I keep having major issues with my truck ejecting spark plugs from the engine which is breaking not only my spark plugs but my coil pack as well. This is rediculious. The first time I was at a light at a dead stop when I hear a loud banging noise like something exploded then my truck started running rough and had to get it towed. It stranded us 45 minutes from home. The second time was two days ago on March 18 I was driving through a drive thru again at a dead stop and heard a loud noise and had the same issue. Again my spark plug was ejected and coil pack broken. The first time was in cylinder 1 and was repaired then one month later the next time cylinder 2 ejected. 5 minutes after it was repaired and had new plug and coil pack it again ejected. Im upset because I can no longer drive my truck. If Ford doesnt fix this I willnever purchase another Ford. Now it is useless sitting in my garage takin up space.
There has been no incident as yet but the frame of this vehicle has such extreme corrosion that certified mechanics are reluctant to work on this vehicle since they are concerned about a failure occurring at connection point where the steering and suspension connects to the frame of the vehicle. Their concern is a loss of control of the vehicle if any of the steering or suspension connection points fail due to the severely corroded frame. This is not surface corrosion, the metal is flaked and separated and it is the entire frame of the vehicle. I had just spent $4,000 to replace the entire exhaust system from the exhaust manifold back to the tail pipe and the mechanic is warning me about the safety of the suspension and steering components because of the extreme corrosion. The vehicle only has 77, 000 original miles and has never been in severe weather conditions.
2000 ford f150 developed a problem with the radio equipment.*mr *nm
on 11/1/08 i was driving and heard loud pop from my engine. upon further investigation i saw that the spark plug in the seventh cylinder of my 2002 f150 5.4 triton had blown out of the head and broke the coil. this was preceded by a ticking noise that almost sounded like a exhaust manifold leak. i personally changed my plugs at 100,000 miles and the truck currently has about 125,000 miles on it. while on the internet researching the problem i realized that i'm not alone and this is a nation wide problem with the f150. at this point my truck is sitting in the driveway because the dealership is charging at least $2000 dollars to replace the head. i am researching a cost effective alternative to replacing the parts at this time. *tr
tl* the contact owns a 2001 ford f150. while driving 30 mph the cable that holds the spare tire fractured. as a consequence a component under the vehicle was bent, and the spare tire separated from the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and he was advised that he ineligible for a free remedy because the warranty expired. the failure mileage 172,000.
i was on the interstate 30 east bound just east of downtown fort worth traveling at 55 mph in my 2009 f 150. i began accelerating to overtake a slower vehicle. the throttle stuck at what seem to be a wide open position, i had passed the car and let off the gas and pressed the brake 3 times before for the truck stopped accelerating and i had reached a speed of 95 mph before i was able to get the truck back under control. it seemed like the throttle was stuck for around 10 seconds, which was a very scary 10 seconds. i just finished reading a few forums where the dealership said it was the rubber floor mats that caused the problem. well i have not put floor mats in my truck so that was defiantly not the cause of the problem. *tr
