The phasers and the timing chain and tensioners is failing. This is premature failure due to engineering mistakes in the design. This is a safety critical walk home failure. Failure will destroy the engine (interference engine). Complete loss of all power and lock up of engine. Mechanic said the only remedy is a rebuilt engine. A reputable engine rebuilder states in their ad on the internet that they have corrected the Ford Motor Company engineering design mistakes in the 5.4l Triton engine.

275/65/R18 116T First purchased 4 Cooper Adventurer H/T tires mileage was currently 199201 on May/2020. Only driven for work commute of 25miles. Cooper Adv H/T brand first replacement on front tires only due to one of the tires having bulging on the side wall of the tire, was informed possible defect and then it was changed to being worn out by possible construction/bad roads. 24450 mileage at the time of replacement on Aug/2022. There was a replacement of the second front tire In between the time period and was told by a different manager it was not a defect whom seemed hostile when I mentioned the first manager mentioned the last tire had a possible bulge defect. Paid normally price no discount. Currently now have the same bulging on front driver side wall from those replacements along with a watermark lining on the wall of the tire and mileage now is just around 255120.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Speedometer sticks at 60 mph on idle or when it’s turned off. Does not Reflect actual speed of car. There are multiple cars with F150 with the similar complaint

LEFT WORK DROVE 1/4 OF A MILE AND CAR JERKED WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR DIDN'T SEEM TO ACCELERATE AT FIRST BUT DID SLIGHTLY ACCELERATE SO I COULD GET OFF THE ROAD. TURNED CAR OFF WAITED A FEW MINUTES TURNED ON AND LIGHT WENT OFF. DROVE HOME 10 MILES AND STILL DOING IT WITHOUT EQUAL PATTERN

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.
Apr 16, 2017
WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO STOP THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE TRUCK ACCELERATED. WE WERE OUT OF TOWN AND WITHIN A SHORT WHILE THE SAME THING HAPPENED 4 TIMES. NOW 2 MORE TIMES. THE DEALER SAID IT MIGHT BE THE THROTTLE CONTROL BOX BUT HE COULD DO A 75 DOLLAR DIAGNOSTIC TOO. I DECLINED. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT NOT AS BAD, I THOUGHT MY FOOT HIT THE GAS PEDAL WHICH IS DEFINITELY NOT THE CASE. *TR
May 27, 2013
I DECELERATED AND TURNED A CORNER ONTO A TWO WAY STREET. I THOUGHT I HAD HIT ICE AS MY 2007 F150 TRUCK ACCELERATED AND SWERVED INTO THE OTHER LANE. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND MY TIRES WERE SCREECHING AS I LANDED ON A SNOWBANK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO APPLY HEAVY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE TO STOP! IT WAS NOT HUMAN ERROR NOR ICE! VERY RECENTLY THE SPEED CONTROL HAD STOPPED WORKING ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
32 complaints
WAS EXPERIENCING A SHUTTER SIMILAR TO THE FEELING OF A MISFIRE WHEN ACCELERATING UP A GRADE FROM LEVEL ROAD CONDITIONS. THIS SHUTTER WAS BETWEEN 1250 AND 1500 RPM. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FORD DEALERSHIP WHO ELIMINATED COIL PACK AND TORQUE CONVERTER AS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I HAD TAKEN ANOTHER VEHICLE I OWN TO A REPAIR SHOP I HAVE USED FOE SEVERAL YEARS FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE I MENTIONED THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH MY 2007 FORD F150 AND THEY ADVISED THAT MY PROBLEM WAS PROBABLY MISFIRE ON ONE OR MORE PLUGS. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THEY HAD DEALT WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. THEY PROCEEDED TO INFORM ME THAT THERE WAS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH REPLACING THE PLUGS-THEY COULD BREAK WHEN REMOVING. IF THAT HAPPENS AND IT DID (4 PLUGS BROKE) THEN ADDITIONAL LABOR COSTS WOULD BE ADDED TO MY BILL. END RESULT A BILL FOR $600.00 TO REPLACE 8 SPARK PLUGS. ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. AS A PART OF THIS EXPERIENCE I HAVE LEARNED THAT FORD MFG THIS ENGINE FROM 2005-2007 AND WHEN THIS ISSUE BEGAN TO SURFACE THAT THEY CHANGED THE ENGINE DESIGN TO ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. FORD WAS OBVIOUSLY AWARE THAT A FUTURE PROBLEM WAS GOING TO BE FACED BY THE CONSUMER. WHY SHOULD WE THE CONSUMER HAVE TO BEAR THE FULL EXPENSE TO PAY FOR THEIR FLAWED DESIGN IN THIS ENGINE. THEY SHOULD BE WILLING TO ADMIT THEIR MISTAKE BUT APPARENTLY IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOME LEGAL PRESSURE TO GET THIS DONE. IF THEY DO NOT STEP UP I WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER FORD.

