2007 Ford F-150 Complaint Log

TOOK TO DEALER FOR CHECK ENGINE LITE. THEY FOUND FPCM READY TO CRACK IN HALF. TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY THE TRUCK MADE IT TO THE SHOP. EXCESSIVE CORROSION BETWEEN FRAME AND MODULE RESULT OF A VERY POOR DESIGN. NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. SHOULD BE A RECALL. THEY CLAIM THEIR REPLACING 2 TO 3 A WEEK. THIS DEALER DIDN'T EVEN PUT UPGRADE SPACER BOLTS ON. HERE I THOUGHT THEY WERE HELPING ME! *JS

VEHICLE SHAKES AT LOW SPEED VIOLENTLY. DID RESEARCH ON THE WEB THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD TRUCKS. STORIES OF GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THE DEALER FOR SHAKING NEW TRUCK TO EXPENSIVE REPAIRS THAT DIDN'T REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I'M A FAMILY MAN WITH 6 KIDS AND LIMITED MEANS WHICH MEANS I WILL ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS MYSELF BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD A PRO-TECH TO TELL ME THE SHAKING IS NORMAL FOR FORD TRUCKS AS IN THE STORIES POSTED ALL OVER WEB DATING BACK SEVERAL YEARS. I'M STILL PAYING FOR MY TRUCK FOR ABOUT ANOTHER YEAR $647.00 A MONTH BOUGHT IT NEW IN 07 ZERO DOWN WHICH IT SEEMS THAT I WILL END UP WITH ZERO. WIFE AND KIDS CAN'T RIDE IN THE TRUCK UNTIL I FIX IT BECAUSE SHE HAS DONE SOMETHING IN ONE DAY THAT IT SEEMS IS TAKING YOU GUYS SEVERAL YEARS TO DO. SHE DEEMED OUR FAMILY CAR UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS. OH WELL I SUPPOSE THERE MIGHT BE A CERTAIN AMOUNT A PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO DIE FIRST BEFORE THIS AGENCY ACTS. I REMEMBER THE ROLL OVER TIRE THING. LETS HOPE I'M NOT ONE OF THEM BECAUSE THAT WOULD LEAVE MY WIFE ON THE HOOK FOR REST OF THE TRUCK PAYMENTS SHE'S A GREAT STAY AT HOME MOTHER BUT THAT'S NOT GONNA PAY OFF THIS TRUCK MC SHAKY. I BET THAT LAST PART MADE YOU SMILE.WISH ME LUCK AND DO YOUR JOB. I GOTTA GO TRY TO DO MINE. *TR

VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN A PARKING SPOT AT A POST OFFICE. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND DID NOT GIVE IT ANY GAS AND THE ENGINE REVVED TO 6000 RPM'S. NOT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED, I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT DID THE SAME THING BUT STARTED TO COME DOWN IN THE RPM'S BUT I STILL TURNED ENGINE OFF. I STARTED IT A THIRD TIME AND IT REVVED AGAIN BUT CAME BACK TO NORMAL RPM'S. ALL THIS WITHOUT GIVING IT ANY GAS. IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY OTHER F-150 THAT IS A 2005 WHICH I WILL ALSO FILE A DETAILED REPORT ON FOLLOWING THIS REPORT. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLEBODY AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID OTHER FORDS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT FORD HAS NOT DONE A RECALL AND HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS PROBLEM. AS YOU WILL SEE IN MY REPORT ON MY 2005, IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FATALITY DUE TO THIS ISSUE. LOOKING AT BLOGS IN THE INTERNET, OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE 2005 APPROACHING A STOP SIGN ENTERING INTO A VERY BUSY STREET AND THE ENGINE REVVED AND PULLED THE VEHICLE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEFORE MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO DEPRESS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE SAME ISSUE ACCORDING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WAS THE THROTTLEBODY. *TR

TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP ON 4/24/2007 AND THEY SAID THAT THE CAM PHASERS WERE THE PROBLEM OF MY ENGINE TRYING TO STALL.

