Started vehicle and began to drive when spark plug flew out of engine again. This is the third time this has happened and Ford won't do anything about it. They claim that there is no problem when hundreds of people have had this happened. Very costly, time consuming, and stressful. This should never happen and Ford should take responsibility.
I pulled my Ford Expedition 2002 into a gas station, turned off the engine, and got out to pump gas. I began to notice that everyone else began frantically leaving and telling me to run. I saw smoke coming from my hood and assumed that it was just running hot but soon realized that the engine was off. Within seconds I began to see flames and ran in fear that the entire gas station was going to explode. Luckily fire trucks came within a minute a put the flames out and no one was harmed.
While driving I heard a pop and learned that the #3 spark plug popped out of the engine at 174k miles. This was the 2nd time it has happened on my 02 Expedition as it also happend at 158k miles.
My 2002 Ford Expedition experienced an electrical malfunction due to a liquid build up in its system. The dealership said they could not determine how the moisture was entering the vehicle. The audio system and windshield wipers would not operate in the reverse or drive positions. The vehicle was returned to the dealership twice, on the last occasion, a small fire started, resulting in the starter being burned up. No injuries occurred, but the dealership charged me $1065. 70 on the first repair bill, and 335. 00 on the second repair bill. An explanation or sensible solution was not given for correcting the problem.