Jan 05, 2012
ENGINE MAKES A KNOCKING NOISE. I WAS TOLD BY A FORD DEALER THAT THEY CAN'T REPAIR IT BECAUSE FORD DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE. I WAS TOLD BY FORD DEALER TO DRIVE IT TILL IT QUITS. THE ENGINE COULD LOCK UP AT ANY TIME, POSSIBLY ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *TR

STEERING
23 complaints
After making a sharp right turn tie rod came loose from steering rod. After inspection the threads on the steering rod seem to be too small for the tie rod. The truck has been taken care of and only has 75000 miles on it. The new tie rod I installed was also loose on the steering rod. The threads were not stripped, rusty or damaged in anyway. This truck has never had any work or been damaged. I have never had front end lined up because tires have not had any wear indicating misalignment.
Sep 12, 2025
STEERING BINDS SO TIGHTLY WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THAT IT TAKES SIGNIFICANT FORCE TO TURN WHEEL. ONCE WHEEL GETS PAST AND FREE OF THE BINDING POSITION IT TRAVELS TOO FAR CREATING A NEED FOR A STEERING CORRECTION. I BELIEVE THAT THE TWO PIECE STEERING SHAFT AND THE TWO UNIVERSAL JOINTS ARE WORN AND CAUSING THE PROBLEM. IT FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE LOST POWER STEERING, HOWEVER NOT THE CASE. AS THE POWER STEERING FLUID IS AT THE PROPER LEVEL. THERE ARE NO FLUID LEAKS, FORD HAS RECALLED EXPEDITIONS AND LINCOLNS FOR THIS ISSUE, WHY NOT THE F-150 PICKUP TRUCKS?
Jun 19, 2017
WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT (ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES) THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AFTER ROTATING ONLY A FEW DEGREES. THIS WAS SUDDEN AND ABRUPT WITH NO PRIOR SYMPTOMS. SUBSTANTIAL FORCE WAS APPLIED IN AN ATTEMPT TO CONTINUE THE TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME FREE AND ROTATED A FEW MORE DEGREES BEFORE SEIZING AGAIN. AS BEFORE, SUBSTANTIAL PRESSURE WAS APPLIED AND I BELIEVE SOME BACK ROTATION (WIGGLING) WAS INPUT. THE STEERING FINALLY BECAME FREE AND FELT NORMAL. THIS DID NOT REPEAT AGAIN DURING THE USE OF THE VEHICLE THAT DAY. THE SEIZURE DID NOT FEEL LIKE A FAILURE OF THE STEERING ASSIST (PUMP) SYSTEM AS THE STEERING WHEEL COULD NOT BE ROTATED AS IT CAN BE IF THE STEERING PUMP ISN'T RUNNING. SOME RESEARCH FOUND REFERENCE TO BINDING OF THE U-JOINTS ON THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT LOCATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. EXAMINATION OF THESE JOINTS FOUND THAT THEY ARE NOT PROTECTED BY RUBBER BOOTS AND SHOWED EVIDENCE OF CORROSION. A SPRAY LUBRICANT WAS USED IN AN ATTEMPT TO PREVENT THE ISSUE FROM RECURRING. THE INABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE IS, IN MY OPINION, A SUBSTANTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. ANY NUMBER OF SCENARIOS COULD BE IMAGINED, BUT IN MY PARTICULAR CASE, HAD THE SEIZURE NOT RELEASED, I WOULD HAVE FOUND MYSELF STOPPED IN THE PATH OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH THE VEHICLE ONLY PARTIALLY TURNED.
Jan 07, 2016
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.
Jan 04, 2016
I HAD THE PUMP, RACK AND PINION REPLACED AND THE SENSOR. AFTER ALL THIS WAS REPLACED SOME TIME LATER THE STEERING GOT TIGHT . I TOOK IT BACK THE MECHANIC THOUGHT I HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM. HE SPRAYED A LUBRICANT ON BOTH UNIVERSALS ON THE STEERING SHAFT. WHEN IT GETS TIGHT AGAIN I WILL GO AND SATURATE THESE TWO UNIVERSALS WITH A SPRAY LUBRICANT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
22 complaints
The fuel module failed and the 5,4l Triton engine stopped running. There was no power steering or power brakes in the middle of the fast lane on the interstate. This was a safety critical walk home. The component was disposed of. The vehicle stopped in the fast lane. Possibility to be hit from behind, Ford denied my claim. There were no warnings of the failure. Galvanic corrosion.
Mar 14, 2023
Vehicle reports “check charging system” which has an associated TSB but no recall. My understanding is that the AC drips water on the alternator harness causing degradation and shorting of the wires. A new wiring harness as well as a drain relocation kit are required. I do not believe the customer should be responsible for this repair.
May 18, 2022
Spark plug blow out. Yes it is available for inspection. Ongoing very common issues with triton engines blowing out spark plugs making a fire hazard because fuel vapor coming out of plug hole could be ignited by coil pack. All ford dealerships are very aware of this issue and have repaired many by rethreading and installing a helicoil thread repair kit at a very high price of 800 dollars and most repairs are temporary because the aluminum is weak and very thin at the spark plug hole. Ford is very aware of this ongoing issue and denies any liability experts don’t agree with fords arguments. No warning the plugs start to blow out at around 140000 miles well after the warranty. This problem started in the 90s all triton engines are affected. As in the photo the dealers attempt to repair was unsuccessful the spark plug is tightened to deep into the head and is broken off. They said at the end of the day I need a new head. 5000 dollars.

