No problem with my 05 with just a hair over 109 thou. Haven't heard of any problems like
that, but in all honesty I haven't been looking. Hope somebody comes up with something
in case it starts to happen though.

Hey I get this every now and then but I have the 4.6. Sometimes it will just crank so I cycle the key off and back to start and it fires right up. Only does this when hot. Happens like once every two weeks maybe and it's done it as long as I've had it (over 30k miles). I'm sure if it was a problem it would have manifested by now so I don't worry about it.
