1999 Ford F Series Engine cooling Problems

“I've had two plugs blow out on my 99 f150. It has less than 100,000 on it. If they know its a defect why not step up and fix the problem? It cost $300 a plug!!!! Left me stranded at night with my family along the road!! Makes me wonder if I want to stay with Ford or go elsewhere.”

“I blew a plug on my Ford f150. Engine has had proper maintenance. It has about 80,000 miles on it. 5.4 v8 year is 1999. Called Ford and they will no acknowledge a problem and will do nothing to reimburse any of the repair costs. I think it is a faulty head on the triton engines.”

“My family and I were 25 miles from home in our 1999 Ford f-250 when a spark plug blew out of the head. I had the truck towed to the Ford dealership and was told that even though the truck had less than 75,000 miles. I had to pay for the repair. This repair cost us over $3,000.”

“1999 Ford expedition first blew out a spark plug in 2003 due to too few threads in cylinder head. Mechanic was able to repair for around $500. The problem occurred again on another spark plug in 2004 which destroyed the whole engine. I contacted Ford and was told they could do nothing about it. The refurbished jasper engine ended up being around $5400. The old engine was turned in to avoid a core charge. I have all of the paperwork from the mechanic stating the problem.”

“I was driving my 1999 Ford f150 4x4 with 5.4l engine home from work and stopped at traffic light. The light turned green and I proceeded to go and then pow the truck began to make a loud popping noise and lost all engine power. I was in the middle of the intersection and somehow managed to keep it running long enough to get through the intersection and on a side road. I hesitated to open the hood because of the strong gasoline smell but it wasn't on fire yet so I opened it and found one of my ignition coils (coil packs) loose on top of the intake manifold. …”
