According to service manager at a St. Paul, mn Ford dealer, Ford has had numerous problems with the 5.4 L engines passenger side rear cylinder spark plug mount stripping and blowing the spark plug out causing engine damage. I was told that Ford has kept this quiet but have covered costs on this up to 75,000 miles. My vehicle was submitted to Ford but denied being over 75,000 miles. Cost to fix was over $1200 and this only a temporary fix.

Truck was brought in for scheduled service and I was informed a head gasket was leaking. This is a vehicle that has been well maintained. I don't believe the engine has ever gone over 3000 RPM, cost to repair $2,200. This is absolutely ridiculous. I was shocked to see how many other people have submitted complaints about the same problem. What does it take to get Ford to take care of this problem?
