| Spark plug blew out of the head with such force that it cracked the coil and was sparking on the fuel line with fuel vapors coming out of the head at the same time. this could have caused a fire/explosion if the vehicle could not have been shut off quickly enough. i was idle in my driveway and not on the highway where it would have taken longer to shut the vehicle off. internet research returned astonishing amount of complaints for the same issue. | |||

| Ford has a known problem with the windshield allowing water to leak into the cab,over time it has corrupted the wiring,making electrical devices fail to having a dead short that causes power to dash to continue after key is removed,this is a fire hazard at best, to the fact the windshield wipers can fail at any time.ther are many tsb's concerning this problem 99133 98246 976011 98913 to name a few.this also crosses over to several models and years and in canada there is a recall for some of the f series ford truck for this very problem. my problems are typical of all the outhers. ther is rust present under dash,doom lights,door lights,chimes,power windows and windshield wipers do not work. vehicle does not hold charge due to power drain without key in ignition. i have also had a problem with the cruise control not disengaging after tapping brake or throttle i could feel the peddle reset itself after tapping both. i have had the window replaced and resealed. at this point i will be replacing the general electric module and hope that fixes the wipers for me. it's hard to say what else is fried at this point. that part would be available. i may have to replace the fuse panel also. it seems that many of the ford tech's are having a problem with this and its replace parts till you or the problem goes away at your own expense, but no one is taking responsibility for the faulty window install that had caused this in the first place.so to sum it up this vehicle has the potential to spontaneously combust,run away or have the wipers fail at any time also the car fires attributed to the cruise control may in fact be related to this problem. i think someone should take a look at this. *tr | |||

| The anti- theft alarm goes off for no reason at all hours for no reason. rogers ford hchecked it & couldn't get it to go off. i told them they couldn't make it go off. it does it whenever. it's been going on for two years now & it's a real pain in the neck. i see i am not the only one to complain about this. but there are probably thousands who have not sent in a complaint to you. i've emailed ford motor company about it & never got a reply.*ak | |||
