My 20002 Ford F-350 v10 pickup truck blew out a spark plug. The first time I thought nothing of it, I replaced it and the coil for $120. 00. Two days later it blew out again this time while I was traveling on a main road, the truck died in the street from 40 mph to zero in no time at all. I was almost rear ended my a very large 18 wheeler carrying a large excavating machine . Luckily he had room to pass me on my left ,before any damaged was done. After some research I have found out that Ford has known about this problem for years. There has been thousands of people have their spark plugs blown out of the cylinder walls , due to faulty threadings in the cylinder wall. When will Ford be held accountable for the expensive repair, when someone dies.
