Blast from engine at 45 mph while driving on snowy/icy bridge christmas night 2007. No where to pull over. Bounced off snow pile and with momentum crossed over bridge. Still in traffic and several near misses later highway patrol found me and diverted traffic. Spark had blown right out of engine but still attached to coil. Gas exiting and ignited with each spark firing. Vehicle now at Ford dealer. Greater than $4,000 repair. Service writer says spark plugs blowing out of engine and disabling engine with possible fire has been common on 2000-2005 Ford truck engines. Ford needs to be pressed for recall. Not enough threads to hold spark plugs in long term on original equipment. Common expectation of serviceability is that spark plugs and ignition fire stay inside engines. Consumer affairs web sight list hundreds of complaints on this issue.

At 90,000 miles after my first "tune up" I blew a spark plug off of my head on my 2000 Ford Excursion. I was told by my local mechanic and many other people that Ford's in this year range have been streaming into his shop with blown spark plugs. I also stated that Ford is refusing to recognize this huge safety issue and that the government needs to get involved. Please take this complaint seriously. My wife and 5 kids were in the car in a unknown area to them at 10:00pm when this breakdown occurred. This story is very similar to 1000's of other stories on the internet. Just type in "blew a spark plug" into a search engine and start reading.

2001 Ford Excursion: accelerated after turning a corner and a spark plug blew out. Had been highway driving for 60 miles prior to the failure. The engine still ran but did not run smoothly. The threads were damaged and a new plug could not be inserted. The head is being replaced with a new head from the dealer at an approximate cost of $3800. Nm.

Driving on level interstate highway with cruise control set at 70 mph. Heard small explosion similar to tire blowout. Immediately pulled over to side of road and checked engine. Found that the #3 spark plug had blown out of the cylinder head. Had vehicle towed home. No repairs made at this time due to holidays.

I own a Ford Excursion with a 6. 8 v10 motor. While traveling on an interstate at posted speed one or more (waiting to here from repair shop) spark plugs were blown from the cylinder head without warning and could have caused a very serious accident. Fortunately at the time I was able to pull over to the side of the road safely just avoiding a fast over taking transport truck. From what research I have done on the internet this is an all too common problem with the Ford v10's and some v8's. I am now looking at a minimum of a replacement head and it might require a replacement motor. This is a safety issue and could have ended in an accident or fire.

The spark plug popped out of the head of my 2002 Ford Excursion. The dealer repaired it at a cost of around $500. 00. They told me they never heard of this before and I was lucky I didn't blow the motor at a $7000,00 cost. I first felt lucky when I called customer service they too said it was new to them also. Many of my friends say this problem is a common one. Now I want to know how common and if so why do I have to pay for their design flaw.

Ford Excursion 2001 v10 Ford v10 engine oil coagulates due to poor oil flow and seezes engine. One mechanic told me he had at least ten on his lot with the same problem. The only solution given is replace the entire engine. An expensive solution. I have read many testomonials on the web of people complaining about this same situation. Hopefully I can get some help with a recall or class action suit.

Truck dies when you slow down or apply brakes. Then will not remain running when put into drive, it will die immediately when taken out of park. Have to start car in n gear, bring engine speed over 1500 rpm's then pop it into drive for truck to remain running. Has now happened four times.

When applying brakes lost control of vehicle. Engine slowed down. Also, hesitated without prior notice.
