MY 2001 FORD F150 BLEW A SPARK PLUG RIGHT OUT OF THE ALUMINUM HEAD ON 8-17-08. VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 90,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS A COMMON AND REPEATING FAILURE OF THE 5.4L V-8 ENGINE AND FORD WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A PROBLEM. I OPTED FOR THE HELICOIL REPLACEMENT OPTION ($640) OVER A COMPLETE NEW HEAD ($3000). FORD WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY OF THIS EVEN THOUGH IT IS THEIR DESIGN FLAW. LATER MODELS HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. IF IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM THEN WHY WAS IT CORRECTED? *TR

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT OUT SIDE OF MY WORK. SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. I WENT OUT AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS ON FIRE BURNING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. IT IS A TOTAL LOSS. : ( *TR
