2007 Ford Expedition Engine

I HAVE TO REPLACE SPARK PLUGS EVERY WEEK. THE ENGINE EITHER KEEPS MAKING THE PLUGS FOUL OUT, OR IT BURNS THE TIP RIGHT OFF THE ENGINE. I'M STARTING TO SEE FROM THE COMPLAINTS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY 6 KIDS BECAUSE OF HOW BAD IT KEEPS MISSING AND TRYING TO DIE. I CHANGE PLUGS THEN DRIVES WELL FOR ABOUT A WEEK.

ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISE. PULLED IT A PART AND FOUND THE COMMON 5.4 LITER PROBLEM. THE CAM LOBS WAS EATEN UP ROLLER HAD FROZEN UP AND EATEN CAM UP AND TAPET HAS WENT BAD ALSO. VECH WAS IN USE WHEN THIS STARTED.

CAR HAS ALWAYS BUCKED AND TRUCK AND TRIED TO CATCH UP TO IT SELF. NOW I HAVE A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER MY HOOD. TICKING STAYS THE SAME RUNNING LOW RPM OR AT A HIGHER RPM.

DELEVOPED A TICKING NOISE TIMING CHAINS WERE REPLACED ALL ROCKERS AND LIFTERS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE THE TRUCK LOOSES POWER IT STARTS UP ROUGH AT ABOUT 1800 RPM YOU CAN HEAR THE TICKING LOUD PAST 2000 RPM THE TICKING GOES AWAY I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THESE ENGINES HAVE CAM PHASER PROBLEMS IT RECENTLY DEVELOPED A P0022 CODE WHICH IS INT CAM POSITION TIMING OVER RET BANK 2 I HAVE REPLACED THE VVT SELONOIDS AND STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM VEHICLE LOST POWER ON HIGHWAY SPEED DROPPED FROM 70 AND WOULD NOT GO PAST 30 VERY UNSAFE INCEDENT ON THE INTERSTATE

THE ENGINE HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HAVE COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. IT IS STALLING OUT AND WILL NOT DRIVE AT ALL.

I HAVE THE 5.4 ENGINE IN MY 2007 FORD EXPEDITION WITH ONLY 70,000 MILES WHICH I PURCHASED IN 2007. I AM NOW EXPERIENCING CAM SENSOR PROBLEMS, THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS AND NEED MAJOR REPAIRS. I HAVE VISITED MANY SITES AND UNDERSTAND THAT FORD HAS BEEN SUED BECAUSE OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE AND NOTHING CAME FROM THIS SUIT. THIS STARTED AROUND 2-3 WEEKS AGO, I HAD BEEN TRAVELING FOR 2-1/2 HOURS AND JUST PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY TO ENTER INTO MY HOUSING PLAN, WHEN MY CAR LOST RPMS, BECAME VERY ROUGH, AND THEN STALLED. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON OPEN IT ROAD IT RIDES GREAT UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN AND THE RPM FALLS, THEN IT STUMBLES AND STALLS. I HAD AT THE DEALERSHIP A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT UNTIL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I COULD NOT GET IT DIAGNOSED. OVER THE WEEKEND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY LITE AND AS I STATED IT IS THE CAM POSITION SENORS AND STATES THAT THE SYSTEMS TOO RICH. I TALKED WITH A FORD REP TODAY AND THIS WILL BE ABOUT A $2000 REPAIR BILL, BUT UNTIL I CAN GET IT TO THEM AND THEY PLACE ON THEIR COMPUTER, THEY CANNOT GIVE ME THEIR FINAL ESTIMATE IF IT CAN BE REPAIRED OR I NEED A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE MANY MISGIVINGS ABOUT THIS SINCE ALL THAT I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE. FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR A FAULTY ENGINE, AND BUYERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE BUYING A USED VEHICLE FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP WHO IS DEFINITELY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM.

2007 FORD EXPEDITION. BEGAN TO SPIT AND SPUTTER GOING 45MPH. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO AUTO SHOP FOR REPAIR. COST WAS $1,100 TO REPLACE 8 SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES. FORD USED A DEFECTIVE SPARK PLUG IN THIS VEHICLE. THE PLUG BREAKS OFF IN THE ENGINE WHEN REMOVING THEM. FORD KNEW OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS ISSUE WITH THESE PLUGS BEGAN IN EARLY 2000'S. FORD SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THESE PLUGS LONG AGO. THERE ARE MANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ONGOING RELATED DIRECTLY TO THE FAULTY SPARK PLUG. IF I HAD KNOW ABOUT THE PLUGS BEFORE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, I WOULD HAVE HAD FORD REPLACE THEM BEFORE I EVEN DROVE IT. *TR

MILLIONS OF.COMPLAINTS ON. INTERNET ABOUT THIS VEHICLE AND ITS BACKFIRING ENGINE AND CONSTANTLY REPLACING SPARK PLUGS. CR THROTTLES.ALOT NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES FIXED. PULLS NO MATTER WHAT PROBLEM YOU FIX THE NEXT ONE EMERGE. TYPICAL VEHICLE PROBLEMS FOR THESES OWNERS. SO MUCH MONEY. *TR

THE 5.4L ENGINE HAS A TAPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE TOP HALF OF THE MOTOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT OCCURS WHEN THE ENGINE IS IDLING AT A STAND STILL. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY. HAVE BEEN SPEAKING WITH FORD WARRANTY AND DEALERS TRYING TO GET FIXED AND BECAUSE IT IS INTERMITTENT THEY DO NOT WANT TO WORK ON. WE HAVE TAKEN TO 2 DEALERS A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES AND SPOKEN WITH FORD WARRANTY AND THEY REFUSE TO PAY TO HAVE THE MOTOR OPENED UP AND LOOKED AT. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 FORD EXPEDITION WITH A 5.4 TRITON ENGINE IN FEBRUARY 2008 THAT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR STARTED HERE LATELY TO MISFIRE AND JUMP AND STALL. I PURCHASED SPARK PLUGS AS I DO WITH ALL MY VEHICLES. UPON REMOVAL OF THE ORIGINAL PLUGS THEY BREAK OFF IN THE MOTOR OR THE HEAD WHICH THEN COST LOTS MORE MONEY TO REPLACE. UPON SPEAKING TO AND RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET THIS PLUG DESIGN IS A FLAW WITH ALL THE ENGINES THAT FORD HAS DESIGNED. EVERY PERSON WHO HAS HAD TO REPLACE THESE PLUGS HAS ENCOUNTERED THIS AWFUL AND COSTLY FLAW WHICH FORD SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR. AS I WILL AS WELL AS MANY CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THE POOR WORKMANSHIP AND DESIGN THAT FORD SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR. IN THESE DAY AND TIMES AND WITH THE WIDE VARIETIES OF MASS COMMUNICATIONS, I WILL NEVER AND ENCOURAGE MY FRIENDS TO NEVER BUY A FORD VEHICLE AGAIN. I HAVE FOUR KIDS AND THIS IS A COST THAT WE CANNOT STAND FOR. I WILL GO TO THE HOUSTON TEXAS MEDIA WITH THIS AS WELL. AS I AM SURE IN THE HOUSTON AREA MANY MANY MANY CONSUMERS HAVE THESE SAME ISSUES. *TR
