This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
On the day listed below my 1999 Ford F150 with a Triton 5.4L V8 engine ejected a spark plug from the cylinder head. Upon inspection by a mechanic it was determined that the threads in the cylinder head failed. The compression in the cylinder then ejected the spark plug. After the spark plug was ejected and before I could get stopped there was a strong smell of gas in the cab of the truck. Which I assume was caused by the open cylinder and fuel being expressed through the spark plug opening.
