Sparkplug ejected out of motor on right side and another sparkplug on the left side keeps missing out because of oil in it. I can't keep fighting repairs I'm still paying on it. From what I'm hearing there is several motors doing this. I would like to see this problem solved please or ford can pay my tow bills. My cruise control quit working. I have a rumble in rear end when turning corners. I have had it looked at, different things fixed and no repair facility can figure it out. I work 60 minutes away and I can't keep getting stranded in it and I'm very tired of it.

2002 ford f-250 5.4l spark plug loosened and blew out of cylinder head. 3rd plug from the front on passenger side. Strong smell of gasoline. Broke the coil over plug, could have broken the fuel rail and resulted in fire. Repair cost not yet available - will attempt to fix myself as out of warranty. Cruise control also not working but this truck not included in past recall - concerned about fire hazard in cruise control also.
