2000 Ford expedtion 4. 6, ignition coils failing, dangerous to drive. Ford knows it is a design problem, Ford dealers not warranteeing or replacing the part.
The ignition coil failed twice which resulted in a sudden loss of power while driving 70 mph. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who determined that the ignition coil springs were defective.
On 5-03-03 ignition coil for #7 cylinder failed. I was told that it is unusual to occur on a vehicle with 56,000 miles. On 10-06-03 ignition coil for #6 cylinder failed. I was told that this is highly unusual that this occurs on a vehicle with 63,000 miles. On 10-14-03, I contacted Ford requesting an inspection of this unusual occurrence to prevent any further failure of the ignition coils and was told that they could not help me because I repaired the condition.
The #4 ignition coil pack failed and was replaced. This is a common problem on Ford 4. 6l and 5. 4l engines. I am creating a database of failures from multiple user groups and can confirm multiple (up to five on the same vehicle) failures of this part because of a heater hose that leaks on to the coil pack directly beneath it. Mine failed while accelerating on to a highway, and was almost rear-ended since the truck suddenly lost power being that the #4 cylinder was no longer firing. Since multiple failures have been recorded, Ford should be liable for this as it is clearly a design flaw.
