#757541 | February 1, 2002

THE #4 IGNITION COIL PACK FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON FORD 4.6L AND 5.4L ENGINES. I AM CREATING A DATABASE OF FAILURES FROM MULTIPLE USER GROUPS AND CAN CONFIRM MULTIPLE (UP TO FIVE ON THE SAME VEHICLE) FAILURES OF THIS PART BECAUSE OF A HEATER HOSE THAT LEAKS ON TO THE COIL PACK DIRECTLY BENEATH IT. MINE FAILED WHILE ACCELERATING ON TO A HIGHWAY, AND WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED SINCE THE TRUCK SUDDENLY LOST POWER BEING THAT THE #4 CYLINDER WAS NO LONGER FIRING. SINCE MULTIPLE FAILURES HAVE BEEN RECORDED, FORD SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR THIS AS IT IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW. *AK
