problem #1

2009Mar 21

F-150 4x4 4.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,000 miles

driving along at 70 mph. Loud noise like blown tire. Pulled over, noticing no handling problem. Still heard the noise even at a stop with engine idling. Knew immediately it had spit out a spark plug. Internet research indicates I am far from along. Ford dealer says the only fix they'll warrant is to pull the engine and replace the head at a cost of about $2000.

No more Fords!
