What owners wrote
1999 ford expedition collided head-on with another vehicle. Both were travelling at highway speeds. The expedition immediately caught fire, including the passenger compartment.the fire wall failed and fuel apparently fed the fire.
Spark plugs blow out of cylinder heads on the 5.4 v-8 and on the v-10 motors as well. This has happened to me three times and ford recognizes the problem. It needs to be investigated as this is a potential fire issue, and may result in loss of control.
