• Spark plug ejection from cylinder head investigation # DP05005

  On september 6, 2005, odi received a petition requesting that the agency investigate allegations of engine spark plug ejection in certain model year 1997 through 2004 ford vehicles with triton v-8 and v-10 engines.Odi received a total of 474 non-duplicative complaints on the subject vehicles where the complainant, or the dealer repairing the vehicle, reported that a spark plug detached from the cylinder and/or ejected from the engine.As of december 8, 2005, odi is not aware of any allegations where the alleged defect resulted in a loss of vehicle control, a crash, an injury, or a fatality in any of the 10,319,810 subject vehicles.In addition, odi is aware of only two incidents where the vehicle stalled without restart.Information contained in the odi consumer complaints and obtained from 72 telephone interviews with complainants showed the following:(1) 99% of the complaints were on my 1997 to 2002 subject vehicles.(2) most the complainants reported hearing a loud pop while driving or upon starting up the vehicle followed by a loud, repetitive clicking or popping sound.(3) many of the complainants reported that the popping sound was accompanied by some loss of vehicle power; however, in 99% of the incidents reported, the vehicle did not stall.In the very few incidents where the vehicle did stall, most vehicles could be restarted.(4) only a small percentage of the complainants cited that they smelled gas or a slight burning smell when the incident occurred.(5) in all but a very few incidents, vehicle damage was limited to the engine.In one incident, the complaint reported that the fuel rail was damaged and replaced after one of the spark plugs ejected from the engine; however, the complainant reported that the damage did not result in any type of fuel leak or fire.In another incident, the only incident where a fire was alleged, the complainant reported that no fluid leak was observed, but that a fire resulted after the spark plug had ejected from the engine and he had restarted the vehicle and driven to another location.None of the complainants reported any damage to the vehicle hood.(6) only two complainants reported that they observed what appeared to be some drops of fuel coming from the cylinder where the spark plug had failed or on the spark plug itself; however, each of these complainants reported that there was no smoke or flames as a result of his incident.As the petitioner noted, and odi¿s analysis showed, it is possible for a spark plug to detach from the engine cylinder threads in the subject vehicles.However, odi¿s analysis of 474 complaints describing such incidents found only a very few alleged any safety-related consequences.None of these showed any evidence of a serious safety consequence.Given the large population and relatively long exposure time of the subject vehicles, the complaint analysis indicates that the risk to motor vehicle safety from the alleged defect is very low.In view of the foregoing, it is unlikely that nhtsa would issue an order for the notification and remedy of the alleged defect at the conclusion of the investigation requested in the petition.Therefore, in view of the need to allocate and prioritize nhtsa¿s limited resources to best accomplish the agency¿s safety mission, the petition is denied.

• Engine stalling investigation # EA05003

  In a june 7, 2005 letter, ford notified odi that it would be conducting a safety recall of approximately 180,000 ford f-super duty, excursion and e-series vehicles equipped with 6.0l diesel engines to correct two wiring related conditions that could result in engine stall (nhtsa recall no. 05v-270, ford no. 05s34).The affected vehicles were built between september 29, 2003 and may 31, 2004.According to ford, vehicles with the conditions may stall without warning and may or may not restart.Ford will instruct owners of vehicles included in the recall to take their vehicles to a dealer to have the fuel injector control module wire harness upgraded or replaced and or have a new injection control pressure sensor connector installed.During a may 2005 presentation to odi, ford identified a number of potential failure mechanisms that could affect engine performance in various segments of the subject vehicle population, including the wiring conditions addressed by 05v-270.The wiring conditions, which both affect engine fueling, were the most likely conditions to result in engine stall.The recalled vehicles comprise approximately 43% of the subject vehicle population and account for 75 of the 113 odi reports that have a valid vin (66%).The voq complaint rate for the recall population is 45/100k while the rate for vehicles outside the recall population is 17/100k and their trend (by date of receipt) is declining.Based on the analysis, odi believes ford?S actions are sufficient to address the current safety risks and the investigation is thus closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety related defect does not exist.Further action will be taken if warranted by future circumstances.

