My problem is with my Ford 2002 triton engine, the spark plugs blow out which is dangerous because they can cause the gas vapors to catch fire and start surrounding areas of the motor , I have had this happen twice now and it is very costly, there should be recall done on this problem, I know of several other owners that have had the same problems, this is an accident waiting to happen, im sure others have had worse problems then myself with these types of engines, please help us by calling for Ford to recall this obvious problem. Thank you.
