I OWN A FORD F-250 WITH A 5.4 MOTOR. THIS TRUCK BLEW A SPARK PLUG OUT OF THE MOTOR ON 4-15 -2008 AND IT BLEW A DIFFERENT SPARK PLUG OUT OF THE MOTOR ON 5-13-2009. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS TRUCK AND OTHER VEHICLES AND CORRECT THIS DEFECT. I WILL BE TALKING WITH A LAWYER IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS IN HOPES OF GETTING MY TRUCK REPAIRED AND TO RECOVER THE MONEY I HAVE ALREADY SPENT FOR REPAIRS.I F SAFERCAR.GOV WILL CHECK WITH PARTS HOUSES SUCH AS AUTO ZONE AND REPAIR SHOPS YOU WILL FIND THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM, A VERY VERY BIG PROBLEM. I PULL A HORSE TRAILER AND IF THIS SPARK WOULD HAVE BLEW OUT WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ME OR MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED !!!!!! *TR WALTER GLENN JOHNSON BYRAM,MS
