| Description of the problem | Spark plugs on the 5. 3 liter engine when replaced break--in return the book said pull engine and pull heads to replace spark plugs. The law suit filled ford admits to bad decision on spark plugs and will reimburse some of the cost. The cost is very high--the book and ford's shop said the engine needs to be pulled to pull the heads to replace the spark plugs. There was never any software updates, and now the vehicle requires them. The error in the cluster software recall was suppose to be repaired and i read from the experts all software should have been upgraded with the cluster error. There are 42 p. M. Ford and nhsta knew or knows about on my vehicle and nothing has been done, i am a 100% dav and my vehicle has been broken down. The 2006 harley davidson f-150 that cost so much with it's on board computer system does not work. I have read many complaints about the f-150 engine cutting out, i pulled out to pass on a two lane road and almost got killed when mine cut out so bad. A two cylinder would have done better than that v-8. |
