My 2000 Ford F-150 with 5. 4 trident engine blew a spark plug out of the cylinder head. I had no problems before this. I understand this happens to hundreds of 5. 4 engines. There are no recalls for this defect. Can anything be done about this motor?I cannot afford the $3000. 00 repair bill. Ford knows about this but will not do anything about it.
I heard a little tap thought maybe it could be an exhaust leak then a day latter my truck sounded like a lawn mower. A spark plug came out took it to the shop had to replace the heads.
While driving to work at 50 mph;I heard a loud bang followed by the sounds of a large exhaust leak. When I opened the hood to find spark plug,coil,and boot ejected from #5 cylinder. I had it towed to the dealership that I have my service performed at. I bought this truck used back in July of 2003 and have it serviced on time,all the time. The truck has a little over 51,000 miles on it. I believe this to be a defect from the factory and that Ford motor company should have to repair this because it is a defect. The dealership tell me that is going to cost me approx. $3000 to repair . That will consist of new heads ,coil packs,spark plugs ,gaskets and of course labor. I asked them why did this occur and no one will give a reason why.
I own a Ford lightning pick up truck that recently blew a spark plug out of the diver side cylinder head. This was caused by insufficient engagement of the spark plug in the cylinder head, an engineering oversight that needs to be fixed.
Spark plug ejected from the motor while driving approximately 15 mph. Resulted in drastic loss of power and extremely loud exhaust leak noise.
Exhaust fumes seep into cab causing consumer to fall asleep. Consumer fell asleep once and woke up after hitting a guardrail. Leak was so bad that consumer has to leave window cracked to drive. Dealer found leaks in joint of the pipe. Vehicle has been to dealer 5 times, and muffler was replaced to help back up.
