come flying out of an engine can be very hazards, it could cause a crash or even give a person a heart attack because the truck sounds like world war iii going off under the hood and it may even start a fire. This matter needs to be taken care of by ford. |
