2007 FORD F-150 Complaints

DROVE VEHICLE TO WORK AND PARKED IT, WHEN LEAVING WORK, OPENED DOOR OF VEHICLE AND THERE WAS SMOKE AND FLAMES COMING FROM THE VENT IN DASHBOARD. VEHICLE HAD BEEN IDLE 7 HOURS. *TR

I PURCHASED A F 150 ONE YEAR AGO. I WENT INTO A STORE ONLY TO COME OUT TO A FLAT TIRE (MINUTES LATER). I TOOK IT TO MINCZ TIRE, AND THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY VALVE STEM. THE SAME THING HAPPENED DAYS LATER. ALL OF THE VALVE STEMS ARE CRACKING AND MUST NOW BE REPLACED. LATER THAT WEEK, I SAW A TELEVISION REPORT ON FAULTY VALVE STEMS, SO I DECIDED TO REPORT. *TR

VALVE STEM ON FORD F150 FAILED RESULTING ON A FLAT TIRE ON THE HIGHWAY. OTHER THREE VALVE STEMS ARE CURRENTLY CRACKING. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT IN WHICH MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED AT WHICH TIME, AND ALTHOUGH I HAD SLAMMED ON MY BRAKE, MY TRUCKS ACCELERATOR STUCK CAUSING MY TRUCK TO PROCEED AT AN ACCELERATED SPEED PUSHING THE CAR I HAD JUST HIT AND VEERING OFF THE ROAD AND HITTING SOME TREES AND BRUSH. I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKE ONCE AGAIN STOPPING THE TRUCK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD F-150. THE VEHICLE HAS HANKOOK DYNAPRO AS TIRES, SIZE P235/70R17S. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WAS REPLACED BECAUSE IT KEPT LEAKING AIR. THREE HOURS AFTER THE TIRE WAS REPLACED, THE CONTACT HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO BE REPAIRED. THE THREE REMAINING TIRES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE SAME LEAKAGE ISSUE. THE SENSOR LIGHT FOR THE TIRES CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATES. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR. THE CONTACT INTENDS TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON MARCH 30, 2008 FOR THE FIFTH TIME CONCERNING THIS FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. UPDATED 06/17/08. *LJ IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VALVE STEM WAS BAD.

AFTER READING SIMILAR ISSUES ON MYCARSTATS.COM, I FIGURED I SHOULD ENTER MINE TOO. ENGINE WOULD SUDDENLY RACE AT VERY HIGH RPM. MY VEHICLE IS A STANDARD SO I WAS ABLE TO NEGATE ACCELERATION BY DEPRESSING CLUTCH. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN 1 MONTH PERIOD. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY INDICATED THEY WERE GOING TO UPDATE CHIP WITH LATEST UPGRADE. WHEN I PICKED UP VEHICLE, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE HAD THE LATEST UPGRADE AND NO ACTION WAS TAKEN. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A REPEAT OF THIS SINCE THOUGH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD F-150. WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED DRAMATICALLY AND A LOUD REVVING NOISE WAS HEARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT MUST APPLY EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO COMPLETELY STOP THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE WHEELS BEGIN TO SPIN. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,146.