The contact owns a 2007 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the fuel gauge was displaying the incorrect fuel level. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.
Jun 25, 2021
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

MY TRUCK STARTING HAVING BRAKES PROBLEMS (VIBRATION WHEN STOPPING) AT AROUND 25,000 MILES. TOOK IT IN TO DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION WITH 29,000 MILES ON IT. ENDED UP MACHINING ALL ROTORS (NOT UNDER WARRANTY). I'M NOW EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AT 42,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THE ROTORS AND CALIPERS ARE SEVERELY UNDERSIZED CONSIDERING THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK. I SUGGEST THAT FORD MAKE GOOD ON THE NEXT BRAKE JOB. HAD A 88 CHEVY P/U AND WENT 75,000 MILES BEFORE REPLACING THE FRONT PADS. FORD HAS ERRED ON IT'S ENGINEERING. *TR

I’m wondering why there is no recall on the frames my truck has 96k and the frame is almost gone 2007 f-150
Jan 11, 2024
Yesterday I discovered that the frame of my truck is completely rusted through in at least 2 places on the passenger side. I cannot confirm these are the only areas. The passenger side appears much worse than the driver side.
Jul 29, 2021
I HAVE A 2007 F150 WITH 96,460 MILES. DRIVES ON PA ROADS NEVER OFF ROAD AND NO HAULING. DRIVER SIDE FRAME RAIL IS RUSTED AT A POINT IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE FORWARD MOUNTING BRACKET OF THE REAR LEAF SPRING. THE AMOUNT OF RUST IS EXTENSIVE. THE INNER WALL OF THE RAIL IS RUSTED THROUGH CREATING A HOLE APPROX. 10 INCHES LONG AND RANGING FROM THE HEIGHT OF THE RAIL TAPERING REARWARD TO ABOUT 3/4 OF AN INCH. THE BOTTOM OF THE FRAME RAIL IS ALSO RUSTED THROUGH AT A POINT WHERE IT MEETS THE SPRING'S MOUNTING BRACKET. ALTHOUGH THE METAL APPEARS SOMEWHAT INTACT THERE IS NO STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. THIS LEAVES ONLY THE UPPER PORTION AND OUTSIDE WALL OF THE FRAME RAIL INTACT BUT ALSO RUSTED. BASED ON MY OBSERVATION THIS TRUCK CANNOT BE DRIVEN SAFELY. I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY SOLUTION OTHER THAN TO REPLACE THE FRAME BUT THIS WILL BE DETERMINED BY A PROFESSIONAL IN THE NEAR FUTURE. AS TO THE CAUSE I DO NOT KNOW. THIS DAMAGE WAS FIRST NOTED TODAY 8/14/2019 AND WAS NOT DETECTED DURING AN INSPECTION IN 12/2018

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?

UPON SPEEDING UP FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE STUTTERED AND STALLED. I COASTED TO A PARKING LOT AND TRIED TO RESTART. THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT NO ATTEMPT TO START. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES I STOPPED. UPON CHECKING INTERNET FOR PROBLEMS DISCOVERED MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE RUSTING AND FAILING SUDDENLY. I CHECKED MODULE AND IT WAS RUSTED THROUGH. I REPLACED MODULE AND TRUCK NOW RUNS FINE. I NOTICED THAT THE MOUNTING BOLTS HAVE CHANGED ALLOWING SPACE BETWEEN MODULE AND CROSS MEMBER. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS AN ISSUE AS THE PART MOUNT HAS CHANGED. IF THIS SUDDEN FAILURE WOULD HAVE OCCURRED AT HIGH SPEED SERIOUS PROBLEMS MAY HAVE RESULTED. THIS IS A FORD ISSUE IN DESIGN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED BY FORD.

THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE DESIGN IS TERRIBLE ON THESE TRUCKS. LUCK FOR MY FAMILY WE WERE IN TOWN GOING SLOW WHEN THIS UNIT SHORTED OUT.

THIS IS AN UPDATE TO MY POST OF 8/14/19, CONCERNING FRAME RUST ON MY 2007 F150. THE TRUCK HAS NOW BEEN INSPECTED BY A COMPETENT BODY SHOP WITH THE BOX TAKEN OFF. THERE IS MORE RUST ON THE FRAME THAN ON THE TITANIC, NO HOPE OF FIXING IT. SO FAR FORD DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED IF THIS ISN'T ADDRESSED. THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE TRUCKS OUT THERE WITH A SERIOUSLY UNEXPECTED LEVEL OF RUST. LOOKING FOR OPTIONS!!

FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE FAILURE RESULTING IN ENGINE STALLING CAUSING LOSS OF POWER AND CONTROL TO STEERING AND BRAKING FUNCTIONS AT HIGH SPEED AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE ON THE TRUCK FAILED AT INTERMITTENT AND ERRATIC INTERVALS, CAUSING IMMEDIATE SHUT OFF OF FUEL TO THE ENGINE. CONTROL FUNCTIONS, PARTICULARLY POWER STEERING WERE COMPROMISED AND ACCIDENTS WERE BARELY AVOIDED. THE ENGINE WOULD EVENTUALLY RESTART- UP TO THE POINT THAT THE MODULE FAILED COMPLETELY. THE FIRST FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED AROUND 14000 MILES IN 2010. THE SECOND WAS JUST REPLACED AT 24446 MILES. THE COST TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE IS APPROXIMATELY $500.

