| Due to a design flaw in the ford 5.4 engine my 2002 harley f-150 blew a spark plug last weekend (2/15/04). ford is only willing to replace the one head with the newly designed head (and that is costing me $500 because my truck has 40,000 miles). it's a known design flaw and has happened to many owers with less than 10,000 miles. ford needs to stand behind their product. | |||

| We have owned our 2002 f150 4 door truck for 5 months now purchased in dec 04', we have 34,000 miles on this truck which was purchased used. on saturday 4/23/05 our transmission completely slipped out leaving us no power on a busy, hilly, country road. the truck's rmp's would go up however, the truck was not gaining speed only losing speed, we are very lucky that no one came over the hill, or this would have caused a major wreck. once we got us and vehicle to safety we called our ford dealership chuck anderson ford, who told us to have it towed in. however, they would not cover the tow since it was out of warranty. the vehicle evidently went out of warranty on feb. 14th of this year 2005. i don't believe a truck with only 34,000 miles on it should have a transmission blown in it. we then had the truck taken to the dealership. i have spoken with the dealership today, which we we're told we would have to cover the deductible of $400/500.00 for this repair. they are now tearing the transmission apart. *ak | |||

| Vibration in drivetrain at highway speed (between 65 -75 mph). only happens when truck is under power. as soon as you remove your foot from the pedal, the vibration goes away. drive shaft was replaced over 6 months ago, but that did not fix the issue.*ak | |||
