I have to replace spark plugs every week. The engine either keeps making the plugs foul out, or it burns the tip right off the engine. I'm starting to see from the complaints this is a common issue. I don't feel safe driving the vehicle with my 6 kids because of how bad it keeps missing and trying to die. I change plugs then drives well for about a week.

My truck was purchased new and I have recently had more fuel gas waste quickly in the past year. I recently had the fuel line changed in June 2017 because a spark plug burnt out and caused it to have a leak that was dangerously close to the gas tank. I have 123K miles on it and the check engine line comes on every time after half a gas tank is done. I had the truck driving and it shuts off on its own. Sometimes it will have a strong shaking of the motor or no warning at all while driving on the road. I'm very concerned because we thought it was the camshaft which is what the error code pops up and the spark plugs and coils have been replaced. Every thing else has been maintained but I'm still have the engine and fuel problem. The gas goes so fast and this is a V8 where I usually drive a 6 mile to work now says it has been a 40 mile drive. Don't know what else to do and may take it back to trade for another vehicle brand. I had to park the truck after it shut off on me again on a side street before getting on the highway.

I have the 5.4 engine in my 2007 Ford Expedition with only 70,000 miles which I purchased in 2007. I am now experiencing cam sensor problems, throttle body problems and need major repairs. I have visited many sites and understand that Ford has been sued because of complaints with this particular engine and nothing came from this suit. This started around 2-3 weeks ago, I had been traveling for 2-1/2 hours and just pulled off the highway to enter into my housing plan, when my car lost rpms, became very rough, and then stalled. When the vehicle is on open it road it rides great until you slow down and the RPM falls, then it stumbles and stalls. I had at the dealership a couple of times, but until check engine light came on, I could not get it diagnosed. Over the weekend the check engine light finally lite and as I stated it is the cam position senors and states that the systems too rich. I talked with a Ford rep today and this will be about a $2000 repair bill, but until I can get it to them and they place on their computer, they cannot give me their final estimate if it can be repaired or I need a new engine. I have many misgivings about this since all that I have read on the internet about all the problems with this particular engine. Ford should be held accountable for a faulty engine, and buyers should be made aware of this problem especially when they are buying a used vehicle from a Ford dealership who is definitely aware of this problem.

The first occurrence was the transmission slipping on acceleration and stopping or going up hill. Its been to our Ford dealer where we purchased it and at first they felt it and said they fixed it but now everytime I take it in for that or the ac blower going off and on they say they don't feel or see anything it gotten ridiculous. In the freeway I-10 me and my son were trying to accelerate on and almost got hit by a semi truck the vehicle would not go fast enough. I wont bother with the dealership here in town they don't care. It has happened many times and now the air bag light goes off and on in temperature change it seems like. Our dealer fixed the door handle but now any rain the inside of our door fills with water and they say its not there fault and wont fix that either. Very disappointed with Ford. Spoke to them about the air bag and they also say they wont fix. We have had nothing but problems with this 40000 SUV very dangerous to drive and its suppose to be a family vehicle....right we get no update or recalls info and our dealership is the worst I've ever dealt with

2007 Ford Expedition. Began to spit and sputter going 45mph. Engine light came on. Took to auto shop for repair. Cost was $1,100 to replace 8 spark plugs and wires. Ford used a defective spark plug in this vehicle. The plug breaks off in the engine when removing them. Ford knew of the issue and did nothing about it. This issue with these plugs began in early 2000's. Ford should have recalled these plugs long ago. There are many class action lawsuits ongoing related directly to the faulty spark plug. If I had know about the plugs before I bought the truck, I would have had Ford replace them before I even drove it.
