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.

    Vehicle reports “check charging system” which has an associated TSB but no recall.

    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.

    EVERY VEHICLE THAT FORD PUT OUT WITH A CAM PHASER IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE CAN PHASER. ANY SAE CERTIFIED MECHANIC [name removed] 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...

    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.

    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?

    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

    2007 FORD F-150 SUPER CAB BUILT IN DEARBORN. PASSENGER SIDE/RIGHT SIDE OF WINDSHIELD WIPER COWL RUBBING ON HOOD AND CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION NOTICED PASSENGER SIDE/RIGHT SIDE OF FRONT BUMPER FORWARD 1/2 INCH WHEN COMPARED TO LEFT. THE AREA WHERE THE HOOD AND PASSENGER FENDER JOIN THE CAB HAS BEEN MIS-WELDED 1/4" AT THE FACTORY ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS MODEL AND 2007-2008 YEARS BOTH HAVE SIMILAR ISSUE, THOUGHT NOT AS NOTICEABLE AS MY VEHICLE. SOME ARE IN TOLERANCE AND MAY BE ADJUSTED ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, SOME ARE OUT OF TOLERANCE (AS IN MY CASE) AND SINCE CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED WILL BE PURCHASED BACK BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

    BOUGHT THE T07 F150 AT 28K AND AT 61K THIS HAPPENED. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW GEAR 2ND THE ENGING CHUGGED A LITTLE ( LKE AN OLD DIESAL) TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE SMALL OIL SEAL BEHIND THE CAM. THEY WAS GOING TO CHARGE BE 5600 FOR A NEW ENGINE. THEY TRIED LIKE HE11 TO GET ME TO SAY I DIDNT HAVE THE OIL CHANGED REGULARLY. 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. I LOOKED AT THE ORIGIONAL PAPER WORK THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE TH ORIGIONAL WIRING HARNESS BEFORE IT EVEN LEFT THE FACTORY.

    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. WE HAD 2 WITNESS, SAYING THAT HIS FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. NO ONE WAS HURT, ONLY DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING AND THE TRUCK. I HAVE NOW NOTIFIED THE REPAIR SHOP AND GOING TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH FORD. IT APPEARS THIS HAS HAPPEN MANY TIMES WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES. *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.
