NHTSA Complaint #10816335 — 2004 FORD F-150

MY TRUCK FELT LIKE IT WAS DRIVING REALLY WELL, I WAS DRIVING FROM A TO B WHICH WAS ABOUT 6 MILES. IM ALMOST HOME & I STOP AT A LIGHT,WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I ACCELERATED &WHEN I DID I HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND&SO I PULLED OVER& I COULDN'T PIN POINT EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM,JUST IT WAS COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE ENGINE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. IM GUESSING MAYBE THE 3RD OR 4TH SPARK PLUG. I CHECKED MY OIL I WAS MAYBE 1QUART LOW. SO HOPING THAT WAS IT, I BOUGHT A QUART&SOME OIL REPAIR TO GO IN WITH IT. THE GUY AT AUTOZONE THOUGHT THE SAME. AS U COULD GUESS THAT DIDN'T WORK.IT SOUND ALMOST LIKE A LAWN MOWER.WHICH IS BAFFLING CUZ THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT,NO PRIOR NOISE.I'M LOST.I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT SPITING SPARK PLUGS&A LOT OF THE SAME STUFF HAPPENING IN THESE TRUCKS.I'M WONDERING IF THERE WAS A RECALL? IF NOT WHY? IF THERE ARE COMPLAINTS FROM OVER 1000 PEOPLE SAYING THE EXACT SAMETHING,WHY HUNT FORD DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT?I USE THIS TRUCK TO TAKE MY71 YEAR OLD VIETNAM VETERAN GRANDPA TO HIS DR APPOINTMENTS&USE IT FOR WORK.FROM WHAT I'M READING NO ONE IS GONNA HELP BUT I HAVE TO TRY.PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANY ADVICE OR HOPEFULLY DO THE RIGHT THING & HELP ME WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM.MY# IS [XXX].THANKS.
