2002 f250 super duty lariat with 80,350 miles and original factory installed plugs lost a sparkplug on passenger side of motor on 8/22/2010, 183 miles from dealer(who sold me an after market "extended" warranty. I paid $300. 00 plus to have truck trailered back to the dealer and have incurred other expenses now that we are going on over a week since the problem! I don't have any faith in the vehicle now and am not going to be overly surprised at what this situation has done to the trade-in value of, what was, a beautiful truck. Ford says "won't help" and warranty people say "won't help; not a lubricated part". Asking for letters to that effect from both company's for my "personal use"!!!.
Spark plug blowout while driving on 5. 4 liter triton motor with 48,000 miles factory installed spark plugs. Ford motor dealer contacted. Refused to accept responsibility. Mechanic made shop repair by pulling intake and installing insert to number 3 cylinder. $1000. 00 dollar repair, potential fuel ignition from motor, escaping fuel mix combined with coil spark present during failure.
Spark plug blew out after stopping for red light. Shut off engine, popped the hood and there was a small fire under the hood. I was able to put the fire out quickly with my shirt. Cop was damaged, tried to re-install plug, but the threads in the head were stripped. I was able to just snug the plug down enough to get me home. About . 5 mi. I was stopped in the middle of the road with traffic going around me both directions.
2002 Ford f250 with a triton v8 5. 4l engine had the spark plug blown out of the cylinder head and destroyed the ignition coil. Apparently this is an extremely common problem and Ford is unwilling to do anything. Cost of repair is $1100. 00. Could potentially start a fire as fuel air mixture escape the cylinder the coil was sparking against the engine and this could have started a fire. The original factory plugs were installed in the engine, and the engine has never been serviced by anyone except the Ford dealership.
Vehicle stalls intermittently. Occurs often in intersections when taking off. Creates a very dangerous situation. The same year, make, model number and engine type have been recalled, however, our VIN was not included so Ford will not honor.
Ford F-250 5. 4 l while driving low speed, heard loud pop in engine compartment, spark plug ejected from head. Discovered that this is a common occurrence with aluminum head engines, esp Ford 1989 through 2005 4. 6 and 5. 4 liter engines. Problem is the result of 5 thread depth in head instead on new spec of 7. Preventive measures, remove plugs, clean carbon from threads, reinstall plug, torque to required foot pounds. Why Ford or dealer doesn't tell you this is criminal. That's why I now drive a Toyota.
: the contact stated at various speeds, without warning, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle restarted occasionally. When the vehicle would not restart, a new camshaft position sensor was installed. The vehicle has not been inspected by a mechanic and the problem persists.
2002 Ford F-250 ,5. 4 litre triton motor. Original dealer installed spark plug blown out of aluminum head becuase of a lack of thread engagment. Cost of repair $3,200.
#2 spark plug blown out of head while driving. Spark plug threads in head stripped out causing plug to blow out and damage coil. Truck was taken to dealer for diagnosis, dealer had to install a helicoil in head at location #2.
#3 spark plug blew out of the head. First happened in 2004 Ford service acted like he never saw it before and didn't know a solution . I had a heli coil installed, it happened 3 more times before the last time, I had all plugs heli coiled . Well when #3 blew out again on 4-14-07 and could not be repaired again. I was told the entire engine should replaced as previous problems had caused excessive cylinder wear. It was being done today. Total out of pocket $ 7,000 plus 16 lost days of work rental fees.
Driving my 2002 Ford F-250 w/a 5. 4l triton engine with 80k miles, #3 cylinder spit out its spark plug and strips threads . Vehicle stalled, brought to Ford dealer and incurred $3,800. 00 engine repair. This is absolute bs!, Ford is well aware of thousands of these defective cylinder heads, as they profit from this very expensive repair ($3,800. 00). My complaint is that there ought to be a recall as there are thousands of victims of this defective Ford product. It's a safety issue, I stalled on a major highway and the sparkplug is right under my fuel rail. Please don't tell me this is another ineffective/costly government agency, surely the NHTSA is doing something about this well known defect.
Vehicle has stalled 12 times at various speed. Vehicle was taken to dealer twice, could not find cause of problem.
The vehicle stalled on 5 different occasions, numerous parts was replaced, however the vehicle continued to stall, also a faulty brake relay switch was replaced.
The vehicle would stall intermittently when coming to a stop. Ph dealership recalibrated the pcm and installed a flight recorder. However dealership had no knowledge of how to read the flight recorder and problem still existed. Manufacturer not willing to do anything. Consumer has retained an attorney.
