The contact owns a 2002 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while stopped, the contact was unable to shift the vehicle out of park. The contact stated that the vehicle was diagnosed by his step-son. The contact was informed that the cylinder valve needed to be replaced. The contact called skyline Ford located at 2510 commercial st se, salem, or 97302, (503) 581-2411, and the dealer was informed of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of failure. The failure mileage was 150,000.

This is follow up assessment to my 9/22/2019 claim # 11257244 - where I found myself in a very dangerous vehicle run away situation that resulted in a rear end accident with another vehicle. My mechanic's first observation when turn ignition key, the engine raced at full throttle out of control. After quickly shutting down engine the symptoms lead my mechanic to test the idle air control valve. Having never seen this dangerous symptom from a bad iacv, he continued to do further test on the iacv only to determine the part was indeed defective. After diagnosing the problem, the defective iacv part was quickly replaced. The engine is now running good again.

Spark plug blew out of head.

Spark plug blow out on a 2002 F-150 with only 47k miles on the truck. This truck is not a work truck, but an every day truck. I do not haul a lot, and have treated this truck with a lot of care. It will cost me $1100 to get fixed. This design flaw should of had a recall on it.

I was driving on the highway home. All of a sudden a loud bang happened under the hood that was followed by a constant puffing sound. The truck lost power and started missing. All I could smell was gasoline. I pulled over to find a coil on plug sitting on top of engine, also had a spark plug sitting 7 inches away from cop. I was visited the Ford dealership and was told that plugs are known to have come out of the engine and was not a new problem. They told me that Ford was not fixing this problem, but had a Ford approved way to fix the problem. The cost would be around 500 dollars for insert and around 3500 dollars for new heads witch is the only guarantee that this would prevent this from happening again. Ford plans not to recall this problem, they are fully aware that this heads has 4 threads holding the plug in, when they come lose the threads are destroyed from the pounding caused by the compustion process. This very dangerous, coil spark can ignited fuel sprayed in the engine compartment causing fire, lose of control and personal injury or death, depending on the circumstance. I have a family and they could have been seriously injured when this happened. Please do something to make this from happening to any one else, and before someone loses their life. The coil on plug os located under the fuel rail and has enough force to damage the fuel rail cause it break and spill gasoline all over the engine, which could cause an explosion. I had a insert installed and a new plug inserted was told there is no guarantee the spark plug would stay in.

I noticed a tapping sound coming from my engine approximately 2 days before I ejected (blew out) a spark plug while cruising at approximately 55 mph. I checked my oil the day before the blow-out and the oil level was fine. I was traveling on business at the time and fortunately I was able to limp to a hotel a couple of miles down the road. I had my truck towed to a repair shop and had to pay $800. 00 to have the problem repaired. When I asked the mechanic what caused the spark plug to blow out, he simply replied that it happens a lot with "these Ford engines".

On my way to a wedding I noticed the rpms kick up. I pushed button on trans selector and problem went away (for now). Was parking truck and found I had no reverse. Monday took truck to dealer , mechanic could not find anything wrong till he opened cup transmission. Mechanic found weld on sun shell broken. Called Ford no help. Spring hill Ford put a rebuilt trans in truck.
