On October 31 2014 while visiting family after 350 mile drive my 2007 Ford F-150 XLT super cab 4x4 4. 6l motor made a noise similar to an explosion that was felt in the cab by all passengers. Right after the explosion the truck lost power and sounded like an exhaust pipe had fallen off the motor. There was a strong smell of gas and exhaust but truck was drivable. Brought truck to dealership and was told that 2 spark plugs has blown out and one of the two had taken the threads with it. Advised me that this was very rare and I had to options to fix. One was to re-thread and replace all spark plugs for $899. Second was to replace head at $2100. Told dealership to do the lesser option. Had to leave truck there and obtain a one way rental for 5 people at $300. Have now found out that its not rare and may not be fixed even after the repair. I am glad that this happened on a surface road at low speed and not on the hwy.
2007 Ford f150 4x4 my wife cane home from work and said the rear end was making a sound I went out to look and found the rear housing had broke off at the housing bell and was resting on the axle. In all my life I have never seen this. All people I talk tohave never seen this. I do think this is a defect in the housing. Just wanted to know if this has ever been reported before. If so can any thing be done about it. Can Ford be held responsible for it. Thank god she was not in a wreck. Pickup will only be four years old in Dec.
