2003 Ford F-150 Engine Problems

“The spark plug ejected from my engine and cylinder head. And apparently this is a common issue with Ford truck engines. Seems to me it should be a defect or a recall. That should not happen it could be dangerous. I thought my vehicles engine had exploded. And the cost of this could be outrageous.”

“While driving my truck with my wife & son, we heard a loud pop, like a gun shot, then my truck started to run real rough, I found a coil, & a spark plug had been blown out of the engine, because of the fuel build up & the spark from the truck still running we are lucky that the truck did not catch fire.”

“My family and I were sitting in a drive through picking up a pizza. Can we went to pull forward and it started looking really bad .. Did some research and felt all the plugs and found that number four plug blew out of the head! It cost us 500 for fix and now another one is starting to go!!”

“As I was driving home, my engine began making a loud noise & running badly. Upon inspection of the motor, I found the spark plug had blown out of the #3 cylinder, breaking the coil pack in the process. I do not believe this is a normal occurrence. I have checked on-line to see if this has happened to other F-150 owners, and found out it is fairly common. What can be done to get Ford to help with this problem?”

“After a rainstorm and while driving, my windshield wipers stopped working, my radio/cd player started turning off and on, my panel light dimmed, and I heard a clicking noise under my driver side dash board. There was also a clicking noise coming from the engine. While stationary and key out of the ignition, I noticed water on the driver side floor, and when I looked under I could see drops of water sliding off I believe my emergency bake and brake pedal, and an ongoing clicking sound under the steering wheel. I left my truck in driveway overnight, and the next morning my battery was dead. …”
