2 Engine problem

Failure Date: 01/25/2009

While driving 65 mph on the freeway, the spark plug blew out of the engine. Now I am looking for a way to repair this. There is no way to put an new spark plug in the vehicle. I researched this problem online and seems to be a big problem with Ford vehicles.

3 Engine problem

Failure Date: 01/07/2009

Ford 5. 4l spark plugs. I just experienced my third blowout. Luckily, I was close to home and did unplug the fuel injector. Someone less knowledgeable may have driven their vehicle and with unburned gasoline pumping onto a hot engine, with the blownout spark plug near by, thus causing a fire, or worse an explosion. It is my recommendation that Ford be required to replace the cylinder heads on the defective vehicles, at their expense, with their newly redesigned cylinder heads. If the cylinder heads were not defective, they would not have redesigned them!!! does someone need to die in a serious automobile fire, before they are forced to rectify their problem? if they can ask the federal government to bail them out, they can step up and take care of the mess they have created.

4 Engine problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2008

Last year about sept 08. . . My 2000 F-250 10 cylinder p-up started very rough-like. It would not do 50 mph anymore as of that same date. I took it to good-year and to two other garages for estimates as to what went wrong. The 10th valve had stuck. I took it to the dealer and they charged me 4,000 dollars to do a valve job. The truck only had 49k miles on it. The entire rear of the engine required all new plugs and wires.

5 Engine problem

Failure Date: 06/10/2008

Ford 250 truck 5. 4l triton engine while driving the spark plug blew out of the engine.

6 Engine problem

Failure Date: 05/07/2008

Engine spark plug ejection in 200 f250 v-10 engines. Dealer repairing the vehicle, reported that a spark plug detached from the cylinder and/or ejected from the engine. Dealer also noted a letter from Ford stating not to attempt to repair but replace head on engine. This is a extreme problems noting Ford acknowledges the design flaw and needs replacing with newer design that has a longer thread for the spark plug. Gas spews on the engine when spark plug ejects which in turns causes a fire hazard. Does it take a death or an engine to catch fire for someone to notice a problem????? my husband pulled over as soon as he noticed the sound and the smell of gas. It was a good thing that we were not pulling a trailer or on an interstate at the time of the incident.
