2007 FORD F-150 Complaints

I BOUGHT A NEW 2007 FORD F150 IN 2007. IT IS NOW 2010 WITH 44K MILES. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED IT WITH THE EMER. BRAKE, TIRES AND FRONT END POPPING, BUT TODAY WAS THE WORST! I WAS DRIVING APPROX 50 MPH TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND MY TRUCK BEGAN ACCELERATING! I STARTED BRAKING AND IT FAILED TO SLOW DOWN AS IT APPROACHED 60MPH. I PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PRACTICALLY STANDING ON IT USING THE STEERING WHEEL FOR LEVERAGE AND IT DID FINALLY SLOW TO ALMOST A STOP BUT THE ENGINE WAS REVVING VERY LOUD AND YOU COULD FEEL THE TRUCK PULLING FORWARD AS I HAD THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO START CUTTING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO KEEP FROM HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE STOP LIGHT. I FINALLY IN PANIC MODE KEPT MY FEET ON THE BRAKE, ENGINE REVVING THE WHOLE TIME AND SHIFTED INTO PARK. IT FINALLY STOPPED AND THE ENGINE SLOWED. I WAS SCARED TO PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE. I DID HOWEVER PUT IT IN DRIVE AND SLOWLY STARTED MOVING FORWARD AS A POLICEMAN BEHIND ME BLUE LIGHTED ME TO PULL OVER. I WAS RELIEVED TO SEE HIM THINKING HE HAD WITNESSED THE EVENT AND WAS GOING TO HELP. I WAS PHYSICALLY SHAKING AND MY 7 YEAR OLD WAS CRYING VERY SCARED ASKING ME, "MOMMY WHY DID OUR TRUCK NOT STOP AND SOUND LIKE A RACE CAR?" I ASKED THE POLICEMAN DID YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED? HE SAID, "YES MAM I SAW YOU TRYING TO STOP BUT THAT ISN'T WHY I PULLED YOU, I CLOCKED YOU GOING 60 IN A 45 APPROACHING THE LIGHT." I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO HIM WHAT HAPPENED. HE DID SEE HOW THE TRUCK DIDN'T WANT TO STOP BUT HAD TO TICKET ME NEVER THE LESS BECAUSE OF THE ACCELERATION. I JUST GOT HOME AND STARTED LOOKING ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE 148 OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH NO RECALL OR EXPLANATION FROM FORD! I AM TAKING MY TRUCK TOMORROW TO THE SHOP TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND THE COMPUTER SCANNED FOR ANY ERROR CODES! WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE! PLEASE DON'T WAIT LIKE TOYOTA UNTIL SOMEONE DIES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! PLEASE HELP! *TR

MY TRUCK STARTING HAVING BRAKES PROBLEMS (VIBRATION WHEN STOPPING) AT AROUND 25,000 MILES. TOOK IT IN TO DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION WITH 29,000 MILES ON IT. ENDED UP MACHINING ALL ROTORS (NOT UNDER WARRANTY). I'M NOW EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AT 42,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THE ROTORS AND CALIPERS ARE SEVERELY UNDERSIZED CONSIDERING THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK. I SUGGEST THAT FORD MAKE GOOD ON THE NEXT BRAKE JOB. HAD A 88 CHEVY P/U AND WENT 75,000 MILES BEFORE REPLACING THE FRONT PADS. FORD HAS ERRED ON IT'S ENGINEERING. *TR

SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT ON MY 2007 F150 WITH THE 5.4L MODULAR ENGINE. SPARK PLUGS WERE THE FACTORY PLUGS AND AS I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW THEIR IS NO WAY THAT THEY HAVE EVER BEEN CHANGED AND IMPROPERLY TORQUED AS THE FORD DEALER TOLD ME AFTER IT HAPPENED.

I HAVE A 2007 FORD F150 4WD PICKUP TRUCK. I HAVE 22,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND JUST HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT UPPER BALL JOINTS. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE FORD GARAGE THEY INDICATED THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE FAILURE MECHANISM IF THE UPPER BALL JOINT FAILS IS FOR THE WHEEL TO FOLD UNDER THE VEHICLE AND POTENTIALLY RUPTURE THE BRAKE LINES IN THE PROCESS. THEY INDICATED THIS FAILURE WOULD BE WORSE WHILE PULLING A TRAILER. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY OFFERED NO EXPLANATION OR ASSISTANCE AS THE TRUCK IS OFF WARRANTY. *TR
