Engine and engine cooling, Mar 1, 2011, fire
OUR 2007 F150 INTERMITTENTLY LOSSES POWER UNDERLOAD, STUMBLES, BUG DOWN AND STALLS. WE HAD A VERY HORRENDOUS EXPERIENCE THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WE ALMOST GOT WIPED OUT BY AN 18-WHEELER TRACTOR BECAUSE OF EXTREME DIFFICULTY MANEUVERING BACKWARDS DOWNHILL WITH STALLED ENGINE, NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES. OTHER DRIVERS WERE SO IRATE BECAUSE WE BECAME ROAD HAZARD AT THAT MOMENT IN TIME. MY HUSBAND KEEP ONTRYING TO START THE ENGINE AND LOTS OF SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE DASH. HE IMMEDIATELY OPENED THE HOOD AND ISOLATED THE BATTERY. A CERTIFIED MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT WE SHOULD ADDRESS THE IGNITION SPARK PLUG PROBLEM DUE TO THE SYMPTOM AND MILEAGE OF THE TRUCK. WE THEN FOUND OUT THAT #4 FIREWALL-PASSENGER SIDE SPARK PLUG WAS BROKEN (SPECIALTY TOOLING ROTUNDA AND CAL CANNOT REMOVE IT). GOT LUCKY ON THE OTHER 3 SEPARATED ONCE THE TOOLS MANAGED TO REMOVE THEM. IT NEEDS $1000-$3300 TO RECTIFY THE DAMAGE DONE BY THE BAD PRODUCT DESIGNED MOTORCRAFT SPARK PLUGS. FORD DENIED HELP ON POTENTIAL REPAIR BILL DUE TO WARRANTY LAPSE. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED NOT TO NEED ANY TUNE UP EXCEPT FILTER/OIL CHANGES PRIOR TO 100,000 MILES. AT THE PRESENT WE GOT ROB OF OUR ONLY "RELIABLE?" MOBILITY.HOWEVER FORD CREDIT KEEPS COLLECTING FROM ME TO PAY FOR A DEAD HORSE. FORD HAD FULL AWARENESS OF THE CANCER IN THESE SAID ENGINES BUT FAILED TO NOTIFY THE F150 OWNERS. FOR THE SAFETY OF BOTH MOTORISTS AND PEDESTRIANS ALIKE, DOES THIS VERY SERIOUS DRIVEABILITY PROBLEM WARRANTS AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION AND RECALL. THE PROBLEM STARTED OCT 2010, NOV 2010 WE THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS SO WE KEEP CHANGING FUEL FILTERS, THEN DEC 22, 2010 IT DIED ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

DRIVING ALONG, HEARD A BANG, SMELLED VERY STRONG SMELL OF FUEL, TRUCK STARTED BACKFIRING AND VIBRATING SO MUCH IT WAS HARD TO CONTROL, FORWARD MOTION SLOWED RAPIDLY, VIBRATION, ATTEMPTED TO PULL THE TRUCK OVER ACROSS 4 LANE OF TRAFFIC, OPENED WINDOWS AS THE SMELL OF FUEL WAS CHOKING EVERYONE IN THE CAB. STOPPED TRUCK, ENGINE RUNNING VERY ROUGH AND HAD STRANGE NOISE, UNABLE TO LOCATE. EVENTUALLY FOUND RIGHT REAR MOST SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF HEAD (LEAVING METAL THREADED PART AND BASE IN HEAD), CONTACTED DEALER "BIG FORD, VANCOUVER, WA" AND "COURTESY FORD, PORTLAND, OREGON" BOTH CLAIM THE "FLEX FUEL ENGINES HAVE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SPARK PLUGS SEPARATING, STICKING IN THE HEAD, AND/OR EXPLODING OUT OF THE HEAD" THE ALSO STATED THE FORD WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL WAS TAKING PLACE AS THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AS OF YET (THE TRUCK ENGINE IS DAMAGED, STILL SMELLS LIKE FUEL INSIDE THE CAB, PLUGS, COIL, AND INJECTOR HAVE BEEN CHANGED, DEALER WOULD NOT HONER "BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY" THIS ISSUE WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A GREAT NUMBER OF DEATHS AND OR INJURIES AND THE FUEL ISSUE COULD LIKELY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION (EVEN IN MY VEHICLE AFTER THE REPAIRS)(DEALERS WANTED BETWEEN $2,000.00 AND $6,000.00 TO EXTRACT THE SPARK PLUG BASES AND STATED REPEATEDLY IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE AND IT WAS "NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTLY"

