Two problems related to gasoline fuel system have been reported for the 1999 Ford Expedition. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 05/23/2011

I have a 1999 Ford Expedition XLT with a 5. 4 l v8 with 130k miles on it. I started my vehicle this morning and it sounded like the engine had exploded followed by grey smoke coming from under the hood. After inspecting the vehicle I discovered that the passenger side , second from the rear spark plug was blown out of the cylinder head. After some research I found that this is an all to common problem for certain year model Fords. This a very dangerous defect and not only could someone get injured or stranded but could also be lethal if the gas from the cylinder were to ignite under the hood causing an explosion or engine fire. Something should be done to prevent this.
