Spark knock

ktm300exc22 · 04-03-2007, 10:11 AM

I have a new 2007 F-150 5.4 and I have spark knock. It wasn't evident the 1st month but then started. It has gotten louder. Ford changed the plugs to cool it but it didn't help. Now they say it is the seasonal gas and should improve when the gas changes. I think it is a lemon. I have probably owned 20 vehicles and never had this problem when using the specified gas. Please let me know if anyone you know is having the same problem. thanks,
Brian

being that your vehicle is new, i doubt that very many people know. we have a new company truck, 07 f150, and have no problems with it. if there is a problem of any serious nature, it would throw a code. these new model fords are nearly one big rolling computer. as for seasonal gas changes, they were just trying to get you out of their hair. go back and dont take no as an option. depending on how big of an *** you are, they will fix it. i have been asked to leave on several occasions and been instructed not to EVER return to the Peterbuilt dealership.

that's crappy when they wont stand behind their own product. And i'm not saying ford as a whole just the dealers!
