I was driving on the highway and the spark plug blew out of the motor and broke the coil. This has happened two more times since. I have never had this happen on any vehicle in my life.

The plug has blown out for some reason, I have owned fords for 30 years. After doing talking to people the 5.4 engine has this problem of plugs blowing out. Both my sons and nephew have ford trucks with the 5.4 engine and all have had blown plugs. I am on a fixed income and the cost of this is out of my budget. But I expect ford to stand behind this problem since there has been so many complaints. Can't believe ford has not had a recall on this problem. I do expect ford to stand behind its good name. I talked to some police officers and they said that is the reason that the forces are now buying dodge vehicles, I can't believe that ford would let this happen by being the top makers. This news will go nation wide if ford doesn't deal with this problem now.

Without warning, engine began running rough and sounded like an exhaust leak. Engine was stopped and restarted. Sound got much louder with a bang or clunk under the hood. Truck was stopped at that point and towed to ford dealer. They reported the problem to be a "spark plug had blown out" of the cylinder head. The only repair that they recommended was cylinder head replacement, $2700 and one weeks time. A quick look at the internet, placing the words "spark plug blew out" in yahoo search revealed hundreds of instances of plugs blowing out of ford 5.4 and v10 triton engine, most required cylinder replacement. It is reported that ford will not cover the cost of this cylinder head design flaw regardless of mileage. I believe ford should be required to cover all or part of the cost of this repair, as it is not a result of improper operation ar mainteneance but is obviously a cylinder head design flaw.