I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE ON FORD F150. MY CONCERN IS I BROKE DOWN ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE OF CONTROL MODULE FAILURE. ON A 2007 MODEL. LITTLE SCARY ON THE FREEWAY. I THINK SOME ONE SHOULD LOOK IN TO MAYBE A RECALL ON THIS PART. SO NO ONE ELSE WILL EXPERIENCE THE SCARY BRAKE DOWN I HAD ON THE FREEWAY [I-75]. *TR

THE TRUCK BEGAN TO MAKE A CRACKLING SOUND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRUCK MOVED VERY SLOW. THE TRUCK CUT OFF THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DORDS COMPANY THE NEXT DAY. WAS TOLD IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I NEEDED (3) SPROCKETS TO ADJUST THE TIMING BELT. ON MONDAY I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR THAT ONE WAS ALL CHIMED UP. I ASKED WHY I EXPLAINED I CHANGED MY OIL AT THE APPROPRIATE TIMES THE TRUCK IS AT 80,000 MILES. *TR

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.

CHANGED THE SPARKPLUGS ON OUR 2007 FORD F-150, AND SPARKPLUG BROKE OFF IN THE HEAD, HAD TO BUY A SPECIAL TOOL TO REMOVE IT. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND ARE CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLES. HOW CAN FORD AND MOTORCRAFT GET AWAY WITH A POOR DESIGN WHILE CONSUMERS HAVE TO SUFFER AND FOOT THE BILL FOR THEIR MISTAKES. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *KB

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED FROM LOCAL FORD DEALER 10 MONTHS PRIOR (75,000 MILES), AND WAS A DEALER MAINTAINED VEHICLE. I DROVE VEHICLE 3,000 MILES SINCE PURCHASE. WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN AND SEVERE VIBRATION MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL VEHICLE TO SIDE OF ROAD BUT COULD NOT MOVE VEHICLE > 1 MPH WITHOUT SEVERE VIBRATION. PROBLEM WAS FROM COMPLETE FAILURE OF DRIVE SHAFT CENTER SUPPORT BEARING. THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS INDICATIONS OF IMPENDING FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED AND COMPLETE. I HAVE SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT VEHICLE CONTROLLABILITY SHOULD A BEARING FAILURE OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IN ADDITION THE BEARING IS LOCATED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE FUEL TANK. SHATTERED BEARING PARTS COULD POTENTIALLY PENETRATE THE FUEL TANK. THE BEARING IS A NON-SERVICEABLE PART AND THE ENTIRE DRIVESHAFT MUST BE PURCHASED AT A COST OF $1,000, MAKING BEARING CHANGE PRIOR TO FAILURE HIGHLY UNLIKELY. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 FORD F-150 WITH A 5.4L V8 ENGINE. THERE WAS INTERMITTENT RATTLE NOISE (KNOCKING) AND ROUGH IDLE. AFTER THE VEHICLE WARMS UP AND I COME TO A STOP OR SLOW ROLL THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE AND A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE IS HEARD IN THE ENGINE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS ENGINE AND FORD DENIES IT IS. I HAD IT FIXED IN SEPTEMBER 2011, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY WITH 49,934 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING AND CURRENTLY HAS 82,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS INFORMED BY BOTH THE DEALER AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY THEY WILL NOT REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS PRIOR ISSUE DURING THE WARRANTLY TIME. DEALER WANTS APPROXIMATELY $300.00 TO INSPECT TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT HAPPENS DURING SLOW SPEEDS OR IDLE AT STOP LIGHTS AND ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE OR REV UP THE RPMS. I BELIEVE THE TSB WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE IN 2010 BUT THE MANUFACTURE HAS NOT NOTIFIED CONSUMERS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND FORD MOTOR NEEDS TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE ENGINE AT THEIR COST. *JS

BOTH THE LOCKING UP OF THE BRAKES AND SUDDEN ACCELERATION ARE VERY DANGEROUS. THE MILEAGE IS 54,000 AND HAVE HAD ALL THESE PROBLEMS. IS FORD NOT TELLING THE CUSTOMER OF THESE DANGEROUS PROBLEMS. *TR

I NORMALLY WOULDN'T FILE A COMPLAINT EXCEPT IN THIS SITUATION WE HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS "CERTIFIED" USED VEHICLE, IT PUT MY FAMILY IN EXTREME DANGER, AND THE SERVICE CONSULTANT AT FORD HAD INDICATED TO ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE F150 MODEL.
