I HAVE A 1999 FORD EXPEDITION XLT WITH A 5.4 L V8 WITH 130K MILES ON IT. I STARTED MY VEHICLE THIS MORNING AND IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ENGINE HAD EXPLODED FOLLOWED BY GREY SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE I DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE , SECOND FROM THE REAR SPARK PLUG WAS BLOWN OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD.AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS AN ALL TO COMMON PROBLEM FOR CERTAIN YEAR MODEL FORDS. THIS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT AND NOT ONLY COULD SOMEONE GET INJURED OR STRANDED BUT COULD ALSO BE LETHAL IF THE GAS FROM THE CYLINDER WERE TO IGNITE UNDER THE HOOD CAUSING AN EXPLOSION OR ENGINE FIRE. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO PREVENT THIS. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 FORD EXPEDITION THAT HAS CONTINUOUSLY BLOWN SPARK PLUGS, I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I KEEP MY VEHICLES MAINTAINED ON A REGULAR BASIS, AND I HAVE NO WARNINGS LEADING UP TO THE SPARK PLUG BLOWING. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE OF THESE TIMES IT WILL BLOW AND MY ENGINE WILL CATCH ON FIRE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD, THAT THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, EXCEPT TO KEEP REPLACING THE COIL PACK AND SPARK PLUGS AND CHARGING ME MORE MONEY. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN NOV 2007, AND I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT SERVICED FOR THE SAME ISSUE TWO OTHER TIMES AND NOW AS OF TODAY I WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AGAIN. I HAVE TRUST IN MY DEALERSHIP THAT THEY ARE FULLY CAPABLE OF REPAIRING THE VEHICLE AS THEY HAVE SERVICED MY OTHER VEHICLES WITH NO OTHER PROBLEMS. *TR