ANOTHER INCIDENT OF A "DEATH WOBBLE" IN THE FRONT END. GOING DOWN THE HWY THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT WOBBLE. FRONT END OF TRUCK SHAKES DANGEROUSLY. SLOWING TO 20 MPH RESOLVES WOBBLE BUT HITTING A BUMP IN THE RD INITIATES THIS WOBBLE AGAIN. THIS WOBBLE HAS ACTUALLY CAUSED MY TRUCK TO PULL INTO ANOTHER LANE. I HAVE HAD THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED AS WELL AS NEW TIRES AND BALANCING. BALL JOINTS AND OTHER PARTS REPLACED. THIS IS A FACTORY ISSUE AND FORD HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS WITH OWNERS. DEATHS ARE A CERTAIN OUTCOME IF NOT FINALLY ADDRESSED. LATEST EPISODE WAS LAST NIGHT BUT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS.

THREE TIMES SINCE JANUARY 1, 2013 MY FORD F-150 HAS ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. EACH TIME I WAS TRAVELING LESS THAN 10 MPH. EACH TIME I HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN IT OFF. THE RPM'S WENT OVER 3000 AND MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS. EACH TIME I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NOTHING HUNG UP IN THE GAS PEDDLE LIKE CARPET OR TRASH. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO FORD COUNTRY IN LAS VEGAS AND THE SERVICE WRITER SAID I WAS DREAMING THAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT COULD NOT HAPPEN. I ASSURE YOU THAT MY TRUCK ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN THREE TIMES AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 10 MPH. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THIS IS A REPORTED PROBLEM WITH A FIX. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY TRUCK IN TOWN AND ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC WHERE IT MIGHT ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AND HURT SOMEONE. ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED I CAN PROVIDE. I AM WILLING TO LET YOU PUT ANY TYPE OF MONITORING DEVICE ON MY TRUCK SO IF OR WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN YOU CAN SEE THE RESULTS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

2007 FORD F-150. SEVERE WHEEL SHAKE WAS REPORTED. UPON INSPECTION FOUND OUTER WHEEL RIM WAS SEPARATING FROM WHEEL. DISCOVERED LARGE CRACK IN THE WELD. THIS IS THE THIRD WHEEL FROM DEFERENT TRUCKS OF SAME YEAR VINTAGE WITH THIS PROBLEM. CONTACTED FORD AND THEY ARE AWARE OF PROBLEM, BUT DECLINED TO DUE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WE HAVE HAD A EQUAL AMOUNT OF BOTH 2006 AND 2007 F-150'S THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON. ALL OF THESE TRUCK PERFORM DIFFERENT DUTIES, SO THE TYPE OF USE IS NOT PART OF THE PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES FROM THIS PROBLEM, BUT CERTAINLY THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURIES IF THE WHEELS WERE TO COME COMPLETELY APART AND THE TIRE LEAVE THE RIM. I'M CURIOUS AS TO HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM OR HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF HAVING THE PROBLEM. *TR

AIR VENT ADJUSTMENT FAILURE, REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF PLENUM CHAMBER. CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WAS THE FAILURE OF THE ADHESIVE ON TWO FOAM PIECES ATTACHED TO TWO AIR BLEND DOORS WHICH JAMMED BECAUSE THE FOAM FELL OFF AND PREVENTED THE DOORS FROM MOVING. IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REMOVED AT A COST OF JUST UNDER $1000. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD FOR HELP IN COVERING THIS EXPENSE AND THEY HAVE DENIED IT SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL NOTICE OUTSTANDING. ON LINE SITES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE EXTENSIVE REPAIR COST ARE IN THE HUNDREDS. *TR

WHILE UNDER WARRANTY THE ROTORS BECAME WARPED. I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER AND THEY GROUND THE ROTORS WHICH MADE THEM THINNER AND MORE VULNERABLE TO WARPING WHICH OCCURRED IMMEDIATELY. FORD REFUSED TO REPLACE THE ROTORS. THE PADS WERE FINE INDICATING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT AN OPERATOR PROBLEM. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY CONCLUDED THAT THE ROTORS WERE NOT SUFFICIENT FOR THE VEHICLE. THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS WITH A MORE SUBSTANTIAL ROTOR AT A COST OF $1400 AND I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEM SINCE.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE, THE PEDAL TRAVELS BELOW THE ACCELERATOR CAUSING THE FOOT TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR AT THE SAME TIME. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, I HAVE RUN THROUGH STOP LIGHTS/SIGNS TRYING TO COME TO A STOP, AND ON OCCASION HAVE ALMOST HIT OTHER VEHICLES. ANOTHER TIME, I WAS BEHIND THE TRUCK GUIDING SOMEONE IN THE TRUCK WHILE BACKING UP. NOT BEING FAMILIAR WITH THE TRUCK, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELLED PASE THE ACCELERATOR, HIS FOOT CAUSED BOTH TO BE DEPRESSED AT THE SAME TIME ALMOST RUNNING OVER ME BEFORE JUMPING OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND RELATED TO THE PROBLEM I BELIEVE IS THE FRONT ROTORS KEEP WARPING. THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED AT THIS INCIDENT TIME BECAUSE THE FORD DEALERSHIP THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE THE ISSUE. IT DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE AND THEY ONLY CHARGED MY HALF-PRICE. *TR
Feb 07, 2013
THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARPED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 49K MILES. THIRTY-THREE THOUSAND MILES LATER THEY ARE WARPED AGAIN. THE FIRST TIME THEY HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. THEY WERE WARPED TOO BAD TO MACHINE THEM. THIS TIME, THE RIGHT FRONT ROTOR HAD TO BE TURNED FOUR TIMES BY THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE WARPING OUT. THE OTHERS ONLY ONE TURN. THERE SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM FOR MULTIPLE YEARS OF FORD F-150 TRUCKS. THE SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY REDESIGNED FOR MODEL YEAR 2009 AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GONE. UNFORTUNATELY, I BELIEVE THE DESIGN IS ALSO CONNECTED WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL PROBLEM REPORTED ALSO TO THE NHTSA FOR THIS YEAR (2007) MODEL F-150. UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE IT IS CLASSIFIED AS A BRAKING PROBLEM, THE WARRANTIES (FACTORY AND EXTENDED) DO NOT COVER THE EXPENSE OF MACHINING OR REPLACING THE ROTORS. THIS CAN BE SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS EXPENSE TO THE VEHICLE OWNER WHEN IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE HANDLED BY THE FACTORY THRU A RECALL. FORTUNATELY, MY DEALERSHIP HAS WORKED WITH ME SO FAR TO HELP HANDLE THE EXPENSE. FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION REASONS, THEY DID NOT CHARGE ME THIS LAST TIME AS THEY REALIZE ROTORS, UNDER NORMAL DRIVING, SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED OR MACHINED WITHIN 30K MILES, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS HARDLY ANY BRAKE PAD WEAR. *TR

