2007 FORD F-150 Complaints

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A TOWNSHIP ROAD AND MY TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN HAD TO GET IT TOWED LUCKILY I WASN'T ON A BIGGER ROAD OR ELSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DIDN'T KNOW MY TRUCK JUST SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AT FIRST. IT ENDED UP BEING THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE WHICH WAS PUT RIGHT ON THE FRAME AND IT CAUSES CORROSION IF THE PART IS THAT IMPORTANT TO WHERE IT JUST MAKES YOUR TRUCK SHUT OFF IT SHOULDN'T BE WHERE IT IS. I FEEL THESE SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

WAS EXPERIENCING A SHUTTER SIMILAR TO THE FEELING OF A MISFIRE WHEN ACCELERATING UP A GRADE FROM LEVEL ROAD CONDITIONS. THIS SHUTTER WAS BETWEEN 1250 AND 1500 RPM. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FORD DEALERSHIP WHO ELIMINATED COIL PACK AND TORQUE CONVERTER AS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I HAD TAKEN ANOTHER VEHICLE I OWN TO A REPAIR SHOP I HAVE USED FOE SEVERAL YEARS FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE I MENTIONED THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH MY 2007 FORD F150 AND THEY ADVISED THAT MY PROBLEM WAS PROBABLY MISFIRE ON ONE OR MORE PLUGS. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THEY HAD DEALT WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. THEY PROCEEDED TO INFORM ME THAT THERE WAS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH REPLACING THE PLUGS-THEY COULD BREAK WHEN REMOVING. IF THAT HAPPENS AND IT DID (4 PLUGS BROKE) THEN ADDITIONAL LABOR COSTS WOULD BE ADDED TO MY BILL. END RESULT A BILL FOR $600.00 TO REPLACE 8 SPARK PLUGS. ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. AS A PART OF THIS EXPERIENCE I HAVE LEARNED THAT FORD MFG THIS ENGINE FROM 2005-2007 AND WHEN THIS ISSUE BEGAN TO SURFACE THAT THEY CHANGED THE ENGINE DESIGN TO ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. FORD WAS OBVIOUSLY AWARE THAT A FUTURE PROBLEM WAS GOING TO BE FACED BY THE CONSUMER. WHY SHOULD WE THE CONSUMER HAVE TO BEAR THE FULL EXPENSE TO PAY FOR THEIR FLAWED DESIGN IN THIS ENGINE. THEY SHOULD BE WILLING TO ADMIT THEIR MISTAKE BUT APPARENTLY IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOME LEGAL PRESSURE TO GET THIS DONE. IF THEY DO NOT STEP UP I WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER FORD.

ON MY 2007 FORD F 150 SPORT I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. I STRUCK A LIGHT POLE ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE ON THE RIGHT FRONT BUMPER AND THE RIGHT FRONT PANEL. AFTER HITTING THE POLE, I WENT DOWN A HILL AND HIT TREES FROM THERE. IT DID MORE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK YET STILL NOTHING FROM THE AIRBAGS. IT WAS ENOUGH FORCE TO CRUSH THE HOOD, AND THE ENTIRE RIGHT PANEL. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND 1 PERSON WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. FROM WHAT I AM READING, IT TAKE 18-20 LBS OF PRESSURE TO HAVE THEM DEPLOY. IT WAS FOR SURE ENOUGH FORCE TO HAVE THEM DEPLOY AND ACCORDING TO OFFICERS AT THE SCENE, NO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND AS TO WHY THEY NEVER DEPLOYED? I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET AN ANSWER ON THIS, AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF FORD EVER RECALLED THIS ISSUE? I ALSO HAVE PICTURES OF THE ACCIDENT. THANK YOU! *TR

I WAS STOPPING AND ABOUT TO PARK INTO A PARKING STALL. AS I WAS APPLYING MY BRAKE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. IT JUMPED A CURB, CROSSED A LANDSCAPE ISLAND, TOOK DOWN SHRUBS, THEN STOPPED ON THE OTHER SIDE. IT HAPPENED FEW OTHER TIMES, BUT NOT TO THIS EXTEND. OTHER TIMES I THOUGHT I MAY HAVE ACCIDENTALLY PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL, AND DID NOT PAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION. ONE OTHER TIME IT HAPPENED, IT WAS RAINING WHEN I THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS THE RAIN THAT CAUSED IT. *TR

THE TRUCK BEGAN TO BUCK VIOLENTLY AND DROPPED TO 20MPH WITH OUT A WARNING OR LIGHTS. THEN IT STARTED TO RUN NORMAL THEN STARTED THE SAME THING ALL OVER 20 MINUTES LATER. COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE SPARK PLUGS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. NO GARAGE WILL TOUCH IT DUE TO FORDS POOR DESIGN FORD SAYS IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS PLUS DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN THE SPARK PLUGS CAN BRAKE IN THE CYLINDER HEADS. THEY SAID IT CAN BE $50.00 PER BROKEN SPARK PLUG AND POSSIBLY MORE IF THE PLUG CANNOT REMOVE BROKEN PART. I SHOULD ONLY PAY FOR PLUGS NOT FORDS DESIGN FLOOR WHICH NEED TO BE RECALLED. *TR
