Engine Rattling And Whining Sounds problems of the 2008 Ford F-150

On April 5, 2016, while driving my 2008, f150, triton, 4. 6, about 45 mph, on a two lane, back country road, a sudden rattling and popping noise occurred. I immediately pulled over, popped the hood, whereas smoke and the rattling noise continued. I turned off the engine and had the vehicle towed to the Ford dealership 5 miles away. I have 113,600 miles on my vehicle and purchased it from a carmax dealer in December 2013, with 81,160 miles, having experienced (no problems thus far). I was told by the Ford dealership that my #3 sparkplug had caused the mechanical issue and all plugs needed replacing. Additionally replacement of right side engine issues resulted from not having done the 100000 mile tune up (bull). It had been tuned up previous to being sold. After using choice words towards the dealer and advising him of my ownership of 3, larger v8 engines, no sparkplug explosions had ever occurred in my life. All my former vehicles with the exception of my 2008 f150 had never experience such sparkplug explosion issues and these vehicles reached close and over 200,000 miles. My vehicle is still under warranty but does not cover this issue, nor was the Ford manufacture helpful in assisting with this matter. The total cost for repairs is $1295. 00, and my fight with Ford has just begun.

I was travelling on the I-74 from cincinnatti to indianapolis when there was a loud pop and then a fluttering sound before the engine power failed. I was left in a vulnerable place in the pouring rain with two horses on a trailer. When taken to pearson Ford it was determined that a spark plug had blown out - despite repair the engine is still making a rattling noise and I am currently being quoted $thousands to investigate and repair what is believed to be fragments of the aluminimum thread that have fallen into the cylinder - this is Ford's design fault and they are currently unwilling to stand behind their brand and put this right.
