2003 FORD E550 Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

I WAS DRIVING MY FORD F150 (51K MILES) THROUGH TOWN WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN BOOM. MY CHILDREN WERE SCARED TO DEATH AND I WAS MORE THAN A BIT CONCERNED. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND ANALYZE THE SITUATION I FOUND THE COIL ON PLUG BLOWN OFF OF THE #3 PLUG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND THE ACTUAL SPARK PLUG HAD BLOWN OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH IT WAS BOUGHT AND REPAIR COSTS WERE IN EXCESS OF $3100. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND FORD SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. WHY ELSE DO YOU CHANGE DESIGNS IN THE NEXT MODEL YEAR VEHICLE? *NM

EVERY TIME THIS VEHICLE ( 2003 FORD EXPEDITION FX4 4X4 ) IS EITHER WASHED, AND OR WHEN IT RAINS, THE TRUCK WILL ATTEMPT TO STALL OUT, IN ANY DRIVING CONDITIONS CITY OR FWY, WHICH MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE FOR I HAVE THIS VEHICLE AND IT STALLED ON THE FAST LANE HWY 15, I HAD FIRST BELIEVED IT WAS A FUEL PROBLEM, DUE TO, IT ACTS LIKE ITS OUT OF GAS, BAD FILTER ETC, WITH THIS TYPE OF TRUCK FORD HAS INSTALLED IGNITION COILS, ONE ON TOP OF EACH SPARK PLUG A TOTAL OF 8, I HAD FORD RECENTLY LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND THEY DID REPLACE #8 COIL DUE TO WATER IN THE SPARK PLUG PORT ( 4-3-06 ), THE PLUG BOOTS DO NOT STOP ANY WATER FROM GETTING INTO THE ENGINE (SPARK PLUGS AND WIRE ASSEMBLY AREA), I HAVE SPOKEN TO FORD SERVICE...

WE OWN A 2003 F250 V-10 TRITON PICK UP. WHILE WE WERE DRIVING THE #3 SPARK PLUG OUT OF THE HEAD. FORD IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WE HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING. I SENT A LETTER TO THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THEY ADVISED THAT WE SHOULD SEND ONE TO YOU ALSO. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. WHAT IF IT HAPPENED WHEN WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 70 MPH AND OUR DAUGHTER WAS IN THE VEHICLE WITH US? THANK GOD WE WERE ONLY GOING 30 MPH AND NO ONE GOT HURT. AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED WE PULLED OVER AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BY OUR WARRANTY SINCE WE HAD PUT...

I BOUGHT A 2003 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY WITH A 6.0 L DIESEL 5/2003. SINCE THE PURCHASE, THERE IS A NOTICABLE LACK OF POWER BELOW 1800 RPMS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS CONTINUALLY ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, BUT ON THE MOST RECENT VISIT, I WAS ADVISED ALL OF THE 6 LITER MOTORS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY ADVISED FORD HAS NOT PROVIDED A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. A CLOSE FRIEND RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2004 6 LITER MOTOR AND IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE HESITATES AT THE START OF ACCELERATION AND HAS PLACED ME IN SEVERAL COMPRIMISING POSITIONS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS ESPECIALLY BAD WHEN I START FROM A STOP. THIS...

FAILURE OF THE CAM POSITIONING SENSOR ON A 2001 F250 7.3 DIESEL PICKUP WITH 35,00 MILES. THE TRUCK STARTED DYING AT STOPS. AND SLOW SPEED. HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART 8 TIMES. LEFT THE TRUCK WITH FORD DEALER FOR 2 DAYS(THEY DROVE IT HOME AND PUT 150 MILES ON TRUCK) NOTHING. PAID $140 FOR 2 HOURS LABOR. NEXT DAY PAID $256 TO GET A NEW CPS INSTALLED AND ONE WEEK LATER NO PROBLEM. THE FORD DIESEL FORUM ON THE INTERNET HAS HUNDRED OF TRUCK OWNERS IN THE SAME BOAT. WE ALL PAY $100 OR MORE AND CARRY A SPARE CPS. NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS AND RECALL THIS ITEM OR PUT FORD ON NOTICE BECAUSE ONE OF THESE DAYS SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. *JB

THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. *JB
