While driving my 2001 Ford Crown Victoria lx 4. 6l v8 on may 23rd, I heard a loud boom from under the hood and a sudden loss of power. I took it to a mechanic and he said that the number 3 spark plug had blown out of the cylinder head. He charged me over 250. 00 to fix it. He said that he sees this same thing on this particular motor about 8 times per year. When researching on the internet I found numerous other people across the united states that have run into the exact same thing, only to be told by Ford and repair technicians of Ford that there is not a problem. .

Faint sudden noise from the engine compartment (coolant causing serpentine belt slippage, I believe) and then the engine overheated. Due to roughly a 3 inch crack in the intake manifold plastic composite which dumped coolant into the back of the alternator. I was able to pull off before the engine was damaged. Both the dealer, who is to be commended for a quick and effective repair (makes one wonder if the mechanics have had a lot pf practice with this repair), and Ford motor company tell me there is no relief for repairs on a car with my VIN although the replacement part is constructed of metal and composite rather than composite alone. I appreciate this design change which hopefully will ward off another similar failure but doesn't changing the design recognize that there was a weakness? on this same web-site I read that some Ford fleet vehicles were recalled and repaired. Concerning safety, the only issue this senior citizen faced was the stress of walking four tenths of a mile in the June heat and humidity to call for help and in paying the tow and repair expense. One is not surprised or greatly upset when the alternator wears out - but the intake manifold? what kind of stress testing did this non-moving part get when approved for production?.
