Description of the problem | Vehicle misfired on acceleration on highway. Was aware of spark plug ejections w/ my particular year and model after going through camshaft phaser repairs. (2005 f-150 w/ 5. 4l triton engine). Mechanic suggested replacing all factory spark plugs w/ new designed spark plug kit to eliminate ejection problem. I did so at a cost of $831. 52. Costs to date $4729. 25 within the last 2 months on a 2005 vehicle. Unacceptable. Researched on internet and found this to be a very well known problem. No mention of it from the dealer upon purchase. Ford has turned their back on this (and the camshaft phaser defect). I am a small contractor whose livelihood depends on this vehicle. The purchase price of $35,890. 00 plus tax and license was a huge investment for me (i paid cash and drained my savings so i would not have monthly payment). So these additional costs to an almost new vehicle have drained my account again. |
