Five problems related to gasoline engine have been reported for the 2002 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I own a 2002 F-250 sd truck which has the 5. 4 triton engine in it. On September 28,2007, I was driving down the road and the # 3 spark plug ejected out of the cylinder head in which stripped all the threads in the cylinder head and the spark plug. I have the spark plug. I am having the problem repaired by an independent auto shop. I have done some research on this situation and found this has happened alot from 1998 to 2003. The plugs are tapered and the plugs have 12 threads , but only 4 threads are the cylinder head which means that the spark plug is only held by 4 threads. I believe Ford motor company has an engineering flaw and should be held responsible for the cost of the repairs. Updated 02-13-08 updated 02/13/08.
No warning , the spark plug just blew out of the cylinder head with a loud bang while driving down the road. Ford motor company denied responsibility and placed the blame on one of it's dealers who previously had replace an ignition coil on a different cylinder. Neither party wanted to accept responsibility for the repair cost. This vehicle is used for business purpose and it gets expensive when it is not in service. After a week of phone calls and correspondence between the dealer and Ford and getting no where I had a local mechanic repair the vehicle a my cost.
Consumer states her truck 's engine keep racing even though her foot is on the brakes, it keeps raving as if wants to go, and if you lighten up on the brakes just a little it jumps forward. Ts.
Consumer had the brakes changed two different times, but problem still persists. Dealer has been notified. The vehicle dies while driving due to cam sensor failure. The gas gauge reads 1/2 full after driving 40 miles due to fuel sending unit failure.
