2006 FORD EXPEDITION Engine Problems

the service engine light continues to turn on. the timing belt continues to fail and has already been replaced once. the camshaft on both sides have been replaced. the solenoids have also been replaced and the diagnostics codes still pop up (p0022) (p0021) are just some that i can remember. the engine does not have enough power on the driver side and throws the timing belt off which causes the loud rattle coming from the engine. when reaching the speed of 40-45 mph the truck begins to shake. recently in november 2023, when fueling up with gas , the truck began to shake and not respond. when accelerating, the truck takes off very slowly and the gears dont kick in on time. when the gas light comes on , the truck begins to function well. but as soon as i put gas again. it feels like the truck is going to fall apart. the driver door gets stuck when trying to open from the inside. the back door on the left does not open from the outside. the gear handle can be moved up and down while the truck is not turned on. please help!!

TAMARA RECALL

FORD HAD A RECALL FOR BROKEN SPARK PLUGS & A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THIS VEHICLE. FORD HAS FAILED TO FULLY COMPENSATE US & TOLD ME HARDLY NO ONE WOULD RECEIVE COMPENSATION. WE REPLACED THE PLUGS WITH FORD APPROVED REVISED PLUGS AT FORD WITH @ 149K MILES ON 11/2015. THE ENGINE CODES OR PROBLEMS WOULD COME UP NOW AND AGAIN & WE HAD IT INTO VARIOUS VENDORS.. 2/ 2017, DRIVING BACK TO WYOMING I CAME UP AN I WAS UNDER LOAD (HAULING A TRAILER) AND THE AUTO ALMOST DID NOT MAKE IT HOME OR UP A GRADE. WE TOOK IT IN TO REPLACE THE COILS. THE VENDOR, MIDWAY MOTORS REPLACED THE COIL & NOTICED THE NEW REVISED FORD APPROVED SPARK PLUG 5 WAS BROKEN, AND PLUG 6 ALSO SHOWED A CODE, (MILEAGE 172627 MILES). THE ENGINE WAS DAMAGED SO WE TRADED THE FORD IN FOR A DODGE. MY POINT FORD HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE & IS DECEIVING THE PUBLIC. AND 2ND LAWSUIT CLAIM FORM IS [XXX] . THE VEHICLE WAS KEPT IN LIKE NEW SHAPE PRISTINE. I WAS SAD I HAD TO TRADE IT IN BUT DID NOT FEEL SAFE. I THINK YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW FORD IS PRACTICING AND NOT HANDLING ETHICALLY, LEGALLY, OR PROPERLY; BOTH THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND ALSO THE (REVISED SPARK PLUGS ARE ALSO FAILING). YES I HAVE DETAILED DOCUMENTS!! ASK ME I CAN EMAIL YOU PDF [XXX] [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

WHILE IN TRAFFIC, AT LEAST 100 TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS (AT VARIABLE SPEEDS FROM 5 TO 65 MPH ON CITY STREETS AND FREEWAYS) MOST RECENTLY TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK, THE RPMS DROP BELOW 500 AND THE VEHICLE DIES AND "ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE" LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH. I HAVE TO EITHER COAST TO PULL OVER OR DEAD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF (EVEN THOUGH IN FAILSAFE MODE ENGINE IS OFF, THE ELECTRONICS ARE STILL ON) AND THEN RESTART AND THEN IT WILL DRIVE JUST FINE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. IT HAPPENS ANYWHERE FROM ONCE EVERY 6 MONTHS TO 6 TIMES IN 1 WEEK. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IF I DRIVE WITH BOTH FEET IN TRAFFIC AND MAINTAIN ABOUT 800-1000 RMPS AT ALL TIMES IT DOESN'T DO THIS, HOWEVER THIS CANNOT BE DONE ALL THE TIME ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE LARGE VEHICLE QUICKLY OR TURNING IN AN INTERSECTION. NOTHING HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED BY DEALERSHIP AS NO CODES ARE THROWN. I ALSO OWN A OBD2 READER AND NO CODES HAVE EVER LISTED UNLESS ITS TIME TO CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS. SEVERAL DIFFERENT MECHANICS, FORUMS AND BRAINSTORMING HAS NOT FIGURED IT OUT. I HAVE REPLACED MOSTLY EVERYTHING WITH EXCEPTION TO A NEW TRANSMISSION AND COMPUTER. MOSTLY EVERYTHING INCLUDING WIRES AND VACUUM LINES AND GASKETS HAVE BEEN REPLACED DUE TO MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS FROM EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HAS GONE WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE PUT ABOUT $10K INTO NEW PARTS FOR THIS VEHICLE. I BOUGHT IT WITH 60K MILES ON IT AND IT NOW HAS 117K, ITS A DAILY DRIVER WITH 28 MILES OF TRAVEL 5 DAYS A WEEK. ALSO THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT FITS ALL OF THE CHILDREN FOR SOCCER, TRACK AND VOLLEYBALL TRAVELING TOURNAMENTS/GAMES. LUCKILY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN WHEN I'M NOT IN TRAFFIC SO THE KIDS AREN'T USUALLY WITH ME BUT IT IS VERY SCARY NOT TO KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO STOP OR IF THE PEOPLE BEHIND YOU ARE GOING TO HIT YOU OR NOT.

