The contact owns a 2001 Ford E-350. While driving approximately 30 mph, the contact heard loud sounds coming from the engine. He pulled the vehicle to the side of the road and discovered that the third spark plug blew out of the cylinder head. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic and they re-threaded the cylinder head. The current mileage was 134,701 and failure mileage was 133,345. Updated 09/25/08 updated 09/25/08
Our family was riding in our 2001 Ford E-350 Super Duty 15-passenger van powered by Ford 5.4L V8 255 hp on I-80 eastbound near milesburg, pa this past Saturday afternoon (July 7,2007) and one of the spark plugs blew out of the cylinder head. I am awaiting repairs even now. I have noticed our government's reluctance to issue a recall on what appears to be a recurring problem for '97-04 Ford engines with the aluminum heads. The repairs are very expensive! please help! thanks, david lipsy