Just driving on highway 41 and it just stopped. Engine went dead. Pulled over to side of road and tried starting again and it wouldnt start. Had to get it towed. Its been in shop for 20 days. Needs a new fuel tank because the inner lining is peeling and particles are going through engine! Need help i purchased this truck in 2015 and its been in shop 7 different times.

While preparing for a camping trip this pass summer, i went to check the oil level. When i went to remove the oil dipstick, the dipstick tube broke, due to corrosion. This is the first time in my 25 years of owning a vehicle for that to happen. It would be alright, but in order to replace the tube, it is required to remove the exhaust manifold to properly replace it. In turn it cost more money to replace a product that should not break. I was fueling my truck and wanted to check all my fluids.

My dome and running board lights on my 2003 ford f350 super duty, 4 door truck, stay on when i am driving and when the vehicle is turned off and locked. Also while driving, the dash vehicle light is red showing that all 4 doors are open. Ican be parked or moving, the lights stay on. Both my batteries drain. So i hav to carry jumper cables.

As i am sure you must be aware of this issue: i purchased used a 2003 ford -f350. I had many issues and had worked most of them out. There were many issues that were possible i was clearly unaware of. One being of utmost safety to myself and others. My high pressure oil pump located inside the engine of my 2003 ford f-350 6.0 diesel failed. When that happens the engine stops. The high pressure oil pump provides needed pressure to the injectors in order to have a running engine. Being parked and the hpop failing is one thing however driving 55mph on a 2 lane highway against oncoming traffic on a turn is a very bad situation. I am fortunate that i am still very strong at the age of 54. My hpop failed going 55mph on a long left hand turn. As the engine shuts down by brakes are limited to a small amount of storage and then they fail. The steering however fails immediately. I was heading strait head on i to a tracktor trailer rig. It took every ounce of strength to attempt to steer this vehicle out of the other land and brake getting it off the road asap. If the big rig had not made an attempt to miss me, i wouldnt be sending this letter. I wonder how many other people had not the strength to steer out of a situation or have time to stop and were killed. The report most likely said" driver fell asleep." or something to that affect. There is no way this engine should be allowed to continue operation on the road period. Ford should honor all current owners of this vehicle with a very reasonable settlement not to mention having a formal investigation into this matter. I know of no other vehicles on the road that have such an issue. Complete failure of steering and brakes due to an unforeseen internal mechanical issue is a very poor design. Running out of fuel is one thing, however running out of control is absurd. Had i know who to write too sooner i would have.

The passenger side rear spark plug blew out of the socket

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 ford f-350. While driving 50 mph, the contact crashed into another vehicle. None of the air bags deployed. The vehicle was towed to a collision center and the dealer was not contacted as of yet. A police report was filed. The contact sustained a neck fracture that required medical attention. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 147,000.

I purchased lt265/75/16 bf goodrich rugged terrain t/a tires for my truck exactly 5 years and just over 21k miles later i had 2 separate tire failures less than a few hundred miles apart. First tire a belt slipped. Had a giant bulge in the tread. I put my spare on and inspected the other tires. All ok. No cracks no dry rot. I have pics. Tire pressure set equally at 78 psi. I was away camping and pulling a 9000 lb trailer. Local tire store didn't have a replacement so i headed home figured i would replace it with another matching tire at home. About 100 miles later we had a second tire fail. This one blew out at highway speed, causing a lot of damage to the truck and left me stranded with no spare. After doing so research and reading bfg recalls for tires similar to this one but different sizes, i am left to wonder if all of these sizes should have been included in the recall. The recall tires failed in the same manner as mine that was not included only because of the size and i was never notified. I had my wife and 3 kids in the truck and it was a dangerous situation. The tire blew out on the pa turnpike. 65 mph while towing a heavy trailer. Sunny. 85* day. The bulged tire happened a low speed. 25 mph on back roads. All of these tires should have been included in the recall it is dangerous to have them on the road.
