While driving the vehicle made a loud bang and smoke began coming out of hood. Once we got the engine turned off and the emergency was over we discovered the spark plug had blown up. When it blew up the head became stripped and we had to have a plug installed into the defective head and replace the coil. I have since found out this is a very common problem with Ford Excursions.
Blown spark plug from 2000 Ford Excursion v-10 triton engine. 3rd time. First time on new years eve 2007 while driving through town of houghton michigan. Was able to insert new plug as old plug was completely blown out from under hood and could not find. Had to replace plug coil as mounting bracket was broken and coil jacket and spring destroyed as well. Second time same plug, this time no threads left to seat spark plug. Thread insert installed by local high performance engine garage. They viewed problem as poor design and manufacturing practices by Ford motor company. Third time just happened earlier today while on us-41 traveling through l'anse michigan ironically just a few miles after passing the old Ford alberta michigan lumber mill where the sideboards for the Ford woodsies were milled. Contacted friends at the high performance engine shop to have a new thread insert placed into the cylinder. The nhsta and the federal government needs to reopen this case and take action and get Ford to replace the faulty heads on all triton engines. This could cause a serious fire or accident. But most of all it is a very expensive repair and the Ford dealerships will not do anything other than replace the aluminum head at the owners expense of $4,000 plus dollars. 3 incidents of this kind are ridiculous.
While driving 45 mph vehicle stalled. This caused the driver to drift to side of the road. Consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealer, and mechanic determined that engine spark plugs blew out of the engine. Mechanic replaced the spark plugs.
While driving 70 mph took foot off accelerator while getting ready to exit, and vehicle started to lose power, which it actually did. Also, stated by vehicle was stopped, it has lost power steering and v stalled. Had not contacted dealer.
While warming vehicle and without any indication vehicle stalled, and could not be restarted. Vehicle was towed to dealer, technician couldn't duplicate problem. Please provide further information.
