Complaint Summary

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

Owner Narrative

STARTED MY 2001 FORD E-350. AFTER 10-15 SECONDS, LARGE POP AND ENGINE DIED. OPENED HOOD AND FOUND RIGHT REAR SPARK PLUG HAD BLOWN OUT OF ENGINE. I'M AN ENGINEER AND I'VE BEEN WORKING ON ENGINES OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS FOR 35 YEARS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS ENGINEERING DEFECT. FORD SHOULD REPLACE THE PARTS. WE HAVE A FLEET OF FORDS. I NOW WISH IT WAS A FLEET OF CHEVY'S. *TR
