While pulling up to a stop light my truck started popping and shaking. i pulled over and opened the hood to find out a spark plug had blown out of the motor. it exploded with such force it broke the coil over housing on the head. i have called ford and they say they don't know of any issues of this. it is all over the internet about it. they are in court right now over the 2005 and up vehicles having the same issue. i am the original owner and have never had to replace the plugs so they are straight from the factory, and the truck has only 123,000 miles on it. it is now going to cost me over $400.00 to fix this one plug with no guarantee it won't happen to any other plugs. i'm retired on social security and cannot afford a new truck payment, or continue to fix their defects.
