FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
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

FORD EXPEDITION 1999 EJECTED SPARK PLUG PROBLEM. AFTER HAVING THIS PROBLEM THREE TIME ALREADY, I START RESEARCHING ABOUT IT AND SEEMS THAT 100TH OF OWNER OF FORD EXPEDITION FROM 1997 TO 2003 ARE HAVING A RECURRING PROBLEM. WHY IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS WHEN HUNDREDS OF OWNERS ARE SPENDING FROM $300 TO $700 ON REPAIRS THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. IT IS NOTICEABLE THAT ITS A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM NOT A CUSTOMER PROBLEM. *TR

FOR THE 2ND TIME I HAVE HAD A SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT OF THE ENGINE. THIS TIME THE GAS CAUGHT FIRE. I MANAGED TO BEAT IT OUT WITH MY JACKET, UNHOOK THE FUEL INJECTOR, AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. FORTUNATELY THE FIRE STARTED JUST AS I OPENED THE HOOD AND I GOT IT OUT BEFORE ANY DAMAGE COULD OCCUR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
A SPARK PLUG BLEW/POPPED OUT THE HEAD ON OUR 1999 FORD EXPEDITION, CAUSING FUEL VAPOR TO LEAK OUT OF THE OPENING, AND STARTING A SMALL FIRE, WHICH WAS QUICKLY DOUSED. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IN 3 YEARS THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED, RESULTING IN OVER $2000 IN REPAIR COSTS FOR EACH OCCURRENCE. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AS I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER EXPEDITION, NAVIGATOR, F-150, AND F-250 OWNERS WITH THIS SAME DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE? PEOPLES LIVES COULD BE AT RISK WITH THIS ISSUE? RECALL NOW! *TR
