1 Adaptive Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/23/2015

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.

2 Adaptive Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/28/2011

To start out, it should not cost $1249. 00 to change one spark plug. . . Due to Ford's design flaw on their motor craft spark plugs which causes th em to break extremely easy, I am being charged to tear down my entire engine to retreive one spark plug!!! this is Ford's fault and I feel they should be held liable for the cost of repair. I have been told by several mechanics that Ford designed their motor craft plugs to break!! Ford is also the only one who can fix the problem. It was not until I paid over $400. 00 to change 2 coil packs that I was hit with this price. This F-150 woulonly do 30-35 mph on the interstate highway. . . I could have been killed if I was hit from behind!! these spark plugs should be recalled and I should be reimbursed! my truck is still at the Ford dealership after a week. . . I already paid $126. 00 for my motor craft parts by cash even before taking my truck to them. This is not right on the part of Ford to design a vehicle like that. Please investigate this defect problem so others are not charged like I am being charged. Please recall these spark plugs !!!!.
