I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE ON FORD F150. MY CONCERN IS I BROKE DOWN ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE OF CONTROL MODULE FAILURE. ON A 2007 MODEL. LITTLE SCARY ON THE FREEWAY. I THINK SOME ONE SHOULD LOOK IN TO MAYBE A RECALL ON THIS PART. SO NO ONE ELSE WILL EXPERIENCE THE SCARY BRAKE DOWN I HAD ON THE FREEWAY [I-75]. *TR

THE TRUCK BEGAN TO MAKE A CRACKLING SOUND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRUCK MOVED VERY SLOW.

ENGINE MAKES A KNOCKING NOISE. I WAS TOLD BY A FORD DEALER THAT THEY CAN'T REPAIR IT BECAUSE FORD DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE. I WAS TOLD BY FORD DEALER TO DRIVE IT TILL IT QUITS. THE ENGINE COULD LOCK UP AT ANY TIME, POSSIBLY ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *TR

AIR VENT ADJUSTMENT FAILURE, REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF PLENUM CHAMBER. CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WAS THE FAILURE OF THE ADHESIVE ON TWO FOAM PIECES ATTACHED TO TWO AIR BLEND DOORS WHICH JAMMED BECAUSE THE FOAM FELL OFF AND PREVENTED THE DOORS FROM MOVING. IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REMOVED AT A COST OF JUST UNDER $1000. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD FOR HELP IN COVERING THIS EXPENSE AND THEY HAVE DENIED IT SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL NOTICE OUTSTANDING. ON LINE SITES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE EXTENSIVE REPAIR COST ARE IN THE HUNDREDS. *TR

CHANGED THE SPARKPLUGS ON OUR 2007 FORD F-150, AND SPARKPLUG BROKE OFF IN THE HEAD, HAD TO BUY A SPECIAL TOOL TO REMOVE IT. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND ARE CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLES. HOW CAN FORD AND MOTORCRAFT GET AWAY WITH A POOR DESIGN WHILE CONSUMERS HAVE TO SUFFER AND FOOT THE BILL FOR THEIR MISTAKES. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *KB
