Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problems of the 2001 Ford Expedition

Going to michigan from tennessee, driving on the expressway what's my Ford Expedition trident motor v8 heard a popping sound and almost got in an accident and found out once again the sparkplug blew out of the motor again with my family in the vehiclee it's a 2001 and I think your company should pay for the repairs.

Tl-the contact owns a 2001 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that the vehicle made a popping noise while driving, jerked, and caused the vehicle to lose acceleration. The vehicle was taken to the mechanic a diagnostic was performed, which located the failure at the spark plugs separated from the thread. The failure was experienced several times. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 207,000 and the current mileage was 218,000. Li.

After dropping off my children at daycare I stopped at the store. When I got back into my car and started it, it made a loud pop like something had came off. So I proceeded to turn the ignition on and then smoke came out of the top vents and the truck began making a loud popping noise and the engine was shaking. I was scared as hell and I thought the truck was about to blow up from the sound of it. So I calmed down and drove to the auto shop thankfully down the street. Well my spark plug had blew out the head and that's where the smoke was coming from. I had just replaced the #5 coil and plug with Ford on February 23, 2012 and that was $340. 61. I am barely making it financially and to read all of these problems with this truck and Ford not taking responsibility of the situation is disheartening. I am a single mother of three children and live in an area with no public transportation so I am now without a vehicle and no way to get to work and support my family, now what do I do? its amazing how this dealership can swoop you in and take your money and require you to make your payments on time but won't provide you with a safe vehicle. I now have to get a cab to pick my kids up from daycare because I can't drive my truck, not to mention when you get inside it smells like pure smoke which makes it scary to even wanna turn the thing on. Very frustrated and disappointed.

The contact owns a 2001 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph there was a loud clunking noise heard from the vehicle and the check engine warning lamp illuminated. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred twice before. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic who diagnosed that there was a blown spark plug that needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 125,000 and the current mileage was 130,000.

My vehicle suffered spark plug ejection. Upon pulling away from a stop light, the vehicle made a loud pop or bang and began to lose power immediately. Upon inspection, the coil-over-plug on the number 3 cylinder was broken from the bracket and a loud clanking noise came from the engine in that spot. After unsuccessfully trying to replace the coil, the spark plug came out of the socket without and force or tools. The spark plug came out with the coil. The area had to be rethreaded and repaired but was out of service for close to three months.

Begining in the fall of 2003 my 2001 Ford Expedition with the 4. 6l engine begain to make a ticking sound at start up (when engine is cold). I've had the vehicle in the dealer several times and they have heard the sound, but they have offered no reasonable explanation of the cause or nature of the problem and the potential damage it may cause. There are several service bulletins, including 03256, that noted this problem.
