| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving along i suddenly heard a loud 'bang'. thinking it must be a flat tire i pulled over to inspect my tires. after i found no issues with my tires, i noticed that the noise was in fact coming from my engine which also smelled as if something was burning. after having the vehicle towed to be inspected, i was advised that the aluminum around the spark plug had melted and i needed a new head replaced which will cost over 3000 dollars. they initially thought the spark plug had ejected. what will it take to have ford stand behind their vehicles? *jb |