THE ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE THE SAME SOUND IN FEB 2015 (84,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK, 30,000 MILES ON THE ENGINE). I HAD IT TAKEN TO AN AUTO MECH AND THEY TOLD ME ONE OF THE SPARK PLUGS EJECTED FROM THE ENGINE AND RIPPED ALL THE THREADING OUT. THEY ALSO FOUND THAT ON E OF THE CYLINDERS BROKE OFF THE CRANK SHAFT AND CEASED. THE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AND THE TRUCK IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.

AFTER TWO BREAKING I WENT TO THE DEALER AND COMPLAINED. I WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO REASON OR COMPLAINTS OF THIS OCCURRING.WHILE TRAVELING OUT OF STATE I HAD A THIRD STEM BREAK. EACH TIME I HAD NEW STEMS REPLACED. I BEGAN RESEARCHING FOR MYSELF AND FOUND AN ARTICLE WHICH STATED THAT FORD HAD COMPLAINTS OF DEFECTIVE VALVE STEMS ON ALMOST ALL THEIR VEHICLES INCLUDING MERCURY'S. AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS AND COMPLAINTS TO MY DEALER I WENT TO A LOCAL TIRE DISTRIBUTOR AND THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING ALL RUBBER VALVE STEMS WITH BRASS HIGH PRESSURE VALVE STEMS. AFTER DOING THIS I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM. THE COST FOR RUBBER STEMS ARE AROUND $1.50 EACH AND I PAID $6.00 EACH FOR THE GOOD STEMS. THIS IS A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY'S SAFETY. MY DEALER STILL HASN'T CONTACTED ME WITH A SUGGESTION AS TO CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. FIRST INCIDENT WAS AROUND APRIL 5, 2010 AND SECOND INCIDENT AUGUST 24, 2010 AND THIRD WAS OCTOBER 18,2010. *TR

THE TRUCK HAS BEEN RUNNING ROUGH AND STALLING OUT AT RANDOM. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, WHILE AT THE CAR WASH AND WHILE,SITTING AT THE STOP LIGHT, BUT EVERYTIME IT HAS BEEN WET OUTSIDE. TAKEN TRUCK TO FORD DEALERSHIP, AND HAD LOTS OF WORK DONE, NEW PLUGS, COILPACKS, INJECTOR SERVICE, AND THROTLEBODY CLEANING DONE WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. BROUGHT ISSUE TO A FRIEND AND TO ONE LOOK AT THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE UNDER THE REAR AXEL AND IT WAS SPLIT WIDE OPEN, BAD ENOUGH THE CIRCUIT BOARD WAS JUST HANGING OUT. WHEN ISSUE WAS BROUGHT TO LOCAL FORD DEALER, THE PARTS GUY JUST HAD A LAUGH AND SAID THEY DO AT LEAST THREE A WEEK. "I DIDN'T FIND IT THAT FUNNY" A CONTROL BOX WITH A ALUMINUM BACK PLATE ON A STEEL AXEL WITH NO BUFFER, IS JUST BAD DESIGN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

The ABS CONTROL MODULE has gone out therefore there isn’t any all wheel braking control for the vehicle. I know of my vehicle and several more that have this same problem. They range from 2007 up to 2012. With this problem also they will not pass State Emissions Inspection. I just inherited my vehicle. I was the owner of a repair shop and had several pickups with this very problem. This repair cost from Ford is over $1,000.00. This seems to be a recurring failure with the brake system.

EVERY VEHICLE THAT FORD PUT OUT WITH A CAM PHASER IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE CAN PHASER. ANY SAE CERTIFIED MECHANIC WILL VERIFY THIS. THIS IS A HORRIBLE DESIGN. WHY HASN'T FORD STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND FIXED THIS ISSUE? I BELIEVE THEY ARE TRYING TO BURY IT SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO INCUR THE COST OF FIXING THEIR MISTAKE. DUE TO THIS ISSUE I'VE BEEN STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK LOOSES POWER, WON'T GO INTO GEAR....ETC....THIS HAPPENS AFTER THE CAN PHASER HAS ACTIVATED AND THEN I COME TO A STOP. THEN IT'S MISFIRING STALLING NOT GOING INTO GEAR...YOU NAME IT IT'S AN ISSUE. A COMPUTE READ ON THE OBD2 STAYED THAT I HAD MISSES IN IGNITION COILS 1,3 AND 7 REPLACED THEM THEN THE TEACHING STAYED MISFIRED IS 2,4 AND 5 REPLACED THEM AND ALL THE SAME ISSUES... EVERY MECHANIC I'VE SPOKEN TO SAYS ABSOLUTEY THE PHASES AND THAT THEY HAVE TO PUT A CAM PHASER DELETE KIT IN THESE VEHICLES DO GET RID OF THESE PROBLEMS.

