Blown spark plug on my 2000 Ford F-150 5. 4 triton. Known to only have half the required threads in the cylinder head for the spark plug, have had neither compensation or a recall. This is very dangerous as it happened to me towing a boat going on to the interstate. Destroyed the plug, the coil pack (cop style) and the intake elbow of my after market intake system. Over $600 in damages.
Was driving on freeway Ford f150 pickup engine blow out the #1 spark plug, second 6 mths ago same engine blow out the #4 rear spark plug near passenger, now have to replace engine very costly.
Ford triton 5. 4l v-8 heads. Aluminum heads are so poorly engineered that they will not retain the spark plugs under normal loads. Over $5,000 in repair costs, Ford refuses to acknowledge any problem.
The passenger side rear spark plug blew out of the engine head. This truck has 54,000 miles on it and is very well maintained. Repair estimates are in excess of $3,000. 00. This happened in a well traveled area and it was me and not my wife and kids stranded. There is an obvious flaw in the head design that Ford has since rectified. It is outrageous that a $30,000 truck that is well maintained should have this kind of failure 18,000 miles out of factory warranty.
Spark plugs threads strip and shoot plug out.
My truck displays an idle vibration throughout the chasis, I have had it to the dealer 5 times and they have no fixed it, and now are saying that it is normal.
