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
I PURCHASED 4 NEW GOODYEAR FORTERA TIRES 8/2004 AND HAD FREEWAY BLOW OUTS ON 3 OF THE 4 TIRES WITH LESS THAN 15,000 MILES ON EACH TIRE. BLOW OUTS OCCURED 2 IN MAY AND 1 IN JUNE. I REPLACED THE FIRST 2 AGAIN WITH FORTERA TIRES, BUT AFTER BLOW #3 I REQUESTED THAT GOODYEAR PRORATE ALL TIRES SO I COULD REPLACE WITH ANOTHER BRAND BUT THEY REFUSED. GIVEN THIS EXPERIENCE I BELIEVE THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE TESTED AND POSSIBLY RECALLED. THE DEALER COULD NOT DETECT WHY THE TIRES FAILED DUE TO DAMAGE FROM FREEWAY BLOW OUTS AND HAVING TO DRIVE OFF OF THE FREEWAY BEFORE STOPPING.
I HAVE HAD 5 FORD VEHICLES THAT ONE OF THE SPARK PLUGS HAS BLOWN THROUGH THE HEAD OF EACH VEHICLE. 1 F-150,2 F-250, 2 EXPEDITIONS, NO WARNING IN ADVANCE IT JUST MAKES A LOUD BANG AND YOUR DISABLED. $ 3,800 TO FIX EACH ONE. I REALLY NEED TO KNOW IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE I HAVE 6 MORE VEHICLES THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN TO. PLEASE RESPOND.
