Takata recall. while i was driving i noticed a loud pop and my truck started vibrating and spun me sideways going down the highway. i had fought it until i was able to get it under control and come to a stop. (i was lucky enough that nobody else was heading in my direction because the truck took up both sides of the road). i got out and looked to see what had happened and seen my aluminum ford factory rim had busted into pieces. takata recall. a problem that i am having as of right now is spark plugs keep flying out and destroying my coil packs. this is the third time it has done this.

My 2002 ford f-150 extended cab 5.4litre pickup blew a spark plug out of the number 3 cylinder. i called the local dealer to inquire as to the price of replacing an exhaust gasket as this is what the noise sounded like. the service adviser after hearing the make model and size engine and year of the truck said, "no you did not blow the exhaust gasket, you blew a spark plug out of the head". i was astounded as to how he could make a diagnosis of this type as i had never even heard of such an occurrence. the cost would be a minimum of $850.00. after going on the internet this seems to be a prevalent problem. *tr

(1) truck's bed spreading apart and ignition/wiring shortage (2) the bed of my truck has spread apart for no reason at all. i cannot even shut my tailgate. my truck's battery continues to run down. when i turn on my truck, the starter doesn't want to stop. a light displays, "door opened!" the windshield wipers stopped working. the music goes on and off. (3) i took my truck to the dealer to get the bed fixed. they set me an appointment. i made another trip over an hour one way to get fixed and then they didn't fix. my warranty has just recently ran out. i am having several problems and don't know what is the matter. i haven't had no luck with talking with a ford mechanic. the wires in the steering column looks too tight or loose. there is a constant buzzing sound. my clock and mileage readings erases. my windows stop working. this only happens when i place the truck in drive. most of the time everything starts working once placed in park. i only have close to 70,000 miles. this has been going on for months.*ak
The truck had a heating system failure. the door located in the heating unit (that opens and closes when the temperature is adjusted) became stuck in the open position which allowed only cold air to enter the air vent. the consumer had to turn off the heat system to prevent hyperthermia. as a result the defogger system couldn't be used which caused poor visibility. the dealership replaced the door and other components. *nm the dealer also replaced the temperature potentiometer and actuator. *nm *tc
