| May 19, 2011 at around 4:20 am we were awaken by our neighbors that our truck was on fire. our 2001 ford f150 was on fire, an explosion had made a huge hole in the hood on the front of the driver side. the truck had last been driven the morning of may 17, 2011 and had been sitting in our driveway since then. the firemen said the fire was due to electrical wiring. we always kept up with all required maintenance. we had no idea of the problems fords were having, we now only have one vehicle to get around and the worst part is that it's a 2004 ford f250 which could also be a recall vehicle. our income is very tight because my mother is very sick and we are sending money for her medication and expenses, we have no way of getting another vehicle. our ford f250 is a diesel and diesel fuel is very high. someone please help! not sure what we're suppose to do or if ford will be responsible. | |||

| I own a 2001 f-150 ford truck. i have experienced 3x now in a year the spark plugs blowing out of the heads. the first 2x it scared me half to death to the point i lost control for a few seconds ( thank god no one was on the road at the time). i have had the plugs heli-coiled in twice and waiting on the 3rd one now. the ford dealership i take the truck to says, it is a poor design in the heads of this motor that causes the plugs to blow out and ford motor company knows about the problem. i am concerned that it will happen to someone else and cause serious injury or even death due to the explosion sound at first and the extremely loud knocking noise. | |||
