Engine problems of the 2006 Ford F-150

The contact owns a 2006 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the spark plugs fractured when a mechanic attempted to remove and replace them. An authorized dealer was notified and informed the contact that he would have to pay additional costs to have the vehicle repaired due to the spark plugs breaking. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 93,000.

I have a 2006 Ford F-150 and upon removing the spark plugs at 60,00 miles, which aren't due to be done until 100,00 miles, the spark plugs broke off in the head. I have been a certified mechanic in the past so I know how to remove spark plugs. Ford should be issuing a recall on this problem. The problem is discussed a lot on internet sites and well documented to be a problem.

While driving down the road the threads in the right rear cylinder head of my 2006 Ford f150 5. 4l triton v8 failed causing spark plug ejection and coil damage. It is currently being towed to the repair shop and, according to the dealership, the whole cylinder head will have to be replaced. It is unknown, at this time, what the dealership will cover and what my expenses will be.

I own a Ford f150 2006 truck. I took the truck in for the 100k service per the factory specs for a tune up/changing of the spark plugs. The spark plugs are defective and build carbon around the bottom and when they are removed, the ceramic bottoms break off into the cylinder of the engine.

I have a 2006 F-150 with 99,000 miles. The engine developed a miss when under heavy load. Checking the scheduled maintenance recommend by Ford, the spark plugs need to be changed at 100,000 miles. I tried to change the plugs myself and broke the first one. I stopped at that point and had it towed to the dealer. They broke five additional plugs and the vehicle was down over night. Ford has issued technical service bulletins on changing the spark plugs. This is a known issue to Ford. When I contacted Ford they said there was nothing they can due since its out of warranty. I was stuck with a $300 labor bill which did not include $75 for spark plugs and $98 for the tow. Ford needs to be held accountable for there engineering mistake.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford F-150. While attempting to replace the spark plugs in the engine, the contact noticed that four of the spark plugs were wedged into the head gasket and could not be removed. The vehicle was not diagnosed and there were no prior warnings. The current and failure mileages was 46,000. Updated 11/08/10 * bf updated 11/10/jb.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford F-150. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle began to shake. The contact exited the highway and noticed that the check engine indicator was illuminated. The contact pulled over to check the fluids and tires, but there was no evidence as to what caused the failure. The vehicle was restarted and began shaking again. The vehicle was taken to a Ford dealer and they stated that a spark plug blew out and ejected itself from the engine, which damaged the cylinder head. The dealer inserted a helical coil to the head of the cylinder, but it was not a full repair. The vehicle was taken to another dealer and they are waiting for her to decide whether or not to break down the engine for further diagnosis. The contact has a warranty that can be used for this repair, but the warranty department is denying this repair. The failure and current mileages were 67,000.

While on interstate entrance ramp, 3 second delay in engine response and nearly rear ended by a semi tractor trailer. Months earlier, Ford dealership upgraded pcm to latest software due to hesitation in throttling (Ford was aware). Engine hard to start at times and it hesitated worst at hard throttle, while attempting to pass or enter highway speeds.

Vehicles misfiring and stubbling during moderate accelerations and cruising when a load is put on motor. ( going up a hill, slight incline and passing).
