I purchased a 2011 Ford F-150 4x4 with around 41,000 miles on it from texas direct auto, on 08/18/14 with an existing warranty on it. On the morning of 09/24/14 while driving to work, I heard a loud noise and smoke starting coming out of my ac vents, hood and exhaust pipe, as well as losing power to the truck and shaking really bad. I was able to get off the freeway to park it. The truck is still under power train warranty, so I towed it to joe myers Ford, houston ,TX down the street. Long story short, I was told the motor blew and on 10/2/14 joe myers Ford is denying the warranty because I do not have service maintenance records, then I was told it was due to abuse. Joe myers Ford quotes me $10,500 to install a new motor. Texas direct auto where I purchased it, was not helping me out as well. The Ford truck has a 3. 5l v6 dir dohc 24v (ecoboost) motor. I know that NHTSA is/was investigating on these motors. I can not afford a $10,500 motor plus a paying for a $29,000 truck note.

My 2011 Ford F-150 ecoboost 3. 5 was idling at a red light then suddenly began a very rough idle. This went on for about twenty minutes ( on and off) then cleared up . We took the truck to the local dealership and had them look at it . They did a service order and came up with nothing wrong. We took the truck home and the problem remained. The truck was taken back 4 or 5 more times for the same problem and the dealership could never find a problem. While driving the vehicle on the highway and attempting to pass slower moving cars, the truck hesitated and sputtered when the gas pedal was depressed. A month ago the engine started making a noise after a cold start and then lately a louder noise from time to time in the passenger side front area of the valve cover. Then the truck just stopped on me while on the highway . I had it towed to the dealer and now we are talking about a new engine? what the ????? it has 50k and the oil was changed regularly, but the dealer is saying there is sludge in the oil which was changed less than 2000 miles ago. The timing chain is stretched, the intake cam vtc is broken and based on all of the other similar post I've been reading about this same issue they have revealed that the rod and cam bearings are also more than likely prematurely worn, requiring a new engine to repair the damage.

Originally factory installed sparkplug blows out of the engine head traveling at approximately 35 mph. This was disclosed after taking vehicle to a Ford dealership for diagnostics as there was a loud noise while engine running and loss of power. Repair cost was $617. Discussion with dealer discloses that this a well know problem by Ford management, a tbs has been issued. Further Ford has denied any responsibility and will not provide any monetary assistance. This is a Ford created design engineering defect that Ford just ignores and let's the customer pay for its mistake. Customer is subject to cost of repair that is far from normal wear and tear, a safety concern of fire in engine compartment from raw fuel blown out of the hole vacated by sparkplug, a reliability issue and a safety concern from sudden loss of power. This problem should be covered by a federal mandated recall since Ford is making this a consumer problem ignoring the fact that it is a engineering, design or manufacturing problem for which it refuses to accept responsibility. In addition the trade in value of this vehicle will be reduced by the Ford dealership that is aware of the problem evan for the customer that did not encounter a sparkplug blowout and at private sale if prospective buyer checks on vehicle via any internet automotive site. Again Ford lets consumer absorb cost of defect it created.

My vehicle is equipped with the 3. 5 liter ecoboost 6 cylinder engine. Upon attempting to pass a vehicle while traveling at freeway speeds, the vehicle began to hesitate and the engine felt rough. The vehicle refused to accelerate, causing me to swerve back into the right lane to avoid being rear-ended by a vehicle traveling in the left lane. After approximately 30 - 60 seconds, the vehicle would accept throttle and resume normal operation. This problem has repeated itself on multiple occasions and my vehicle is currently at the dealership for the 7th time to remedy this problem. In only one instance of the many that I've had, I did get a check engine light on. Fortunately, this was documented by the Ford dealership as one entire bank of cylinders misfiring. Additionally, I have been complaining of transmission shift issues, where at slow (less than 10 mph) speeds, the transmission often 'hunts' between two gears and once selected, a loud noise emanates from under the vehicle and causes the vehicle to noticeably jerk I only learned of NHTSA pe13018 on 1/28/15. The first incident yielded installation of the deflector in the vicinity of the charge air cooler. Another incident yielded a TSB to remove the deflector, and most recently another TSB to re-install said air deflector. In every instance of this problem, I've had to execute emergency maneuvers to avoid traffic accidents. The service manager at my local Ford dealership has commented that Ford engineering has no clue how to remedy this issue. My vehicle currently has approximately 75,000 miles on it and is covered under Ford's extended warranty.

