| Description of the problem | Driving my truck on my lunch break i noticed a pop sound which followed with a bad idle, a check engine light, and a loud mis-fire sound... I pulled into my jobs parking lot and notice that my 2004 ford f150 shot spark plug number 2 out of the cylinder head and shattered the coil boot into many pieces this was with only 76,000 miles. Being in the auto parts business i know that they are known for this and deal with many people daily having this issue yet ford has still not made a recall to help us with this problem... I had to replace one spark plug, and one coil boot.. So far my coil has managed to hold up however from what i have noticed it is just a matter of time before this happens again and i would like to have some sort of info on why or how this happens and what ford plans to do about this issue. |
