All Engine And Engine Coolingexhaust System Complaints
I HAVE A 2003 EXPEDITION 5.4L AND SINCE 2006 TO PRESENT EVERY TWO OR THREE MONTHS I HAVE TO REPLACE A COIL PACK AND SPARK PLUG. NOW SINCE THE COIL PACKS HAVE BLOWN OUT SO MANY TIMES MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS MELTED ON THE INSIDE. *TR
MY 2003 FORD EXPEDITION BLEW A SPARK PLUG OUT OF THE ENGINE TODAY. AFTER READING ABOUT EVENTS LEADING UP TO THIS FAILURE, MY AUTO WAS ACTING EXACTLY LIKE ALL THE OTHERS. A SLIGHT TICKING SOUND WHILE THE ENGINE IDLES. WHILE DRIVING 20MPH, A SLIGHT LOUD BAM OCCURRED AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO IDLE HARD. THE CAR WAS TOWED 70 MILES TO A REPAIR CENTER NEAR MY HOME AND I NOW AM TO DECIDE ON A NEW MANIFOLD OR A COIL REPAIR THAT IS RISKY. HOW A COMPANY CAN OPERATE WITH CRITICAL ENGINE PART THAT ARE SO POORLY DESIGNED IS BEYOND MY IMAGINATION. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH COMPLAINTS OF SPARK PLUGS POPPING OUT OF ENGINES IN F150S AND EXPLORER/EXPEDITIONS. IT IS A SHAME THAT SUCH A SIMPLE THING AS ENGINEERING A THREAD DEEP ENOUGH TO HOLD A SPARK PLUG IN PLACE FOR THE LIFE OF A CAR IS TOO CHALLENGING...
I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOUR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT FROM WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING IT WAS A SPARK PLUG THAT BLEW OUT OF THE ENGINE. BUT SINCE IT WAS ALMOST 5:00 P.M. AND THEY WERE ABOUT TO CLOSE THEY WOULDN'T KNOW ANYTHING UNTIL THEY COULD LOOK AT IT THE NEXT DAY. I DIDN'T DAMAGE THE HEADS BUT IT STILL COST ME OVER $400.00 TO FIX IT. *TR
I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 FORD EXPEDITION TO WORK THIS MORNING AND HEARD A LOUD "POP" NOISE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND I SMELLED GAS FUMES. WHEN I LIFTED THE HOOD, I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE HAD BLOWN A SPARK PLUG. *TR
