2007 FORD F-150 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH TO THE POINT THAT IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED AND IS UNSAFE. IT CANNOT PASS A STATE SAFETY INSPECTION AND HAS DETERIORATED TO THE POINT WHERE IT CANNOT EVEN BE PUT ON A LIFT BECAUSE IT HAS NO STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. THERE ARE LARGE HOLES RUSTED THROUGH AND WHERE IT HASN'T ENTIRELY RUSTED THROUGH, THE METAL HAS DETERIORATED TO BEING LESS THAN HALF OF ITS ORIGINAL THICKNESS. THE PROBLEM WENT UNNOTICED BECAUSE THE REST OF THE TRUCK SHOWED NO SIGNS OF ANY ADVANCED DETERIORATION.

PICKED UP MY SON FROM SCHOOL AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND IT GOT REALLY LOUD . MY SPARK PLUG JUST BLEW OUT FOR NO REASON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS AND THE COIL SPRINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA TO CHECK FOR ANY OPEN RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

DURING SHIFTING ON STREETS AND HWY'S MY RPMS RAMP UP TO 3000-5000. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WHILE MAINTAINING SPEED AND THEN THE RPMS WILL RAMP UP THEN THE SPEED STEADILY DROPS WHILE MY FOOT IS STILL ON THE ACCELERATOR. TURNING THE OVERDRIVE OFF SEEMS TO HELP OCCASIONALLY. I HAVE ALSO ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE AT LIGHTS AND THE RPMS WILL RAMP UP AND LURCH FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING ME TO REAR END OTHER VEHICLES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY FORD HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL AND ADDRESSED THIS SAFETY HAZARD. MY O/D LIGHT OCCASIONALLY FLASHES AND WHEN IN "PARK" THEN PUTTING THE GEAR IN "REVERSE" IT WOULDN'T OPERATE AND WHERE MY DIGITAL MILEAGE IS SAID "TRANS FAULT". I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, THEN BACK ON AND THE O/D WAS OFF AND WAS ABLE TO BACK UP. NONE OF MY WARNING LIGHTS HAVE COME ON AT ALL. OCCASIONALLY AT A STOP SIGN WHEN I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE THERE'S A DELAY IN MOVEMENT. SPEED VARIES AT TIMES OF INCIDENTS.

THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE, WHICH IS LOCATED EXTERNAL TO TANK MOUNTED ON FRAME, FAILED BECAUSE IT CORRODED THRU TO THE INSIDE OF UNIT. AT THE TIME OF FAILURE CAR WAS PARKED, BUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF ON HIGHWAY AND FUEL PUMP STOPPED WORKING? FORD WOULD NOT REPLACE THE PART EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS REDESIGNED WITH STAND-OFFS TO PREVENT DISSIMILAR METAL REACTION.

TRUCK WOULDN'T START. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION FOUND THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE FAILED DUE TO CORROSION. THE PART WAS BOLTED TO THE CROSS MEMBER ON THE BACK OF THE FRAME. THE BOTTOM OF THE PART IS ALUMINUM AND THE CROSS MEMBER IS STEEL, AND THEY WERE BOLTED FLUSH TOGETHER. REPLACED THE PART AND TRUCK WORKS FINE. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THIS AND REIMBURSE ALL PARTIES WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM.01

A SPARK PLUG BACKED OUT. STRIPPED THE THREADS IN THE HEAD. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK. *TR

PUT TRUCK IN REVERSE, IT SPED UP AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK. STOPPED BY BACKING INTO A TREE, THEN DROVE FINE. THREE DAYS LATER CAME TO AN INTERSECTION AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP. HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE INTERSECTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD F-150. AFTER THE CONTACT GRABBED THE SAFETY HANDLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, IT DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE HANDLE DETACHED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.