MY 2006 FORD EXPEDITION'S "ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE" INITIATED AND ALERTED ME WHILE I WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE, WHICH RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN COMPLETELY AND LOSING ALL POWER. MY MAIN ISSUE/CONCERN WITH THIS IS THAT I LOST STEERING AND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF BRAKING POWER. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ON A SIDE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER OUT OF HARM'S WAY. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START A COUPLE OF TRIES LATER, AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE INTO A SERVICE SHOP SAFELY, WHICH WAS OVER AN HOUR AWAY. I CANNOT HELP BUT BE GRATEFUL FOR GETTING HOME SAFELY, BUT AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THESE VEHICLES EXPERIENCING SUCH ISSUES AS THEY TRAVERSE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES, ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING AROUND 70MPH. THIS POTENTIALLY POSED VERY IMPACTFUL CONSEQUENCES AND PUTS MYSELF, FRIENDS/FAMILY TRAVELING WITH ME, AND OTHER MOTORISTS.

WHILE TAKING MY KIDS TO DAYCARE THE ENGINE FAIL SAFE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT WAITING TO GO STRAIGHT UNDER A BRIDGE AND AT THIS PARTICULAR LIGHT ONLY ONE LANE CAN GO STRAIGHT SINCE THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND I COULD NOT MOVE THIS CAUSED MAJOR BACKUP. LUCKILY THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE A FEW CARS BEHIND AND HE WAS ABLE TO PUSH ME THROUGH THE LIGHT AND INTO A PARKING LOT. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF SITTING THERE THE TRUCK STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THEM TO DAYCARE AND CONTINUE ON TO WORK. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.

MY VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE HAD DIAGNOSTIC REPORTS RUN AND THEY DO NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. THE FIRST TIME I WAS GOING 45 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A SONIC. I WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED BACK UP. THE SECOND TIME WAS AT A GAS STATION AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC RUN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY BATTERY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND MY VEHICLE DIED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY, BUT STARTED BACK UP ONE I LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES. THIS MORNING I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT AT WORK AND IT DIED. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES IT STARTED BACK UP AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT. I WENT TO LEAVE FOR LUNCH AND NOW MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT ALL. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR SHUT OFF ON ME LIKE IT HAS DONE OTHER TIMES. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND THE THOUGHT OF THEM IN THIS CAR DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL SAFE!!

THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, BUT LUCKILY I STILL HAD FULL MOVEMENT OF MY STEERING WHEEL SO I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE LANES AND GET OFF TO THE SHOULDER. I PANICKED FOR A MOMENT, BUT STARTED THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. I ATTEMPTED MY DRIVE TO WORK AND MADE IT THERE. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE.

FIRST OCCURRENCE EXHIBITED FLICKERING DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEFORE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT COMPLETELY DEAD AND THE ENGINE QUIT WHILE ACCELERATING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE NORMALLY BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL SHORT INSTANCES OF DASH FLICKERING OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH NO APPARENT ENGINE PROBLEMS. DURING THAT SAME PERIOD THERE HAVE BEEN APPROXIMATELY 4 INSTANCES OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEING COMPLETELY DEAD UPON THE INITIAL ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE ONLY LIGHT THAT IS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH (OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER) IS WHAT I THINK IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT; HOWEVER, NORMAL ELECTRICAL POWER HAS, THUS FAR, RE-APPEARED WITHIN 5 MINUTES AND THE ENGINE THEN STARTS AND RUNS NORMALLY. YESTERDAY THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL A CODE OF P0119 (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT) UPON RETURNING HOME. I SUBSEQUENTLY CLEARED THE CODE, BUT THE READER INDICATES ANOTHER CODE IS "PENDING". I BELIEVE THIS IS A SYMPTOM OF A LARGER PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED A "ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE" WARNING MESSAGE, BUT THIS COMPLAINT IS VERY SIMILAR TO MANY OTHERS ALREADY POSTED AND I AGREE WITH THE RELATED SAFETY CONCERNS AND NEED FOR A RECALL. *TR

ON THE WAY HOME I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN, NO WARNING. I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. I WAS AGAIN ABLE TO TURN OFF THE KEY, PUT IT IN PARK, AND START IT UP. I MADE IT HOME A SHORT DISTANCE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE COULD GET KILLED ON A HIGHWAY BY A CAR RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF AND BECOMING UNSTEERABLE. *TR