HE DIDN'T WANT TO INSTALL THE BRAKES. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK SINCE NEW AND IT HAS (MOSTLY) BEEN GARAGED THROUGHOUT. THE BODY PANELS, INTERIOR , TRANSMISSION, ENGINE, ETC. ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM REPORTED BY MANY OTHERS, SO I'M NOT SURE WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A FORD RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT'S OBVIOUSLY BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME, BUT I NEVER LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO SEE THE EXTENT OF THE RUST, GIVEN THAT THE BODY WAS IN GREAT SHAPE (NO RUST).

TAKATA RECALL INFLATORS HAVE BEEN REMOVED. INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYS TIRE INFLATION WARNING ALWAYS. THE MAIN SAFETY ISSUE I SEE WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS ARE TO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER AND ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE. THE ISSUE COMES ABOUT WHEN DEPRESSING BRAKE TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE. I AM AWARE OF THIS AND IT STILL HAPPENS SOMETIMES. SOMETIMES THE MOTOR REVS BUT VEHICLE WILL STAY STATIONARY. SOMETIMES THERE'S MORE PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR THAN BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE WILL LURCH FORWARD OR BACKWARD. THIS BEING AN XL MODEL, ITS NOT EQUIPPED WITH ADJUSTABLE PEDALS WHICH MAY SOLVE PROBLEM BUT AM UNCERTAIN OF THAT. IT SEEMS TO BE IDEAL VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR THESE TO ISSUES.

I NEVER BACKED DOWN, THEN REMINDED THEM THAT I HAD BOUGHT THE $2700.00 EXTENDED WARRENTY (WHICH I USUALLY NEVER DID) THEY BAUKED AND CRIED. BUY SAID THAT THEY WOULD FIND ANOTHER USED ENGINE, THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THAT THEY FOUND ONE FOR 3500 (OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT) I BEGAN A LONG SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND A REBUILD FOR LESS AND GAVE THEM THE INFORMATION. THEY DECIDED TO GO WITH THAT. THEY ORDERED THE ENGINE AND INSTALLED IT ( WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW THE REPLACEMENT HAD THE SAME PROB) THEY HAD TO PULL THAT ENGINE AND GET ANOTHER FROM THE COMPANY . TOOK AN EXTRA WEEK AND GOT THE TRUCK BACK ITS NOW AT 100K AND STILL RUNS WELL (SO I KNOW IT WASNT MY DRIVING) SO IT HAD TO BE THE INCORRECT PLACEMENT OF THAT SEAL FROM THE DEALER, WHICH WOULD LEAKED HOT OIL ONTO THE ENGINE AND CAUSE A FIRE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A NEW YORK INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH IN A SNOW STORM, MY TRUCK STARTED TO MISS. IT THEN SLOWED DOWN AND SHUT OFF. I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. A TRUCK STOPPED AND I HAD HIM PUSH MY TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, CAUSING ME TO HAVE DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK. FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE FAILED. IT IS LOCATED ABOVE THE SPARE TIRE AND DUE TO A DESIGN ERROR, WATER AND ROAD SALT GET TRAPPED BETWEEN MODULE AND MOUNTING BRACE. IT ERODES OUT FROM THE BOTTOM SIDE AND THE MOUNTING BRACKET. WHEN REPLACED, WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS A REDESIGNED COMPONENT, LIFTING IT AWAY FROM MOUNTING BRACKET. IF I HAD NOT HAD ENOUGH ROOM BETWEEN ME AND THE TRACTOR TRAILER TRAVELING BEHIND ME, OR IF I HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING NEXT TO ME, IT COULD BE A TOTAL DIFFERENT OUTCOME.

OVER THE PAST SIX WEEKS, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THREE EVENTS IN WHICH MY VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING WHILE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE.

THE SECOND AND THIRD TIME, I WAS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN FOR THE LIGHT WITH VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME. INSTEAD OF STOPPING AS I WAS DEPRESSING THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV AND PULL FORWARD. I DEPRESSED MY BRAKES TO FLOOR AND THE TRUCK STOPPED BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AND ATTEMPT TO PULL FORWARD WITH THE BRAKE ON. FORD COMPANY AND MY DEALERSHIP, OF COURSE, DENIED ANY PROBLEMS EVEN AFTER I CITED SEVERAL CASES IN WHICH THIS OCCURRED WITH OTHER CARS. THEY SAID SOMETIMES SENSORS GO OUT AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT BUT WERE HAPPY TO DO A DIAGNOSIS FOR $100. I SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEMS COMPARED TO THE NEW BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEMS AND AM TOTALLY UNNERVED THAT FORD WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS.

CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FORD DOES NOT NOTIFY OWNERS ABOUT POSSIBLE PREVENTIVE ACTION TO DEAL WITH THE CORROSION OR USE NON-CORROSION MATERIALS FOR PRESSURE LINES. *TR

OVER THE PAST SEVEN YEARS I HAVE A FEW INCIDENTS WERE WHEN I PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE,IT ACTUALLY ROLLED FORWARD BEFORE I SLAMMED ON BRAKES; STOPPED; PUT GEAR SHIFT IN PARK; MOVED TO REVERSE AND WENT ON. BUT I ALWAYS HAD TO COMPLETELY STOP AND PARK. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN - IN SEVEN YEARS, PERHAPS 8 OR 9 TIMES. THIS PAST FRIDAY WAS THE WORST, BUT I WAS FACING DOWN IN MY MOTHER'S DRIVE-WAY. BUT STILL...I CHECKED FOR A RECALL AND FOUND NONE. JUST FYI.. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE SO I PULLED OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. I THEN SAW SMOKE LIKE THE ENGINE HAD OVERHEATED BUT IN A MATTER OF SECONDS FLAMES IGNITED AND I QUICKLY GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CALLED 911. AS I WAS SPEAKING TO THE DISPATCHER THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION AND THE WHOLE FRONT OF MY TRUCK WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND PUT OUT THE FIRE MY HOOD WAS TOTALLY BURNED UP THE ENGINE IS BURNED UP AND MELTED AND THE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW BLEW OUT AND THE DASH AND FRONT INTERIOR IS BURNED AND MELTED. I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT IN TIME BECAUSE IT HAPPENED SO QUICKLY. I AM ALSO GLAD MY 10 MONTH OLD SON WAS NOT WITH ME ON THIS DAY. *TR

HAD A BAD MISS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND LIMPED HOME 15 MILES. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND IN THE PROCESS BROKE TWO IN THE HEAD. ONE DID NOT BREAK COMPLETELY OFF (#4) AND I NEEDED TO BORROW A PROTOTYPE TOOL FROM LISLE TOOL CORP. REMOVED AND REPLACED PLUGS FOLLOWING FORD PROCEDURES. TRUCK STILL HAD A MISS. REPLACED ALL EIGHT COIL PACKS WHICH FIXED THE PROBLEM. TOTAL COST$380.00. TRUCK DOWN FOR 6 DAYS AWAITING TOOLS AND PARTS. DEVELOPED A VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ORIGINAL TIRES(PIRELLI) WERE SEPARATING. REPLACED TIRES(976.00), MUCH BETTER. STILL HAVE SLIGHT VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEEDS. FOUND LEFT FRONT HUB BEARING SEEPING GREASE AND FEELS STIFF. AWAITING PARTS TO DO REPAIRS. (98.00) HAD A TRANSMISSION SHUDDER AT LIGHT LOAD IN OVERDRIVE. FLUSHED TRANSMISSION WITH BG PRODUCTS AND FLUSH MACHINE. ADDED NEW TRANS FLUID AND CONDITIONER. TRANSMISSION NOW SHUDDERS AT ALL SPEEDS WHEN HOT. WILL ORDER NEW FILTER AND REPLACE. WILL ADD FRICTION MODIFIER AND TRY AGAIN. HAVE TO TOW ANOTHER VEHICLE THIS WEEKEND AND AM AFRAID TO DO SO. I AM COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY THAT THESE PROBLEMS COULD HAPPEN TO ANY VEHICLE STARTING AT 48,000 MILES. ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED WITH TOP OF THE LINE PRODUCTS. HAVE BEEN A FORD OWNER ALL MY LIFE AND AM COMPLETELY DIS-SATISFIED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS SUPPOSED NUMBER ONE SELLING TRUCK.

IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION IT WOULD WITHOUT A DOUBT HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE VEHICLE GEAR SHIFT CAN BE MOVED AT ANYTIME WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE OR THE RELEASE BUTTON BOTH WHEN DRIVING AT 60 MPH OR THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN MY YARD. EASILY A CHILD CAN MOVE THE VEHICLE INTO GEAR AND START IT ROLLING OR BRING IT TO A DEAD STOP WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BY JUST BUMPING INTO IT. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY WERE UNWILLING TO HELP WITH THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHICH WILL NOW COST ME OVER $800.00 TO FIX. THIS AMOUNT SEEMS EXCESSIVE AND I FEAR WILL KEEP MANY PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCE THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM FROM FIXING IT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE OTHERWISE PERFORMS FINE. I HAVE CONTACTED SALVAGE COMPANIES WHO HAVE STATED THAT THEIR PRICE ON THIS PART IS WHAT IT IS BECAUSE THEY CAN SELL THESE PARTS ALL DAY INDICATING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. FORD WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. HOW LONG SHOULD A SHIFTER LEVER LAST? I'M 48 YRS OLD, I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES SOME WITH MANY MORE MILES THAN THIS ONE AND I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS PART.