I was driving on a highway at 55 mph in my 2004 Ford 150 when I heard a loud noise from the engine. Found a spark plug had been completely blown out of the engine.

I have a 2001 Ford f150 crewcab truck. On my way home from work, my vehicle started making an awful noise and the truck instantly started working rough. I pulled over and turned off the truck. My husband came to check on me and when we popped the hood and when I turned on the truck he saw the spark plug coming out of the cylinder. I have yet to have the mechanic look at it. After reading up on this, I see this is a recurrent problem on Ford trucks. I do not understand why nothing has been done regarding this matter. I simply do not have the funds available to pay for this if it is a major repair job nor do I have the means to purchase another vehicle due to the current economic state and were barely getting by as it is. I want something to be done and this issue with Ford investigated further. It is a design flaw and this is getting ridiculous. Do someone have to die in order for something to be done. Thank god I did not pick my kids up yet . Thank god I was just starting off from a light and hadn't even got back up to 20 mph. Thank god it happens to me and not my husband that drove out to orlando today and was going to use my truck. He would have been severely hurt or worse if this occurred at 70+mph. I have read that this could cost in the thousands and when I get an estimate I will update this matter further. Something has to be done, there are no more excuses.

Event. . I was driving west bound on the 215 freeway in las vegas, nv. Exiting durango road. I sat at the intersection waiting for the signal light to turn green. When the light turned green, moving forward, I was making a left hand turn going (10mph) south bound on durango road, just at that time I herd a loud pop noise. As I was pulling over, my truck (f150) was running rough, I stopped, put it in park , shut the engine off, opened the hood and there sat a coil pack including the spark plug on top of the motor. After evaluating the incident more, I notice that the coil pack and spark plug came from the passenger side engine head #three (3) cylinder. My truck has the original motorcraft spark plugs in it since 2002. Not sure why the spark plug would just pop-out. Nice job Ford!! Ford manufactures the motor (triton 5. 4l) and the motorcraft spark plugs? seems very simple whose responsibility this is. Repair costthe repair shop is estimating $2,500. 00 head repair or new engine at approximately $6,500. 00 inc. Labor. Questiions. . How is the consumer going to know prior to the spark plug popping out, to secure it? why are the spark plugs popping out? not enough threads? how do the executives at Ford sleep at night knowing that this problem could take someones life at any time? personal comment. . When the spark plug or the coil pack was ejected from the engine head, this could have hit the fuel rail and started a tremendous fire, like a lot of people in the us we dont always carry a fire extinguisher because an !@#$% spark plug is going to pop out of the engine head and start the truck on fire. This is ridiculous!!!! Ford motor company needs to own up to there mistakes before somebody looses there life. I am not the suing type of person, but if one of my kids looses there life driving my truck because of a spark plug problem and Ford motor company did not tell me about it, I am afraid to tell you what I would do. This is not a threat just reality.

I own a 2002 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 with a trition 5. 4l v-8. I went out to start it this morning and I heard a loud noise that sounded like a shot went off. Then my truck started shaking and making a chugging noise. I shut it off and opened the hood and found that one of my spark plugs just blew out of the engine. It broke the coil and stripped out the threads where the spark plug goes. I had to have it towed to a mechanic and it cost $503. 83 for the repair. The mechanic told me this was a common problem with the trition engines. I went online and did some research and found many complaints of the same subject. I think Ford needs to issue a recall to fix this problem.

My Ford-150 pick-up started making a small noise for a few days. I went out to start my truck and it no longer was a small noise but one big loud noise. I had my oil and plugs changed on October 15, 2008. Upon raising the hood I found that one of the spark plugs had blown out from where it was suppose to be. The plug looked like it was the old one and that made me think that they had not changed my plugs. The truck was towed to the dealer and he informed me that the plug was one of the new ones but that the head hid blown the plug out. (I hope I am saying this right). The service manager told me that there had been a lot of problems with this happening to the Ford trucks but that no recall had ever been issued. It seams that there is some weak spots due to the metal not being strong enough to hold the plugs in. I have been researching this problems and there are a lot of people complaining about this same situation.

On 10/5/08, driving near home, slow speed, heard a loud noise from under the hood, lost power. Determined that the 4th spark plug on drivers side had unthreaded from engine, damaging coil. On attempt to replace with new spark plug, learned that the cylinder head threads were damaged (stripped). 76,000 miles, spark plug had never been removed, was original from Ford factory.
