In 2006, I changed plugs at 95,000 miles as a tune up. Six months later, while driving on the freeway, the #8 spark plug was ejected. Had it towed home, checked the threads and replaced the plug and coil. On April 6, 2017, at 134,000 miles, the same plug was ejected while driving on city streets again. This time I had to have it towed to a shop to install a helicoil repair. They warned me that the next failure would require a head removal, and significant cost. This is a very weak point in this design, Ford should be held accountable.

I was backing out of my driveway and one of my sparkplugs blew out of the hole. I had to bring it to the shop where they retapped the hole and installed a new spark plug for a total of 275. 00.
On the 2000 Ford F-150 with the 4. 6 liter engine, a failure of the threads in their aluminum cylinder heads causes the spark plug and coil-over-plug to become dislodged and threads stripped. The cylinder head requires major repairs to become serviceable once more. A simple steel sleeve (like a "big-sert") installed at the factory would probably solve the problem and save major problems for the consumer later. Also, if this failure were to happen while vehicle were in motion, the spark plug coming in contact with the fuel rail or an injector and still firing could cause a catastrophic loss and potential accidents, injury, or even death.
