2007 FORD F-150 Complaints

MY 2007 FORD 150 HAS 46,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS MOVING IT IN THE DRIVE WAY AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT ACCELERATED AND THE MORE I TRIED TO STEP ON THE BRAKE THE FASTER IT WENT. VERY SCARY! I THINK WHAT IS MORE SCARY IS THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS COMPLAINED. I AM TAKING IT TO THE SHOP THIS WEEK BUT THE MORE I READ THE MORE I AM CONVINCED THEY WILL NOT FIND ANYTHING. *TR

MULTIPLE INCIDENTS: WHEN VEHICLE SPEED DROPS TO 10MPH OR LESS WHEN BRAKING, BRAKE PEDAL FADES TO FLOOR AND ENGINE ACCELERATES WITH SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF BRAKING POWER. THE LAST INCIDENT NEARLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT, THE FIRST 3 INCIDENTS RESULTED IN "ROLLING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION". VEHICLE MILEAGE WHEN FIRST NOTED APPROXIMATELY 14K, NOW NEARLY 16K. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 FORD F-150,I HAVE REPLACED TWO VALVE STEMS IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. I FELT THAT THIS WAS VERY STRANGE. IF I DIDN`T HAVE A WARNING LIGHT I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY WRECK BECAUSE THE TIRE PRESSURE DROP QUICKLY. *TR

PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD. I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET AS HARD AS I COULD, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE FRONT TIRES LOCKED, LEAVING SKID MARKS ON THE CONCRETE. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT WALL OF THE GARAGE, BREAKING THE WALL, BEFORE STOPPING. MY WIFE WAS STANDING IN THE GARAGE AT THE TIME AND WITNESSED THE EVENT. *TR

I HAVE A FORD F-150 4X4 SUPER CREW THAT IS MAKING A ROARING/GRINDING SOUND FROM THE FRONT END. IT ONLY DOES THIS OCCASIONALLY. PRIOR TO STOPPING THE SOUND WILL STOP AND THE TRANSFER CASE WILL MAKE AN ENGAGING SOUND AS THOUGH THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IS ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT MAKE THE PROBLEM REOCCUR. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH AN '04 F-150 4X4 AND HIS IS DOING THE SAME THING. *TR

WE'VE HAD TWO VALVE STEM FAILURES ON A 2007 FORD F-150 TRUCK. THE VALVE STEMS HAD MULTIPLE CRACKS AND CAUSED THE TIRE TO DEFLATE. THE FAILURES OCCURRED HAVE OCCURRED ON BOTH FRONT TIRES. *TR

MY COMPANY PURCHASED THREE FORD F-150 4X4 SUPER CREW TRUCKS AT THE SAME TIME AND ONE OF THEM HAD THE LEFT FRONT HUB BEARINGS FAIL AND THE LEFT WHEEL ASSEMBLY CAME LOOSE AND WAS CAUGHT JUST BEFORE A TOTAL FAILURE. THE SECOND TRUCK (THE ONE I DRIVE) NOW HAS A CLICKING NOISE IN THE LEFT FRONT HUB AND CARTHAGE FORD IN MISSOURI HAS ACKNOWLEDGED IT BUT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT AFTER THREE TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT FORD WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT OR COMMUNICATE IT TO THE DEALERSHIPS IN FEAR OF FINANCIAL RAMIFICATIONS OF A RECALL. BOTH OF THESE TRUCKS ARE DRIVEN ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS AND HAVE AROUND 100 MILES PER DAY PLACED ON THEM SO I THINK WE ARE AHEAD OF MASSIVE FAILURES WHEN THESE 2007 MODELS GET OVER 50,000 MILES ON THEM. *TR

MY 2007 FORD F150 HAS A SEVERE SAFETY FLAW. FOUR TIMES SO FAR, BETWEEN MARCH 2008 AND JULY 2008, THE VEHICLE HAS ACCELLERATED ON ITS OWN WHEN BRAKING TO STOP. THE TRUCK WILL SLOW TO ABOUT 10 MPH THEN SUDDENLY ON ITS OWN THE ENGINE REVS TO 2000 RPMS AND THE TRUCK SURGES FORWARD. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO THROW IT INTO NEUTRAL. THIS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS . TWO SEPARATE FORD DEALERS WORKED ON THIS PROBLEM BUT BOTH FOUND NOTHING WRONG EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. I E-MAILED FORD ON 7/23/2008 BUT THEY HAVE NOT YET REPLIED. *TR

AT 33K MILE MY 2007 F 150 WITH THE 5.4 LITER ENGINE HAD ENGINE FAILURE. THE ENGINE FAILED AS A RESULT OF A KNOW PROBLEM THAT FORD HAS WITH A BACK OF THE 5.4 LITER ENGINE HAVING TO MUCH END PLAY ON THE CAM SHAFT. AS A RESULT THE ENGINE WAS STARVED FOR OIL AND FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRIP. THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO 0 WHEN THE ENGINE WAS FULL OF OIL. FORD'S SUGGESTION IS TO ONLY REPLACE HEADS WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THE ENGINE WAS STARVED FOR OIL. THEY WILL NOT OFFICIALLY ADMIT TO THE PROBLEM BUT SEVERAL FORD EMPLOYEES HAVE TOLD ME FORD IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION. THE ENGINE INITIALLY LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT RE START. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. *TR

I OWN A FORD -150 SUPER CREW AND I BOUGHT IT IN MAY OF 2007. TWO MONTHS AGO I HAD A VALVE STEM BLOW OUT. I GOT IT FIXED. THIS PAST TUESDAY. I HAD ANOTHER VALVE STEM BLOW OUT. I TOOK IT TO A TIRE REPAIR SHOP AND THE OTHER TWO VALVE STEMS WE'RE DRY-ROTTED. I HAD THEM REPLACE ALL THREE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH FORD PUTTING ON OLD VALVE STEMS. THERE IS NO WAY FOUR VALVE STEMS SHOULD HAVE DRY ROTTED IN 13 MONTHS. *TR
