I was driving home and all of a sudden there was an explosion under the hood and it sounded like part of the exhaust system gave way. I pulled over and found out that a spark plug had blown out of the head. The only one to ever touch the engine was Ford and that they had replaced a spark plug several years ago. I got on line and found out there are literally thousands of these spark plug ejections. I was wondering if there was a recall on the problem ? the fact that the super-heated air and mixture fuel spraying all over the underneath of the hood is a extreme danger, it would seem that would be a safety recall.
I have a 2001 f150 it has a gas smell from engine .
Vehicle was driven to pick up supplies. After picking up order, driver approached vehicle and noticed smoke coming out of the hood. 911 was called. Fire dept arrived & put out fire in 10-15 minutes. Fire fighter (not investigator) said his guess was a gas leak or faulty cng valve that had a leak. Was vehicle parked? bby.
