| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 ford expedition 5.4. i was driving home with my two children when i heard a loud bang/pop and my truck came to a halt. i had it towed to a local repair shop to find out the noise i heard was my spark plug that had blown out and hit the aluminum heads causing damage. the heads were sent out to a machine shop and when it was all said and done, i paid over $3,000 to fix it. a few days after picking it up, i had to take it back in because a cool pack went bad, this was like my third one so far. this all happened in october 2006 and not even 6 months later in march or april, my truck was back to barely running/moving. i had it towed again and once again its the engine. it has been a viscous cycle and one thing after another. it will cost me at least $5,000. to replace the motor with just a remanufactured one. in the last year the truck has sat in my yard more than half the time due to engine trouble. i am unable to get to and from work which is causing my family major financial stress. i cannot afford to fix this again. i still owe over $15,000. on the truck and am paying $420. per month for something not even running. i am stuck between a rock and a hard place. i don't understand why ford will not stand behind their product. any help/advice will be greatly appreciated. *tr |