MY TRUCK WAS GIVING HESITATION GOING UP HILLS AND I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH FORD (MIND YOU THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT ON) BUT BEFORE I COULD GET IT LOOKED AT THE SPARKPLUG BLEW OUT OF IT AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE A WARRANTY FORD IS TELLING ME IT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE I DROVE IT THAT WAY LIKE I WAS SUPPOSE TO KNOW THE PLUG WAS LOOSE AS HE SAYS. THE GARAGE HAS THE OPTION OF HOW THEY WORD IT TO DETERMINE IF IT IS COVERED AND THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN TO ME WHEN I TOLD THEM THERE WAS NO WARNING. ALL THEY SAID IS I DROVE IT THAT WAY FOR SO LONG THAT IT WAS MY PROBLEM. *TR
Service brakes, Hydraulic, Engine and engine cooling, Dec 22, 2010
AT SLOW SPEEDS, 5 TO 10 MPH, AND WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO BRAKE FOR A STOP, THE ENGINE CAN REV TO 1750 TO 2000 RPM, PROHIBITING YOUR STOP, POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. A HARD BRAKING ACTION IS NECESSARY OR SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL IS REQUIRED. AFTER DISCUSSING THIS COMPLAINT WITH ANOTHER FORD TRUCK OWN, WE'D DECIDED THAT OUR RIGHT FOOT WAS NOT ONLY ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT ALSO THE GAS PEDAL SIMULTANEOUSLY. BOTH ARE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF EACH OTHER, WHICH PROVIDES FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. I'D SUGGEST A DESIGN CHANGE, TOWARD FORD, SEPARATING THE TWO PEDALS SLIGHTLY IN A BETTER ATTEMPT TO AVOID THIS FROM HAPPENING. I'M SORRY FOR THE FORM SUBMISSION, BUT IT WAS IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT A SOMETHING I'D THOUGHT WAS A REAL ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I WOULD REPLACE ALL OF THEM, BUT THE FORD DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED NOT TO BECAUSE THEY SAID THESE PLUGS BREAK OFF WHEN TRYING TO REMOVE THEM AND THEN TEND TO BLOW OUT OF THE ENGINE AFTER REMOVING AND REPLACING THEM. THEN, I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND READ ABOUT THE HORROR STORIES ABOUT THESE FORD SPARK PLUGS.

AT 33K MILE MY 2007 F 150 WITH THE 5.4 LITER ENGINE HAD ENGINE FAILURE. THE ENGINE FAILED AS A RESULT OF A KNOW PROBLEM THAT FORD HAS WITH A BACK OF THE 5.4 LITER ENGINE HAVING TO MUCH END PLAY ON THE CAM SHAFT. AS A RESULT THE ENGINE WAS STARVED FOR OIL AND FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRIP. THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO 0 WHEN THE ENGINE WAS FULL OF OIL. FORD'S SUGGESTION IS TO ONLY REPLACE HEADS WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THE ENGINE WAS STARVED FOR OIL. THEY WILL NOT OFFICIALLY ADMIT TO THE PROBLEM BUT SEVERAL FORD EMPLOYEES HAVE TOLD ME FORD IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION. THE ENGINE INITIALLY LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT RE START. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. *TR