ENGINE FREQUENTLY GOES IN TO ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE. THIS HAPPENS TYPICALLY WHEN THE CAR IS BEING LIGHTLY THROTTLED SUCH AS AROUND CORNERS OR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE CAR RESTARTS FINE, BUT MUST BE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF, WHICH DISABLES AIRBAGS, MAKES POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES IMPOSSIBLE TO USE. PREVIOUSLY I HAVE CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY OF THE CAR AT THE SUGGESTION OF NUMEROUS MECHANICS, AND THIS RESOLVED THE ISSUE FOR NEARLY A YEAR. NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY WIFE'S SAFETY. THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED AS THE THROTTLE PLATE STICKING RETURNING INVALID DATA TO THE COMPUTER SENDING THE ENGINE INTO FAILSAFE MODE. *JS

AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I LOSE POWER AND DEACCELERATE AND GO INTO FAIL SAFE MODE. THE LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH. THEN THE ENGINE CUTS OFF COMPLETELY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! ONCE I TURN THE KEY OFF I RESTART THE ENGINE AND IT MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR A MONTH. I REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND IT DID NOT DO THIS FOR ABOUT A YEAR, NOW IT IS STARTING AGAIN AND IT HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT 65MPH, 40MPH, 25MPH, 55MPH, 30 MPH. THERE IS NO PATTERN. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR TURN INTO A PARKING LOT EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, IT SCARES ME! I HAVE READ MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS OF THIS HAPPENING ONLINE TO THE 2006 AND WONDER WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED IF THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD TWICE AND BC THE LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON AND IT IS NOT HAPPENING WHEN I BRING IT TO THEM THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *TR

I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN IN MARCH OF 2009 WHEN I WAS GOING 60 ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND LOST ALL POWER AND HAD TO COAST TO A STOP IN THAT LANE WITH MY FLASHERS ON HOPING EVERYONE AROUND ME WOULD SEE I WAS HAVING CAR TROUBLE. I HAD 3 OF MY KIDS IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. IN 2009 I TOOK IT INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND REPLACED IT WHICH COST ME $536.00. IN 2009 IT HAPPENED 5 TIMES BEFORE IT WAS FIXED. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TODAY AND THEY SAID AGAIN ITS THE THROTTLE BODY AND BECAUSE IT'S BEEN 5 YEARS THE OTHER ONE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. SO NOW I'M GETTING A NEW THROTTLE BODY PUT IN. I EMAILED FORD CORPORATE AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD THAT THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL NOR PLANS FOR ONE SO THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME! *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT: THE FIST WAS ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET YESTERDAY WHEN THE "FAIL SAFE MODE" INDICATOR CAME ON AND SAID ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN. CAR TURNS OFF, CANNOT STEER. VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF. TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IT STARTED AND I DROVE TO WORK, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE WHO RAN IT AND IT CAME UP AS THROTTLE BODY FORCES IMMEDIATE IDLE. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THE 10 PAGES ON COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM SAID IT WOULD SAY - HOWEVER INFORMATION ON THAT SITE ALSO SAID IT'S ACTUALLY THE FUEL PUMP MODULATOR, BUT THE COMPUTER DID NOT INDICATE THAT AT ALL. THERE WERE ALMOST 60 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME SITUATIONS - WHEN I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC TODAY THE CAR 'HESITATED' AND DID NOT ACCELERATE CORRECTLY. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY - AND AGAIN I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. THIS DEFECT IS GOING TO CAUSE AN INJURY OR EVEN DEATH AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND CORRECTED. I WILL BE CONTACTING FORD CORPORATE; BUT WITH THE RECENT INCIDENTS WITH GM I WOULD HATE TO SEE AN ACCIDENT OR FATALITY OCCUR WHEN FORD AND OTHERS ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY I HAVE TO GET THIS FIXED, I'M HOPING MY FORD DEALER WILL WORK WITH ME, BUT I HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD SO TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE AND I'M GUESSING MONEY WILL BE TOO. REGARDLESS OF FORD'S CORPORATE RESPONSE, I WILL BE CONTACTING THE MEDIA. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT FORD IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

REPLACE OF SENSORS AND SEVERAL FUSES.) THE HEADLIGHTS BEGIN TO FLASH OFF AND ON THEN TRUCK STARTED SPUTTERING. THE FUEL LIGHT WENT FROM 3/4 TANK TO E. I PULLED INTO SHOPPING CENTER PLACED IT IN PARK. WENT TO PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND COULDN'T SOMETHING WAS DRAINING BATTERY THAT IS ONLY 3 MONTHS OLD. DON'T KNOW RESOLUTION BUT TIRED OF THIS TRUCK! IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THIS TRUCK HAS SO MANY REPEAT ISSUES AND NO RECALL. FORD NEEDS TO BE SUED.

LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON A MAIN HIGHWAY BUT LUCKILY I WAS ALONE WITHOUT MY FAMILY AND IN THE INSIDE LANE SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER THANKFULLY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN THE OVERTAKING LANE AS THERE IS NO TIME TO SAFELY CHANGE LANES WHEN IT SHUTS DOWN.

I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. WE REPLACED THE TPS AT A COST OF AROUND $300 AS A POSSIBLE FIX AND THIS WORKED FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS - NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK AND MY RESEARCH INDICATES WE NEED TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. THIS WILL COST US AROUND $500 - FOR A TOTAL REPAIR COST OF AROUND $800 - WHICH WE CANNOT AFFORD! FORD HAS LITERALLY $HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS AND MUST RECALL DUE TO THIS ISSUE - THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO ALLOW THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO CONTINUE. FORD MOTOR CO. OWES ME $800 DUE TO THEIR POOR ENGINEERING AND UNWILLINGNESS TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE - THEY ARE GREEDY CROOKS. *TR

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND SHOWS 'ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE'. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN MARCH 2012 (I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW).

(#5/#6 JUST HAPPENED YESTERDAY TO MY WIFE WHILE SHOPPING WITH OUR 3YR. OLD SON). THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME, ANYWHERE, WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND OF COURSE THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM - EVEN THOUGH I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS AND RIGHT HERE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. IT SEEMS (FROM MY RESEARCH ONLINE) THAT THE PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED BY REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY AND TPS - WHICH IS A COSTLY REPAIR FOR WHICH I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY (AFTER JUST BUYING NEW TIRES IN ADDITION TO A SEPARATE $500 REPAIR).

DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER, THE STEERING AND BRAKES WERE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE VEHICLE COASTED ON THE HIGHWAY UNTIL I WAS SAFELY ABLE TO DIRECT THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. AFTER STOPPING AND PARKING THE VEHICLE SAFELY, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THIS OCCURED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES IN MONTHS THAT FOLLOWED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INCIDENT ONLINE, I LEARNED THAT THE THROTTLE CONTROL SWITCH MAY HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP OF MY RESEARCH AND THEY DID NOT AGREE. I REPLACED THE SWITCH ON MY OWN AND I HAVE NOT ENCOUNTERED ANY ADDITIONAL ENGINE FAILURES SINCE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY AT THAT POINT AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT. AT THAT TIME, I WAS NOT REALLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. AFTER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND AGAIN, I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY. I CONTACTED FORD A COUPLE OF YEAR AGO AND AGAIN THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, EVEN IF THEY ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF OWNERS THAT HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO FORD AS DESCRIBED IN DIFFERENT BLOGS ONLINE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE TO FIND A PLACE TO STOP SINCE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL EVEN IF IT IS STILL RUNNING. THE VEHICLE MUST BE TURNED OFF AND STARTED AGAIN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME A MY FAMILY, EVEN MORE NOW WITH A NEWBORN. IF IT HAPPENS WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR HIGHWAY, WE CAN BE REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER DRIVE OR TRUCK SINCE THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER AND THE VEHICLE MUST BE TURNED OFF. HERE IN MIAMI, THERE IS A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION GOING ON AND HIGHWAYS ARE BEING EXPANDED. MUST OF THE CONSTRUCTION HAS ELIMINATED THE EMERGENCY LANE, WHICH MEANS THAT IF THAT HAPPENS, WE ARE GOING TO BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY.

ENGINE WAS LOSING POWER UNDER LOAD (ONLY WHILE ACCELERATING). NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVER CAME ON. AT 88,000 MILES FIGURED THAT NOT ONLY WILL I REPLACE ALL 8 SPARK PLUGS, BUT WOULD REPLACE ALL 8 COIL PACKS AS WELL. UPON REMOVAL ON THE SPARK PLUGS, 1 SPARK PLUG BROKE (SO FAR) LEAVING THE BOTTOM PIECE INSIDE THE HEAD. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AS IT CAN LEAD MANY LIKE MYSELF WITH AN OUTRAGEOUS EXPENSE TO PROPERLY REMOVE THE BROKEN SPARK PLUG AND CAN IN THE LONG RUN DAMAGE THE ALUMINUM HEAD TOO. THEY ARE MOTOR CRAFT PLATINUM (CERAMIC INSIDE) SPARK PLUGS. NAPA SELLS A TOOL TO EXTRACT THE BROKE PLUG OUT. WHY IN THE WORLD THIS IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE ON WITHOUT A RECALL IS BEYOND ME. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND SHOULD HAVE A MASSIVE RECALL FOR THE ANY VEHICLE THAT CONTAINS THESE SPARK PLUGS, LIKE MY 2006 MODEL WITH A 5.3L DOES. I HAVE CALLED FORD AND FILED A FORMER COMPLAINT AND MANY OTHERS NEED TO DO SO AS WELL.
