| 1998 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | I HAVE A 1998 FORD F-150 4.2 V6 4X4 TRUCK, WHICH HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP MECHANIC HOW NOTORIOUS THIS MOTOR IS FOR THE PROBLEM THAT HAS ERUPTED WITH MY VEHICLE, BUT FORD REFUSES TO TAKE ANY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OR ACTION. THE TRUCK STARTED MAKING A LOUD- KNOCKING SOUND ONE MORNING IMMEDIATELY AFTER I STARTED THE TRUCK FOR WORK. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED TO ME THAT FORD HAD A BAD INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET, WHICH ALLOWED COOLANT(ANTI-FREEZE) TO LEAK INTO THE OIL AND SPARK-PLUGS CAUSING THIS LOUD-KNOCKING NOISE WHICH IS A SPUN ROD BEARING. I KEEP REGULAR CHECK-UPS ON ALL ASPECTS(OIL LEVEL,COOLANT,ETC.) IF IT WERE A PROBLEM THAT I CAUSED, I WOULD ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS NOT MY LACK OF MAINTENANCE , BUT A KNOWN ISSUE AMONG THE 4.2 V6 FORD MOTOR. FORD MOTOR CO. HAS MADE MY LIFE PURE HELL. I DO NOT HAVE $4,$5 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE THEIR MISTAKE. I NOW STRUGGLE TO KEEP A JOB AND MAKE PAYMENT ON A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T RUN. ALSO,MY WIFE AND KID WHO DEPEND ON DADDY ARE READY TO LEAVE HOME BECAUSE HE IS A FAILURE( NO VEHICLE+NO MONEY=DIVORCE) ( NO TRUCK=NO JOB) !!!! ENOUGH OF MY PROBLEMS, BUT I'M NOW READY TO START LOSING WHAT MEANS MORE THAN ANYTHING IN LIFE TO ME AND THAT IS MY FAMILY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM BY SPEAKING WITH FORD MECHANICS ,REVIEWING WEBSITES, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. FORD HAS FAILED AND NOW THIS INTERNAL DAMAGE IS LEADING TO MY PERSONAL LIFE. I'M GOING TO LOSE EVERYTHING. I HOPE YOU WILL HELP ME AND THE OTHER THOUSANDS OF 4.2 V6 OWNERS WHO DESPERATELY NEED ASSISTANCE, PLEASE! THANK YOU!! PS. I HOPE ONE DAY THE OWNER OF FORD,CAN SLEEP KNOWING MY LITTLE GIRL/WIFE WILL NOT ENJOY CHRISTMAS AS A FAMILY DUE TO HIS GREED TO FIX THIS ERROR ON HIS BEHALF. EVER SPEND CHRISTMAS MORNING BY YOUR(LONESOME)SELF MR. FORD? MERRY CHRISTMAS. *JB |

THIS TIME I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ROLL THE WINDOW UP THERE WAS A "POP" AND THE WINDOW FELL DOWN> IT STARTLED ME CAUSING ME TO SWERVE AND NEARLY HIT A VEHICLE NEXT TO ME. *TR |
