4 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 11/15/2008

I have experienced the blown spark plug problem with Fords triton 5. 4 liter engine for a second time. My 2003 Ford Expedition blew the # 3 spark plug on November 15, 2008. I am the original owner of this vehicle. The original engine was replaced August 22, 2006 with 86k miles because of the same problem at a cost to me of $5,400. This engine has 53k miles and was installed by koons Ford of annapolis. Although Ford accepts no responsibility for this failure, the dealer assured me that Fords redesigned v8 engine had resolved this issue. It is time for the Ford motor company to take ownership of this problem and at least take care of their customers that have experienced this defect.

5 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2007

My 2003 Ford Expedition blew a spark plug completely out of the cylinder head without warning. This happened while driving at almost 65 mph, and the engine stalled, causing a very dangerous condition. The vehicle had less than 59k miles at the time of the incident. It cost me over $4k to repair, and I now find out that this has happened to thousands of owners with Ford triton motors from 1999 to 2004.

6 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2004

The contact says that his engine is stalling at anywhere from 45-70mph. The engine stalls while he is trying to accelerate. There is no prior warning to the failure. The engine just completly shuts off. It takes it a couple of minutes after the failure for his engine to start up again. The engine is an automatic transmission and it has done this to him at least ten times. Has came very close to having accidents because of this problem because he has know warning to get out of the road.

7 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 04/05/2004

The transmission has failed twice in my Ford explorer, first at about 2500 and now, after a rebuilt engine was installed, at 205,000. As well, I have had differential problems, moon roof issues, paint issues, cracked head, etc.
