2007 FORD F-150 Complaints

PICKUP WOULD NOT STOP AT STOP SIGN WITH THE BRAKE ON. THE REAR WHEELS WERE SPINNING WITH THE BRAKES ON FIRMLY. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TWICE AND BOTH TIMES I THREW THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL TO STOP THE MALFUNCTION.. *TR

I HAD A BLOWOUT ON THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE GOING 65 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE OF A HIGHWAY. MY 2007 FORD 150- SUPERCREW DROPPED DOWN AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED RIGHT. I COULD NOT STEER AWAY FROM AN 18 WHEELER THAT WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE. I BOUNCED OFF THE 18 WHEELER AND IT KNOCKED MY WHEEL STRAIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. I HAD $5000 IN PROPERTY DAMAGE . THE 18 WHEELER DID GO OFF THE ROAD AND HAD $70000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE NEXT MORNING AFTER PICKING MY TRUCK UP FROM THE BODYSHOP I HAD ANOTHER BLOWOUT ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. THIS TIME I WAS GOING 35 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO CONTROL MY TRUCK. THE BACK TIRES WERE FINE. THESE 2 BLOWOUTS OCCURRED WITHIN 1. 5 HOURS OF DRIVING ALL IN THE FRONT. TIRES ARE NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE THE EXCESS WEIGHT OF A F150 SUPERCREW. I HAD BF GOODRICH LONG TRAIL ON MY LAST SUPERCREW AND HAD EXCELLENT RESULTS. I SPENT $690 TO REPLACE ALL GENERAL AMERITRAC TIRES. *TR

2007 FORD F-150 FUEL VAPOR LEAK FROM FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY DUE TO INFERIOR PLASTIC. *TR

PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG TURNS OFF. OCCASIONAL PROBLEM, HAS BECOME CONSTANT PROBLEM. WIFE WEIGHS 100 LB+. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER CAR,DO NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH OUR 09, SMART CAR. ONE DEALER SAID SHE DOESN'T WEIGH ENOUGH,ANOTHER SAID,BAG WILL STILL DEPLOY BUT NOT AS HARD. THINK IT IS A SENSOR IN THE SEAT ,WHEN THE LIGHT SAYS BAG OFF, MEANS NO PROTECTION, AND IT WILL NOT DEPLOY. HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY,SOME TIMES RE CONNECTING THE SEAT BELT CORRECTS IT BUT ONLY FOR A WHILE. JUST COMPLETED 3,000 MILE TRIP ACROSS COUNTRY, BAG OFF LIGHT WAS ON MOST OF THE TIME. DIDN'T SEEM TO MATTER HOW THE WIFE POSITIONED HER SELF,THIS IS NOT A WEIGHT/SIZE ISSUE,BUT A FAILURE OF A SAFETY DEVICE. IS IT AN '07' ISSUE?*TR
