2007 FORD F150 HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PLACEMENT OF ITS GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN BRAKING YOU ACCIDENTALLY HIT BOTH PEDALS WHICH CAUSES YOU TO ACCELERATE. I JUST PURCHASED THIS TRUCK AND NOTICED THIS ISSUE. MY BROTHER ALSO NOTICED THIS. IF I LEND MY TRUCK OUT I MAKE SURE I INFORM THE PERSON ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WHEN SEARCHING THE WEB MANY OTHER SITES ARE ADDRESSING THIS SAFETY ISSUE OF ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING. I WONDER WHAT YOUR AGENCY IS DOING REGARDING THIS SAFETY PROBLEM? THE PUBLIC IS AWARE OF IT SO MUCH SO THEY ARE POSTING ABOUT IT. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS, CUSTOMERS HAVE COMPLAINED. SO WHEN IS YOUR AGENCY GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE? *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON STATE HIGHWAY, APPLIED BRAKE, BRAKE PEDAL WENT SLOWLY TO THE FLOOR, AND VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW, CONTINUED ON HELPLESS, UNTIL STRIKING A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. CALLED DEALER WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY BRAKE PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL. CALLED FORD DIRECT, AND THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY BRAKE PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL. INSURANCE ADJUSTER WILL BE HERE TODAY, I WILL NOT LET ANYONE TOUCH THIS VEHICLE UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED, I HAVE NOT SLEPT FOR DAYS, NOT BECAUSE OF MY INJURIES, BUT THE HAUNTING THOUGHTS OF KNOWING I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. *TR

WHEN I TOOK MY 2007 FORD F150 IN FOR TIRE ROTATION, THE FORD TECHNICIAN HAD SAID THAT I HAD CUPPED FRONT TIRES, AT THAT TIME MIRE TIRES HAD ABOUT 9 TO 11 THOUSAND MILES ON THEM AND WERE ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD, FORD WOULD NOT COVER THE ABNORMAL ROUNDING OF THE TIRE AND SAID I SHOULD BUY SOME NEW ONES FROM THEM. A FEW MONTHS LATER MY OTHER TWO TIRES HAD STARTED FORMING BALLS ON THE INSIDE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRE, WHICH I WAS NOT AWARE UNTIL I WENT TO GET MY STATE INSPECTION STICKER, THE TECHNICIAN AT PUEBLO TIRES TOLD ME I HAD SEVERAL BALLS ON THE SIDES OF MY TIRES HE ALSO TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE THE TREAD WAS TO WORN, HE EVEN SHOWED ME THE TREAD LEVELS WITH A TREAD METER AND I VERIFIED THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH TREAD ON THE TIRES. THE MILEAGE ON THE TRUCK AT THAT TIME WAS ONLY 15000 MILES SO I REPLACED THEM SO IT WOULD BASS INSPECTION AND FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS AS WELL.. <BR> WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IT CAME WITH A MANUAL STATING HOW MUCH AIR AND HOW MANY MILES A CERTAIN BRAND OF TIRE WAS SUPPOSED TO AVERAGE MINE SAID I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN 30000 MILES MINIMUM BEFORE REPLACEMENT, FORD IS OBVIOUSLY USING FALSE STATISTICS TO MARKET THESE DEFECTIVE TIRES. *TR
