AS I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, THERE WAS A LOUD BLOW OUT AS I WAS GOING 60 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THAT I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE COILS IN THIS TRUCK AND THIS TIME THE ACTUAL SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE ENGINE LEAVING A OPEN HOLE THAT COULD IGNITE A FIRE. I HAVE NOW SPENT OVER $3600 ON REPAIRS JUST TO FIND OUT WITH DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH THAT FORD KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND HAS BEEN BLAMING THE CONSUMER FOR TIGHTENING THE SPARK PLUGS TO TIGHT AND OTHER BULL THAT THEY COME UP WITH AND NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CHEAP ALUMINUM PLUGS AND PLUG WIRES IN THEIR VEHICLE. THIS EFFECT CARS AND TRUCK WITH THIS ENGINE SINCE 1999 AND GOES THROUGH VEHICLES OF 2008. A 9 YEAR PROBLEM AND THE FORD CORPORATION DID NOT DO A RECALL. THIS WILL EFFECT IF I WILL BE BUYING ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE FOR SURE. *TR

I HAVE HAD SPARK PLUGS BLOW TWICE IN THIS ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE LAST TIME IN JANUARY 2014 THAT I HAVEN'T HAD THE MONEY TO FIX THIS TIME. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND FORD HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THEIR DESIGN. IT IS A WONDER THAT MORE PEOPLE HAVEN'T GOTTEN HURT FROM THIS PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

BLEW OUT 3 SPARK PLUGS ALREADY. NOW I NEED TO GET THE ENGINE FIXED AND SPEND 50% OF THE TRUCKS VALUE, BECAUSE FORD ROLLED OUT A FAULTY DESIGN AND WONT OWN UP. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BLOW OUT UNTIL I PURCHASED A FORD, AND I'VE OWNED SOO MANY OTHER CARS THAT NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY FORD! *TR
