2001 Ford Expedition had its 2nd spark plug blow out this week. There should be a recall.
Spark plug blow out on Ford Expedition. Threads in head stripped causing premature failure.
2001 Ford Expedition eddie bauer with a 5. 4 v8. Sitting at a stop sign, as soon as I pressed on the accelerator to proceed the engine blew the 3rd spark plug on the passenger side. Towed to Ford dealer estimates to fix are 800 for heli coil, 3500 for head replacement.
The spark plug blew out of my 2001 Ford Expedition. I was cranking the vehicle and heard a loud pop and then the motor started popping and shaking. I had to have it towed to the Ford dealer that has handled all my repairs. They claim the aluminum in the head is faulty and there are no threads on the head but the heads on the spark plug are fine. The warranty company claims that they do not cover the threads on the head; just the head itself. Well duh is that not part of the head. I am still fighting with both the dealer and the extended warranty company. I have paid the extra cost for the maintenance and repairs on my vehicle over the years because I wanted the dealer to handle everything just in case something like this did happen and the warranty company could not get out of paying because I didn't have the dealer do the repairs. I expected better than this from Ford. I had every preventive maintenance performed on this vehicle that Ford motor company recommends and it was done by a Ford dealer; plus I have the extended warranty. Either Ford, the dealer or the warranty company should pay for this; because judging from the other complaints that I have seen; they are all aware of the problem!!!!!!!.
Vehicle had been parked for 3 days when it caught on fire. Fire department determined fire started in engine compartment. Vehicle was totalled.
The vehicle erupted in flames upon impact with another vehicle and burned on the shoulder. The fire appears to have started in the engine compartment and then engulfed the passenger area. There is no evidence to suggest that the other two vehicles that were involved caused the consumer vehicle to catch fire.
While driving and without warning vehicle completely shutdown. Vehicle has been to dealer five times, and cause can not be determined. Please give any further details.
