| Description of the problem | My truck felt like it was driving really well, i was driving from a to b which was about 6 miles. Im almost home & i stop at a light,when it turned green i accelerated &when i did i heard a knocking sound&so i pulled over& i couldn't pin point exactly where it was coming from,just it was coming from the back of the engine on the right side. Im guessing maybe the 3rd or 4th spark plug. I checked my oil i was maybe 1quart low. So hoping that was it, i bought a quart&some oil repair to go in with it. The guy at autozone thought the same. As u could guess that didn't work. It sound almost like a lawn mower. Which is baffling cuz there was no warning, no check engine light,no prior noise. I'm lost. I've been reading about spiting spark plugs&a lot of the same stuff happening in these trucks. I'm wondering if there was a recall? If not why? If there are complaints from over 1000 people saying the exact samething,why hunt ford done anything about it? I use this truck to take my71 year old vietnam veteran grandpa to his dr appointments&use it for work. From what i'm reading no one is gonna help but i have to try. Please let me know if there is any advice or hopefully do the right thing & help me work with the dealership i bought the truck from. My# is 6614419336. Thanks. |
