Driving to town motor backfired and stalled, speed was about 5 mph. No power steering at the time. Lucky I was pulling up to a traffic light. Mechanic said #4 spark plug blew out of the engine block damaging coil pack and fuel injector. Just bought vehicle not to long ago and now have to spend a small fortune to repair a clear design flaw by Ford motor company. They are not going to recall until they are required to. So much for made in USA quality. Now I just hope the vehicle does not catch fire sitting in my driveway!.

Engine lost throttle control, reduced to idle and then stalled. I coasted off road, and restarted after 2 attempts.

We were experiencing stalls and overall sluggishness and took it to a mechanic who told us we needed a tune up. My husband usually does minor upkeep, thanked the man and was about to take our truck home when the mechanic informed us that the plugs were a bear to change since we would need a special tool and chances are, the plugs would break off. We were skeptical but trusted him to do the job. It cost so much and took so long, we bought a beater car in the interim so we could get to work! and it cost over $1000. . . For a tune up!!! it looks like Ford knows full well about this built in money maker since I see we are in good company with many owners complaining about the exact same issue. Shame on Ford.

The failures occurred over a 3 day period. The motor quit while idling for less than 5 minutes in a restaurant parking lot. Initially, it would not even turn over. However, after several attempts it did re-start. The motor stalled again about 90 minutes later while going 30 miles per hour. While coasting, we turned off the main street (with great difficulty) - the power steering, brakes etc. No longer working. It started after many futile attempts. We headed towards a Ford dealership and the motor stalled again, now on a busy freeway - after multiple attempts, while coasting, the motor did restart. That dealership had the vehicle for 24 hours but found nothing. Their comment: "it is running fine now - it is likely electronic - take it to your local dealer". We left the next day for the 240 mile trip home. We were on a major freeway during "rush hour" extremely congested traffic (due to construction) when the motor stalled once again. We had just merged from 2 lanes to 1 and my husband was able to "muscle the vehicle" into the right lane and onto the shoulder. This time, after multiple attempts, nothing. We were stranded on a major freeway with 2 dogs and endless 65 mph traffic flying by. After unloading our dogs into the midst of this dangerous situation, our 2010 Expedition was loaded onto a flatbed truck to be hauled the 65 miles remaining to our home (and the dealership where we purchased the vehicle). After 3 days of diagnostics found nothing, someone at Ford (detroit) suggested the "wiggle-wire" test before, as a last resort, replacing the computer system. With the engine running, the wires were wiggled until one actually stopped the engine. It had been "crimped", as wires were "merged" from many to a few at the factory, eventually causing a short. The stalling engine could easily have resulted in an horrific accident. And, I am not convinced it is truly "fixed".

#6 spark plug blew out of cyl head. Reinstalled and replaced coil since it broke mount. Put back in service and next plug in bank (#7) blew within 10 miles at approx same speed. When searching the internet this is a common problem with Fords modular engine prior to 04. When they make special tools and inserts to address the problem, Ford should pony up and have the inserts installed at least for the normal life expectancy of the engine.

On two separate occaisions, while driving my 2004 Ford Expedition, a spark plug has been ejected from the engine. One time, at city speeds, a second time at 65 miles per hour. Both times, there was an instant loss of power and the smell of gasoline filled the passenger compartment. After the original failure, I took it to an auto mechanic who replaced the spark plug and installed a replacement coil on plug assembly. I have not yet repaired the second incident as it occurred last night. It seems to me that this is a very dangerous condition that initially didnt seem that significant, but after the tow truck operator said, that he thought there was a recall, it prompted me to research further. His tow service operates in the harrisburg, PA area and he claimed that he sees this happen nearly 1-2x/week with Ford 5. 4l v8 engines. He said, that he's "seen so many of them, that they've got to have a recall.

3rd time we have had a spark plug ejection from the passenger engine head of our 1998 Ford Expedition with a triton 5. 4 litre engine. I owned a Ford f150 and had this same problem twice. I did research and called a few ase master mechanics that are rated as America's #1 and #4 mechanics in the nation, and was told it is the most common problem Fords triton engines have ever had, and they see these problems on a daily basis, yet Ford does not acknowledge the problem. Ford desperately needs to recall these engines, they are a hazard, and the spark plug ejects with explosive power damaging nearby components on it's way out of the engine. Ford refuses to acknowledge this common manufacture defect. To fix this problem new heads need to be installed on the engine. The quick helicoil style sleeve into the stripped spark plug threads has a failure rate of 100%. Again this is a major problem and the magnitude can be seen all over the internet by searching Fords spark plug blowouts. Literally 10's of thousands of forums, and insight in this problem is available online, except support from Ford motor company.
