| Description of the problem | Spark plugs and coil packs have failed across our entire fleet of 2005-2008 f-150's. The potential for seized spark plugs is significant due to increased heat from failed coil packs. The coil packs seem to fail approximately every 25,000-75,000 miles. The repairs have been very costly - especially with a fleet of 200+ vehicles. Ford has not offered any assistance with any of the claims. Symptoms - the vehicle sputters or bogs down under load while traveling up a hill or under hard acceleration. Dangers - the vehicle will not accelerate with 100% power while under load in a dangerous situation. The need to quickly accelerate becomes altered due to possible spark plug/ coil pack failure. Risks are accidents, personal injury, or even worse. |
