2006 Ford F-150: engine knocking or ticking

Filed Feb 26, 2018 · Engine · 99,495 miles · AZ

Bought a used ford f 150 with 65700 miles in april 2011. After 7 years and only putting on 34700 miles there is a loud ticking coming from the engine. It has gotten so bad that the truck engine looses power and when it does have some power it feels like the whole front shakes as if the tire is coming off. Ford states the engine should be replaced or some other problems that seem to be inherent with the 5.4 and no way is ford even wanting to fix

My 2006 f-150 with the 4.6l motor ejected a spark plug from the cylinder without warning. I went to crank the vehicle on 2/19/10, and there was a horrendous knocking or tapping sound. I was on my way out of town, so I did not have time to do a thorough check of what could be wrong. I shut the vehicle off and left it sitting until I returned on 2/21/2010. Upon looking, I noticed that the second cylinder in from the firewall on the passenger side had ejected the plug from the cylinder well. When I went to try to put the plug back in, it would not tighten. I jiggled the plug and ratchet extension and noticed that the threaded area to accept the plug was much larger than the stock plug. I understand that ford has used many excuses as to why this happens, but I assure you that I have purchased no new parts. This vehicle is now unusable, and is my primary transportation to and from work. There is obviously an issue with these motors and ejecting plugs, so my question is why has ford not stepped up to address this issue?

I own a 2006 ford f-150 supercrew 4x4. It has about 90,000 miles on it. My motor has knocked since purchasing the vehicle. I have taken it to the dealership several times to try and correct the problem. It has a 5.4 l engine in it. I have had the plugs replaced which cost me 800 dollars due to the mechanics breaking two plugs and I had to pay them to fix the problem. My issue, is there a problem with the motor knocking/tapping when idling. If so how can it be fixed. The dealership is not help.
