My 1999 F-150 5. 4 ltr 4wd started making loud ticking noise @ 39,000 miles. Took truck to burch Ford from whom I purchased vehicle & they diagnosed ticking noise as a bad cat. Cvrtr!!! they also advised me of leaking head gasket from (r)rear head and a repair cost of $3,200 w/ (12 mo. /12,ooo mi. Warranty !!! )on repair. When I picked up vehicle & started engine,the same loud ticking noise (only worse) was still there!!! burch Ford & Ford motor corp refused to even acknowledge problem or warranty their repair. While trying to get assistance, I drove vehicle bare min and aprox. 300 miles after the "repair",the engine blew # 3 spark plug out of (r) head like like a rocket & massive loss of power which nearly left me in direct path of a loaded semi truck !!!(thought I was going be crushed to death). I had truck towed back to burch Ford & they faxed me a estimate of $3,200. More to replace head (now total is $ 6,400. From the two repairs!!!) and in bold print @ bottom of est. Say's . . . . No warranty!!! vehicle needs new engine & neither the dealership or Ford motor corp are willing to ohnor their original repair,or assist in this catastrophic problem that research shows has occuring by the hundreds on 4. 6 ,5. 4 & now many v-10 engines from 1996 to 2004. . . . . . . . (8 yrs. )!!! my truck is my pride & joy & with aprox. 39,000 miles on it,my $ 40,000. 00 ride may be a total loss due to current book value & contraversial $$$$$cost of repair!!! this is my 6th Ford vehicle(all of which were paid off in full 1-2yrs. Early!!!)in the last 9 yrs. I've been a more than loyal Ford customer,. . . But with blatent dissregard for their bread & butter,(loyal Ford customers) Ford seems to be for 8 yrs. Now; grossly and w/o any remorse, far less than a loyal automobile manufacturer !!!. . . Respectfully,. . . J. L.

Truck was brought in for scheduled service and I was informed a head gasket was leaking. This is a vehicle that has been well maintained. I don't believe the engine has ever gone over 3000 rpm, cost to repair $2,200. This is absolutely ridiculous. I was shocked to see how many other people have submitted complaints about the same problem. What does it take to get Ford to take care of this problem?.
