2007 FORD F-150 Complaints

NOTICED SEVERE GAS FUMES INSIDE CAB, AS WELL AS OUTSIDE CAB. RAISE HOOD , STARTED ENGINE AND NOTICED FUEL LEAK ABOUT THE SIZE OF A PENCIL STREAMING OUT FROM HOSE THAT IS ATTACHED TO FUEL RAIL. REMOVED FUEL RAIL THE NEXT DAY AND FOUND A SPLIT IN THE HOSE UNDER THE CLOTH PROTECTIVE OUTER LINING. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR FAILURE. ?. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS SITUATION IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LONGER DISTANCE ROAD TRIP. FAILURE P/N 5C3Z97F792DA FUEL RAIL. *TR

STEERING COLUMN SHAFT HAS 2 UNIVERSAL JOINTS IN IT. THE JOINTS ARE NON SERVICEABLE AND SEIZED UP DUE TO CORROSION. THE TRUCK BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD NOT RETURN WHEN GOING AROUND A CORNER. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

ELECTRICAL WIRING ON THE FRAME UNDER DRIVERS DOOR WIRES ARE CORRODING . MANY OF THE 2007 FORD F150 HAS UNDER LAY WIRES GOING TO THE FUEL TAKE TO THE COMPUTER UNDER THE HOOD. *TR

DRIVING ON A 2 LANE ROAD COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT, TRUCK SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, COULD NOT RESTART, HAD TO CALL FOR TOW TRUCK, SITTING ON ROADWAY AT A 3 WAY RUSH HOUR INTERSECTION FOR HALF HOUR WAITING FOR TOW. REPAIR COST $350.00 DOLLARS. PLUS $100.00 DOLLARS TOWING. *TR

THIS TRUCK WAS NEVER DRIVEN MUCH AND DRIVEN 24 MILES ROUND TRIP A DAY. DONT UNDERSTAND WHY SOMETHING SO MAJOR COULD HAPPEN WITHOUT WARNING. WILL NEVER BUY A FORD. THE TRUCK DONT STAND UP TO PREFORMANCE. *TR

IN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG, AND THEN CLATTERING. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A BLOWN SPARK PLUG. THE THREADS ON THE ENGINE HEAD AND SPARK PLUG WERE STRIPPED/SMASHED. THE COIL WAS COIL WAS ALSO DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR. BOTH MECHANICS I SAW TO FIX THE PROBLEM WERE WELL AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH BLOWN SPARK PLUGS IN THE F150, AND ON-LINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE F150 SINCE 1997. THE SPARK PLUGS WERE FACTORY INSTALLED, AND I WAS SILL UNDER THE MILEAGE RECOMMENDATION FOR NEW PLUGS. VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT FORD WOULD NOT STEP-UP TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS THEIR PROBLEM AND PAY FOR THE FIX. THE FORD CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS REP I SPOKE WITH CLAIMED TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. *TR

MY 2007 FORD F150 HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM, WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, THE ENGINE SURGES FORWARD THE RPM GAUGE WILL FALL TO 400 RPM AND WITHOUT WARNING IT SURGES TO 1000 TO 1200 RPM MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL THE TRUCK, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD, I AM A REPEAT FORD CUSTOMER, BUT WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH MY F150 IT HAS ONLY 35000 MILES FORD WILL LOOSE ME AS A CUSTOMER FOR SURE . *TR

I HAVE FORDS 35.6 GALLON TANK, HOWEVER THE SENSOR KEEPS RESETTING TO 28 GALLONS FOR A NORMAL GAS READING. I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED 3 TIMES NOW AND FORD SAYS THE SENSOR IS THE SAME THING WITH A SWITCH THAT NO LONGER WORKS, THE REFUSE TO REPAIR THE GAS SENSOR AND I NEVER HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY TANK. IT OFTEN CHANGES MID DRIVE FROM A 3/4 TANK TO JUST ABOVE HALF A TANK AND IS NOT STEADY. IT WON'T REGISTER ACCURATELY. THE DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED THE ENGINEERS AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DON'T CARE AND WON'T COME OUT AND FIX IT BUT ITS A KNOWN ISSUE. CAUSING ME TO BE LEFT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH WHAT I THOUGHT WAS GAS, BUT TURNED OUT WAS AN EMPTY TANK. *TR

THERE IS A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE MOTOR ALREADY REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND O2 SENSORS AND THE SOUND IS STILL THERE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.WHEN THE TRUCK GAINS SOME SPEED THE TRUCK SHAKES DON'T FEEL REAL SAFE DRIVING IT LONG DISTANCES. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 FORD F-150 WITH A 5.4L V8 ENGINE. THERE WAS INTERMITTENT RATTLE NOISE (KNOCKING) AND ROUGH IDLE. AFTER THE VEHICLE WARMS UP AND I COME TO A STOP OR SLOW ROLL THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE AND A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE IS HEARD IN THE ENGINE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS ENGINE AND FORD DENIES IT IS. I HAD IT FIXED IN SEPTEMBER 2011, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY WITH 49,934 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING AND CURRENTLY HAS 82,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS INFORMED BY BOTH THE DEALER AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY THEY WILL NOT REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS PRIOR ISSUE DURING THE WARRANTLY TIME. DEALER WANTS APPROXIMATELY $300.00 TO INSPECT TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT HAPPENS DURING SLOW SPEEDS OR IDLE AT STOP LIGHTS AND ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE OR REV UP THE RPMS. I BELIEVE THE TSB WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE IN 2010 BUT THE MANUFACTURE HAS NOT NOTIFIED CONSUMERS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND FORD MOTOR NEEDS TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE ENGINE AT THEIR COST. *JS
