“A year ago my 1999 Ford f-250 with the triton v-10 blew a spark plug out of the head. I thought that the spark plug had not been tightened properly and had worked its way loose. I replaced all the spark plugs at that time as well as the coil for that cylinder. A week ago I was driving down the road and a different spark plug blew out of the cylinder although this time all the thread had been stripped and I have to remove the head and heli-coil the head to ensure a proper fitting spark plug. …”
NHTSA complaint #10249607, filed 2008-11, 161,901 miles“I was driving down the at around 45mph when I felt a bump in the back of my truck. I looked back and my spare tire had fallen off the underside of my truck. No other cars were around so I turned around and got the tire off the road and put it in the truck bed. I looked under the truck and the cable that held the tire in place was frayed and broken. If I had been going town a busy freeway this could have caused an accident. 1999 Ford f250 superduty 4x4 built prior to 3/22/99. To repair I will have to purchase new spare tire carrier from Ford.”
