2007 FORD F-150 Complaints

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW. AT APPROX. 22000, I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX 50 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED A SHAKE, RATTLE AND ROLL. IN LESS THAN 1/4 MILE, THE ENGINE LOCKED BUT I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS LATE SATURDAY BUT AFTER 2-3 HOURS FOUND A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND LEFT IT THEIR BACK LOT. I WAS TOLD THE NEXT WEEK THAT FORD WANTED THE ENGINE BACK INTACT. AFTER AROUND THREE WEEKS AND $800+ FOR A RENTAL I GOT THE TRICK BACK WITH A NEW ENGINE. 2800 MILES LATER, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. MY WARRANTY WAS OUT ON TIME BUT FORD DID REPLACE THE ENGINE AGAIN BUT I WAS OUT THE RENTAL CAR--AGAIN $800+. THIS WAS SOME 6 MONTHS BACK AND ALL IS OK FOR NOW BUT I WAS TOLD IF THE ENGINE BLOWS AGAIN FORD WILL NOT COVER IT. AND ON THE 2ND REPLACEMENT (3RD TOTAL) ENGINE THAT PISTONS WERE IN THE OIL PAN. 5.4 ENGINE. *TR

( DO NOT REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE OF FIRST , WAS ABOUT 2011 ) SEARCHED THE NET AND READ TIME AFTER TIME FORD F150 OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SEEMS FORD MUST KNOW ABOUT ISSUE , BUT NOT FIXED OR RECALLED. MY 2014 IGNITION COIL REPAIR COST $94 EACH ONE PLUS LABOR. ( X3 SO FAR ) THIS YEAR , I WANTED 3 MONTHS WITH THE IGNITION COIL ISSUE TO GET THE TIME AND MONEY TO HAVE FORD FIX. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN MY MOTOR TURNED OFF. I HAD NO STEERING AND LITTLE BRAKES TO GET ME OFF THE ROAD. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THE FUEL MODULE WAS CRACKED. THIS IS COMMON ON F150'S AND I FEEL FORD SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THANKS *TR

WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. BEFORE IT WAS A YEAR OLD, WE HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS, THE KNOCKING GOT LOUDER, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL. AS THE YEARS PASSED, WE ASKED OTHER DEALERSHIPS, REPAIR SHOPS, AND THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL. WE WERE ALWAYS TOLD NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. THE KNOCKING SOUND GOT LOUDER, THE ENGINE WAS BOGGING AND TODAY IT IS IN THE SHOP FOR A NEW ENGINE AND WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH $6,000.00. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL????? *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE SO I PULLED OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. I THEN SAW SMOKE LIKE THE ENGINE HAD OVERHEATED BUT IN A MATTER OF SECONDS FLAMES IGNITED AND I QUICKLY GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CALLED 911. AS I WAS SPEAKING TO THE DISPATCHER THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION AND THE WHOLE FRONT OF MY TRUCK WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND PUT OUT THE FIRE MY HOOD WAS TOTALLY BURNED UP THE ENGINE IS BURNED UP AND MELTED AND THE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW BLEW OUT AND THE DASH AND FRONT INTERIOR IS BURNED AND MELTED. I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT IN TIME BECAUSE IT HAPPENED SO QUICKLY. I AM ALSO GLAD MY 10 MONTH OLD SON WAS NOT WITH ME ON THIS DAY. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WENT TO CHANGE LANES AND STEERING FELT REALLY TIGHT COULD BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. PULLED OVER AND CHECKED IT OUT STEERING FLUID WAS GOOD. WAS REALLY HARD TO STEER AND MADE IT HM. CHECKED OUT FORUM AND DECIDED TO SPRAY WD40 ON TURN BUCKLES ON STEERING SHAFT IT STARTED TURNING EASY AGAIN. WILL SEE IF IT LAST. HAVE A FRIEND WHO WORKS FOR THE CITY AS A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID FORD SENT PEOPLE IN TO CHANGE ALL THE CROWN VICS STEERING SHAFT SO THEY KNOW IT IS AN ISSUE. THEY NEED TO FIX ALL OF THE VEHICLES WITH THE PROBLEM. *TR

STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY THEN DIED. TRUCK RESTARTED AND DROVE TO A MECHANIC. WAS TOLD THAT THE ERROR CODES STATED THE CAM SENSORS AND EVERY ERROR FOR THEM CAME UP. HE PULLED UP A BLOG AND SAID THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT ERRORS. SOME DID A QUICK FIX TO SELL OTHERS NEED A NEW MOTOR. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAY A MEMO WENT TO DEALERS BUT UNTIL MORE COME UP THEY WON'T / CAN'T HELP. WAS TOLD IF I GET IT FIXED SAVE THE RECEIPTS. CALLED THE DEALER AND POSSIBLE $6,000-$7,000 FOR NEW MOTOR. *TR