I RETURNED MY FORD F-150 TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELING PAST THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DURING NORMAL BRAKING. FORD IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP SALES MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGES HE HAS REPLICATED THE PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY; HOWEVER, BECAUSE FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM REPORTED IN OTHER CASES ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, AND I BELIEVE IT IS TIME FOR NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE BEFORE DEATHS ARE REPORTED FROM BRAKING/ACCELERATING THROUGH STOP SIGNS/LIGHTS AND HITTING OR BEING HIT BY SOMEONE. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS SOMEHOW ALSO RELATED TO THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARPING WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (20K - 30K MILES). *TR

AFTER REPLACING THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS DURING 8/07/10 - 8/10/10 TO TRY AND ALLEVIATE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELING PAST THE ACCELERATOR WHEN BRAKING (NORMAL BRAKING), I HAD TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I CANNOT ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK WHO IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE VEHICLE FROM 8/11/10 THROUGH 8/25/10 WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER DRIVING IT EVERY DAY TO AND FROM WORK TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM COULD BE REPLICATED. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING PAST THE ACCELERATOR WITH NORMAL BRAKING; HOWEVER, DID NOT HAPPEN EVERYTIME. I AGREED WITH THAT. AFTER THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED THE FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM, THE FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE SAID THERE IS NOT A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP THAT FORD DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AND THEY COULD NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE FOR ME. IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN PROBLEM, AS I DROVE SEVERAL 2007 AND 2008 F-150'S THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD ON THE LOT. EACH ONE OF THEM HAD THE PROBLEM I NOTED ABOVE. THE 2009 F-150 DOES NOT HAVE THE BRAKING PROBLEM I FOUND OUT WHEN I TEST DROVE ONE.

AT SLOW SPEEDS, 5 TO 10 MPH, AND WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO BRAKE FOR A STOP, THE ENGINE CAN REV TO 1750 TO 2000 RPM, PROHIBITING YOUR STOP, POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. A HARD BRAKING ACTION IS NECESSARY OR SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL IS REQUIRED. AFTER DISCUSSING THIS COMPLAINT WITH ANOTHER FORD TRUCK OWN, WE'D DECIDED THAT OUR RIGHT FOOT WAS NOT ONLY ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT ALSO THE GAS PEDAL SIMULTANEOUSLY. BOTH ARE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF EACH OTHER, WHICH PROVIDES FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. I'D SUGGEST A DESIGN CHANGE, TOWARD FORD, SEPARATING THE TWO PEDALS SLIGHTLY IN A BETTER ATTEMPT TO AVOID THIS FROM HAPPENING. I'M SORRY FOR THE FORM SUBMISSION, BUT IT WAS IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT A SOMETHING I'D THOUGHT WAS A REAL ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I WAS DRIVING APPROX 50 MPH TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND MY TRUCK BEGAN ACCELERATING! I STARTED BRAKING AND IT FAILED TO SLOW DOWN AS IT APPROACHED 60MPH. I PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PRACTICALLY STANDING ON IT USING THE STEERING WHEEL FOR LEVERAGE AND IT DID FINALLY SLOW TO ALMOST A STOP BUT THE ENGINE WAS REVVING VERY LOUD AND YOU COULD FEEL THE TRUCK PULLING FORWARD AS I HAD THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO START CUTTING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO KEEP FROM HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE STOP LIGHT. I FINALLY IN PANIC MODE KEPT MY FEET ON THE BRAKE, ENGINE REVVING THE WHOLE TIME AND SHIFTED INTO PARK. IT FINALLY STOPPED AND THE ENGINE SLOWED. I WAS SCARED TO PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE. I DID HOWEVER PUT IT IN DRIVE AND SLOWLY STARTED MOVING FORWARD AS A POLICEMAN BEHIND ME BLUE LIGHTED ME TO PULL OVER. I WAS RELIEVED TO SEE HIM THINKING HE HAD WITNESSED THE EVENT AND WAS GOING TO HELP. I WAS PHYSICALLY SHAKING AND MY 7 YEAR OLD WAS CRYING VERY SCARED ASKING ME, "MOMMY WHY DID OUR TRUCK NOT STOP AND SOUND LIKE A RACE CAR?" I ASKED THE POLICEMAN DID YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED? HE SAID, "YES MAM I SAW YOU TRYING TO STOP BUT THAT ISN'T WHY I PULLED YOU, I CLOCKED YOU GOING 60 IN A 45 APPROACHING THE LIGHT." I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO HIM WHAT HAPPENED. HE DID SEE HOW THE TRUCK DIDN'T WANT TO STOP BUT HAD TO TICKET ME NEVER THE LESS BECAUSE OF THE ACCELERATION. I JUST GOT HOME AND STARTED LOOKING ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE 148 OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH NO RECALL OR EXPLANATION FROM FORD!

I HAVE A 2007 FORD F150 IT HAS 14,454 MILES. I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE OF HAVING THE TRUCK ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO. BOTH MYSELF AND MY SISTER WAS IN THE TRUCK AT THE TIME. I STARTED THE ENGINE AND HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND SHIFTED IT IN TO DRIVE WHEN IT ACCELERATED FORWARD FOR NO REASON. I DID NOT THINK MUCH ABOUT IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. I WAS PARKED ON THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE AND STARTED TO MAKE A U-TURN WHEN THE TRUCK AGAIN ACELERATED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND ALMOST CRASHING INTO MY NEIGHBORS GARAGE. SINCE WE DON'T DRIVE THE TRUCK VERY OFTEN I DID NOT TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED. ON APRIL 12TH OF 2009 MY SON WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND DECIDE HE WAS NOT STRAIGHT, SO HE BACKED UP AND WHEN HE PUT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE WITH HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE IT ACCELERATED FORWARD INTO A BACK OF A BUILDING.
