I own a '00 ford lightning and it recently launched a plug out of the head. I am outside of the factory warranty, so i am forced to pay for the repair out of pocket. This failure is due to a faulty mechanical design of the 5.4l aluminum heads that ford puts on it's 5.4l v8 trucks. This is not a problem only on lightnings, it is inherrent to all of the 5.4l heads. I am a member of several message boards and have increasingly heard of this problem with lightnings as well as regular f150's. The design of the head is fatally flawed. It is an aluminum head, so it expands/contracts with heat, not to mention the spark plugs are steel that screw into these heads. The biggest flaw about them is that they only have3-4 threads to hold in the spark plug(which has 8-9 threads). The spark plugs basically work their way loose and eject from the hole, ripping out the remaining 2-3 threads, thus causing the vehicle to be inoperable and rendering the head useless and in need of replacement. To this day ford refuses to officially admit that this problem exists, even though i could go online and find 50 instances of this issue over the last several months. I personally know of 4 others within 30 miles of me that have suffered this same issue. Ford does know the issue exists, but refuses to do anything about it. They have come out with arevised head that has the more appropriate 8-9 threads. They came out with this in late nov '02. It's nice that the future 5.4l engines wont have to worry about this issue, however this does little for those of us who have already shot out a spark plug or will in the near future because of this faulty design. We are attempting to make this very well known issue (at least inside the community) about these heads, better known to someone who could possibly do something about it. We would like ford to step up to the plate andreplace the faulty heads that have shot out a plug at their expense under warranty.
I was driving our ford expedition and i stopped at a light.when the light turned green i began to accelerate and i heard a pop from the engine.the truck immediately began to ride very roughly, and we smelled gas as we pull the truck to the side of the road.
While driving the excursion at a speed around 35 mph, heard a very load pop noise from under the hood and lost power from the engine and the vehicle rolled to a stop. Had the vehicle towed to my local ford dealership for trouble shooting purpose. They told me the number 7 spark plug blew out from the head. The fix was either a heli-coil or a new head. The helicoil cost was 900 dollars and the head was 4500 dollars. Reading this site and many more there is a serious issue with a wide variety of sizes from ford motors with the spark plug blowing out. I don't know what it will take for a recall for this problem but something needs to be done. I guessnothing gets done until somebody is killed.

My concern is not with my ford mini van...however, it is with the court system that suppresses full disclosure of liability claims.this is an example of a denial of information to the public that resulted in 100 plus fatalities, firestone/ford and over 200 fatals with gm trucks and outer gas tanks...sounds like a severe legal glitch out there and same should be closed, less public confidence is eroded in your office and the courts...

We recently purchased a 2000 ford exc. Ltd. And now the driver side door lock will not lock or unlock half the time when we use the remote, even when in the vehicle we push the lock button and we still have to manually push the actual lock down. We have friends that purch. The same type of vehicle and year, they also had the same problem.also we have a comb. Lock on the outside and we have no way of being able to get the manuf. Code so we can access that in case our keys get locked in the vehicle, the dealership did not have ut and we cannot find it anywhere.
Purchased a 2000 ford windstar last week of january 2004 for the price of 13900.00.the van was stored out back for a while, and was under 30,000 miles when i bought it.the dealer never got it inspected until two weeks after i purchased and picked up the vehicle.by july 2004, our van was in the shop regarding transmission problems.they had it for two weeks.upon picking it up, they left me no work order that was done and claimed they put in 4,000 dollars worth of work (verbally).i therefore contacted a lawyer.by december 2004, christmas eve day, my tranny blew.it wouldn't go forward and yet the motor was running fine.it would only reverse.two auto tech's came to my rescue and said it needs to be fully replaced.i had the van towed after the holidays (everything was closed for the four day weekend). So on monday upon my arrival, the company didn't want to put in for the repairs without my paying. I told them in six short months since july the tranny is gone?first repair was at 45 thousand miles and the next was at 60 thousand miles.i am now having more transmission problems.they only repaired it, never replaced it.for the price i pay for my monthly payments and the insurance and all, i don't think ford is being honest about their cars and ford dealers are lousy towards their customers. I feel very ripped off.all i want is my money refunded (all that i paid in payments including insurance and repairs if any) so i can go and find myself a "safe" reliable car.

The tire was original and only had about 6200 miles on it.( dot number: vd1l1xd279 tire size: 75r16 )
