The spark plugs in the 2004 f-150 pickup trucks did not get anit-seize compound when installed in factories. just google 2004 f-150 spark plugs and you will see much more information. now when you replace the spark plugs, they have a tendency to break off. dealership cost to replace the spark plugs is $350.00 plus $90.00 for each spark plug that is broken. this is an obvious design flaw that is costing the public millions of dollars world wide and the ntsb needs to step in and order a recall to protect consumers and stop ford from taking advantage of the consumers because of their spark plug design flaw.. | |||

While driving my 2004 f150 and approaching a red light or turn my truck will intermittently shut off and need to be restarted. on several occasions i have had to put both hands on the wheel and crank (no power steering) or both feet on the brakes (no power brakes) because the truck turned off and i lost all power functions. it wouldn't have been as big of a deal if the dealer in my area hadn't told me this was normal for f150s and sent me on my way. since that dealer i have dealt with 2 others in my area who say its normal and to just drive my truck until it fixes itself. i wasn't aware that ford made self diagnosing/fixing vehicles. in either case i am extremely upset that this problem is for some reason not considered a problem and that there is no current fix for this issue. i no longer feel safe in my truck and have resorted to driving my parents vehicles until i can rid myself of this death trap. on another note i have also had the vehicle flash dash board lights at me after going over small bumps and then shutting off 1/4 of a mile later. when this problem was brought up the dealer said it was impossible (it's happened twice) and that i had to be imagining it. | |||

2004 ford f-150 power window regulator failed on two of the four doors while driving causing the windows to come crashing down shattering one. contacted landers ford in collierville, tn, who sold me replacements parts but, since the parts are not part of a recall, would not provide without cost. both assemblies had to be replaced along with one window. | |||
