Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problems of the 2002 Ford F-150

I blew the 3rd cylinder spark plug out on the passenger side, 2 times in 600 miles while driving at normal highway speeds. This caused raw fuel to leak onto the hot manifold causing a safety issue. I spent 1142. 17 to have this issue repaired.

Exhaust manifolds have developed holes in them. I believe Ford's suppliers provided inferior materials in their casting of the manifolds. This not only offers more pollution to the atmosphere but is a possible fire hazard. My vehicle has been well cared for and has only 37000 original miles. I have vehicles built in the 1950 and their exhaust manifolds continue to function. I believe a recall on these vehicles is in order and Ford motor company should make the necessary repairs at their expense.

Started to hear exhaust noise from engine compartment on my 2002 Ford f150 XLT triton v8 4. 6l with only 95412 miles found that bolts that hold the exhaust manifold were broke and others near breaking at cylinder head there is a danger of fire in engine compartment due to hot exhaust gases and safety issue repair expensive having to remove bolt studs from engine head without doing damage to engine head that are so rusted in.

Driving to work and had to stop at a stop light a few blocks from work. When light turned green I accelerated to go and the car sound like the exhaust manifolds blew off. Parked car and had it towed to a local repair shop. Was notified by the technician that the back passenger side spark plug blew out of the cylinder. Technician repaired by using an insert. I have been doing alot of reading and I am finding out that this a common problem with these motors. Why has their not been an investigation into this matter?.

Leading up to the spark plug being blown out of my Ford F-150 with a 5. 4 l motor, I heard a distinct ticking sound that resembled an exhaust manifold leak. Driving on the highway around 75 miles per hour, two hours into my drive the tick became louder and finally a pop came from under the hood. I then pulled over and left the truck idling. Looking under the hood I see the coil over pack vibrating a lot and then I shut the truck off and unplugged the coil over pack and out came the coil over pack and attached a spark plug. The coil over pack was broken due to the force of the plug being blown out. I am now in the process of towing my truck home which is 3 hours to do the repair necessary to fix the problem. To fix the problem I am looking to install a thread insert in hopes of saving a lot of money. This is the cheaper easier way to fix it for I do not want to replace the head myself nor do I want Ford's investing thousands to replace it.

I was driving and felt and heard a pop in the engine compartment. I pulled off the road thinking it was a tire blow out. Once I got out and checked the tires I started the engine again. It sounded like there was no exhaust manifold. I had to get it towed to a service station. I later found out that it blew out a spark plug out of the head and split the coil and possibly damaged another coil. It has not been repaired yet. I am very dissatisfied with the situation. I have done research and found thousands and thousands of other people having the same problem. Owners of these vehicles should not have to pay out thousands of dollars for a Ford design error.

The contact owns a 2002 Ford f150. While driving approximately 60 mph, the driver suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the engine compartment. She initially thought that the muffler failed. The vehicle did not stall or overheat. She drove the vehicle to a mechanic, who stated that a spark plug blew out due to the aluminum head on the engine. The mechanic performed a healie core and replaced the plug. The vehicle drove normally for over a year before the failure recurred. While driving 65 mph, the contact heard a popping noise coming from the engine. She drove approximately one mile and then had the vehicle towed to the Ford dealer. The mechanic stated that the vehicle had a defective cylinder, which caused it to blow out the spark plugs. The mechanic further stated that it was a very common issue and no recall was available. The contact is waiting for a call back from a Ford supervisor. She believes that Ford should be responsible for the repair. The vehicle has not yet been repaired. The failure mileage was 70,000 and current mileage was 98,000.

Vehicle popped out a spark plug from the #7 cylinder upon starting vehicle. Spark plug was found on the intake manifold, coil still providing spark. Unbrunt fuel mixture was being vented from the cylinder into the engine compartment. I am concerned about fire hazard.

76000 miles Ford f150 4. 2l v6 with a p0174 code replaced intake manifold gasket ,maf sensor. $750 dollars later truck runs fine but was told by the mechanic this will happen again ! first and last Ford I will have .

2002 f 150 v 4. 2l v6 engine. 83000 miles has defective intake manifold gasket that can cause leak of coolant into cylinders causing engine to blow up possibly causing car to become uncontrollable causing a serious accident. Ford has no plans despite receiving numerous complaints.

I was driving in germany road back home when suddenly a hard bang under the hood and then there was a noise like the hole muffler was gone and I lost power, I barly could park my truck on the side of the road on a very dangerous place with a lot of traffic. I had to be towed away, it took 4 hours, next day a garage owner from a bosh workshop put in a replacement insertcoil with a new spark plug. It cost over the 450 euro's to pay in advance whit no waranty.
