Complaint Summary
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
Owner Narrative
I WAS DOING SOME CITY DRIVING IN MY FORD VAN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTED TO SOUND ROUGH AND LIKE MY MUFFLER FELL OFF. I STOPPED HAD IT TOWED AND THEY TOLD ME THE SPARK PLUG HAD BLOWN OUT OF THE ENGINE. WHEN LOOKING INTO IT SEEMS THAT IT IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IF I HAD NOT TURNED THE ENGINE OFF QUICKLY I COULD HAVE HAD A FIRE IN THERE AS THERE STILL IS GAS AND COMBUSTION GOING ON(THE OTHER 9 PLUGS) NOW I DON'T KNOW IF OR WHEN THE OTHER PLUGS WILL GO ON ME ANDS AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR MORE THAN A TAXI CAB RIDE HOME. *TR
