Having owned a 2006 Ford f-150 Harley Davidson edition 5.4 liter rolling turd once I traded it after re installing the vinyl, adding some rubber to the nice wheels, and shortly after owning it having to have the spark plugs changed out that were supposed to last 100,00 miles.... yeah I always thought that was hokie.

SO one day driving the message came on misfire on cylinder# what ever, turns out the spark plug cracked on its own. I knew the f-150s before that had the two valve heads and were garbage having not enough threads for the plugs in the heads thus they were spitting sparkplugs at their leisure causing helicoils or worse....And their frames were worse. I hoped the Triton heads were better yet....

I had to buy 20$ two piece sparkplugs that were so long they informed me the tip of the plugs had to be coated they now determined with crap to keep them from forming too much carbon and cracking when removed... and the life estimate was now down to about 60k... SO The dealer pulled the plugs on this beauty and four broke off in the head the tips thus having to vacuum out and camera the cylinders.

Cost of the spark plug change was $627 and change. That's when I determined I was going to ditch the POS Ford. 300 h.p. and 300 ft. lbs rating made it mediocre, the next year they supercharged it.... I traded it for my first Camaro a 2011 2ss/rs triple black vert the best on the lot.
I was suckered in to look for a ruby red manual coupe which of course was long gone... SO here it is years later on my second gen 5, and in the mail I get a letter from Ford, saying there is a settlement being worked out to recoup costs for those consumers having had problems with their 5.4 engine spark plugs. It says costs over $300 are rated on % you get 25% at 3-500 for the costs over $300 and 50% for costs up to like 750 , then 75% above that.

I talked to the local ford got a print out from their computer and did scan and attached the receipt and expect about $163 back eventually after settlement and did it via computer.

I thought you all ought to know and could spread the word as not everyone who ever owned a Ford affected may be contacted to try to give money to us for their crappy product. http://fordsparkplugsettlement.com/

It affects these products their most popular of course:

2004-2008 Ford F-150 trucks2005-2008 Ford Expeditions2005-2008 Lincoln Navigators2006-2008 Lincoln Mark LTs2005-2008 Ford Super Duty trucks (F-250 and F-350)
SO if you know as I did some other poor Ford owner that drives one of these let them know, and if you own one: I am sorry, good luck to you.

I think I should have been compensated everything above the cost to replace, yet Lawyers have to make a living apparently off of us....... Or Ford owners...lol
