WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK MY TRUCK IN A PARKING LOT DURING THE WINTER MONTH OF JANUARY, I HAD TO MANEUVER OVER A SMALL SNOW PILE THE SIZE OF A SPEED BUMP. AFTER SPINNING MY TIRES IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ON THE SLICK SNOWY PARKING LOT, THE TRUCKS FRONT TIRES FINALLY MADE IT OVER THE BUMP FROM A PARKED POSITION. AS SOON AS THE TRUCK CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUMP, BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THECONSEQUENCES OF THE DEPLOYMENT ARE THAT MY INSURANCE WILL NOT COVER THE ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT WAS A NON-COLLISION ACCIDENT AND THAT THE VALUE OF MY TRUCK NOW IS 6,000 DOLLARS LESS THAN IT WAS WITH AIR BAGS. TO CORRECT THE FAILURE I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND HAVE HAD NO SUCH LUCK IN ANYONE ASSUMIONG RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CAUSE OF THE AIRBAG FAILURE.*AK

SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF CYLINDER ON MY TRITON 5.4L FORD F150 LIGHTNING TRUCK. 900 MILES AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. FORD DEALER QUOTED $3,100 TO REPLACE CYLINDER HEAD WITH A 50% GOODWILL DISCOUNT. IN MY SEARCHES ON THE WEB THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. VERY COMMON ON THEIR V10 DIESEL ENGINES FORD DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT A DEFECT EXISTS.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 55 MPH AND HEARD A TERRIBLE SOUND COME FROM THE ENGINE. IT SOUNDED LIKE A PISTON DISCONECTED FROM THE CONNECTING ROD. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER. THEIR DIAGNOSIS IS THAT THE #3 SPARKPLUG LOOSEND UP AND DAMAGED THE PLUG HOLE. THE SAID THAT THE HEAD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE BIIL WOULD RANGE FROM $3500-4500. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED SO THE VEHICLE SAT AT THE DEALER FOR 5 MONTHS. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID THERE WAS A REPAIR THAT COULD BE DONE BUT IT WASN'T RECOMENDED BY FORD. THE REPAIR WAS TO REMOVE THE HEAD AND SLEAVE THE BLOWN OUT SPARK PLUG HOLE. I HAD THEM REPAIR IT THIS WAY. THE COST TO ME WAS $1796.00 AND THERE WAS NO WARANTY BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A FORD RECOMENDED REPAIR. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM AND COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AT GREAT EXPENSE TO THE CONSUMER. NOT ONLY IS THERE GREAT EXPENSE BUT, IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IT COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT.*AK
