Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: While driving my 1999 ford triton v-10 powered c-class motorhome in heavy traffic the engine made a loud bang. after the bang it continued to rattle badly and mis-fire. worked my way across traffic and stopped in a no parking zone for 2 hrs awaiting a tow truck. we were in a fairly un-safe position, as the shoulder was limited and it was on the exit route for the california speedway just after a nascar race. the repair shop has told me that a spark plug blew out of the cylinder head. i'm learning that this is a common occurrence on this model engine. *nm
