| 1997 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE | I OWN A 1997 FORD F250 TRUCK. ON THE BELOW LISTED DATE, WHILE DRIVING AT 0430 HRS IN THE MORNING ON A TWO LANE ROADWAY, THE THIRD SPARK PLUG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BLEW OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD. I LOOKED UP INFORMATION ON INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING WITHOUT WARNING OR FAULT OF THE DRIVERS/OWNERS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. THIS JUST HAPPENED TODAY AND I HAVE NOT CONTACTED ANY REPAIR SERVICE YET. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM AND FORD HAS NOT RECOGNIZED THE DESIGN FAULT. I WAS LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY DUE TO THE LACK OF ENGINE POWER FROM THIS PROBLEM. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND DONE NOTHING TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE POTENTIAL DANGEROUS SITUATION NOT TO MENTION UNWARRANTED COST TO VEHICLE OWNERS THAT COULD POSSIBLY PREVENT THIS IF IT WAS KNOWN. IT IS PERTANANT THAT SOMEONE OR SOME ORGANIZATION WITH STANDING AND POWER DEAL WITH THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY ON THIS ISSUE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *JB |
| 1994 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD | NOTICED SMOKE BILLOWING OUT FROM UNDER THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WITHIN SECONDS THE CAB WAS FILLED WITH BLACK SMOKE AND THE FLAMES BROKE THROUGH THE DASHBOARD. THIS HAPPENED SO FAST THAT THERE SEEMED TO BE NO FIREWALL BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. THE FIRE WAS SO HOT IT MELTED PIECES OF THE TRUCK, AND THE TIRES. |
