1 Engine Exhaust System problem

Failure Date: 12/21/2010

In my 2000 Ford F-250 super duty 6. 8l v-10 the spark plug blew out of the head causing a very dangerous situation. My truck lost some of its power which was obviously a problem being that I was on the freeway during rush-hour. When I popped the hood, I was amazed to find the spark plug sitting on top of the valve cover with a hole underneath it where exhaust and gas was being ejected rapidly. Had I not turned off the engine quickly, I could have had an engine fire on my hands on the side of the freeway. Ford refuses to fix the problem even though I have done research and found countless other owners of the same vehicle with this exact same problem. They need to be accountable for this problem before someone tries to drive their truck to a repair shop without disconnecting the fuel injector starting a fire under the hood.
