| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: March 30, 2007 to whom it may concern: i have a 2000 ford mustang gt-while driving home today 3/30/07 in heavy traffic, i heard a load pop, and then lost engine function. i was lucky that i was not killed. when i checked my engine, it had blown the spark plug-i thought this was an isolated problem until i checked on the internet, and read all of the incidents with fords "spitting" spark plugs. i think it is horrific that ford will not stand behind their product and do the right thing-"recall"-how many will have to die before ford acknowledges there is a problem with their automobiles blowing spark plugs. i will say that as the owner of multiple ford mustangs including 65, 66, 67, 70, 98, 2000 (still have them all). i will think twice before buying another ford if they do not take appropriate action and acknowledge there is an issue with their product-something as simple as a notification of a potential problem could have saved 1000s from expensive, needless damage to their automobiles. i for one would have ensured that i did frequent spark plug checks to ensure they were secure, or would have possibly taken corrective measures before needed repairs from damage. american made should not equate to inferiorly made. i am requesting that i be reimbursed for the damage caused due to a faulty design with the cylinder head. in addition, i am requesting that ford notify the owners of the vehicle models with this design flaw to ensure that there is no needless loss of life from potential accidents as a direct result of this design flaw. *jb |
