2007 Ford F-150

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW. AT APPROX. 22000, I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX 50 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED A SHAKE, RATTLE AND ROLL. IN LESS THAN 1/4 MILE, THE ENGINE LOCKED BUT I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS LATE SATURDAY BUT AFTER 2-3 HOURS FOUND A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND LEFT IT THEIR BACK LOT. I WAS TOLD THE NEXT WEEK THAT FORD WANTED THE ENGINE BACK INTACT. AFTER AROUND THREE WEEKS AND $800+ FOR A RENTAL I GOT THE TRICK BACK WITH A NEW ENGINE. 2800 MILES LATER, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. MY WARRANTY WAS OUT ON TIME BUT FORD DID REPLACE THE ENGINE AGAIN BUT I WAS OUT THE RENTAL CAR--AGAIN $800+. THIS WAS SOME 6 MONTHS BACK AND ALL IS OK FOR NOW BUT I WAS TOLD IF THE ENGINE BLOWS AGAIN FORD WILL NOT COVER IT. AND ON THE 2ND REPLACEMENT (3RD TOTAL) ENGINE THAT PISTONS WERE IN THE OIL PAN. 5.4 ENGINE. *TR

REPEATED FAILURE 2007 FORD F150 IGNITION COIL.HAVE REPLACED 3 IGNITION COIL ASSEMBLY'S IN MY FORD F150. ONE IN "2011" AND 2 IN 2014. ( DO NOT REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE OF FIRST , WAS ABOUT 2011 ) SEARCHED THE NET AND READ TIME AFTER TIME FORD F150 OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SEEMS FORD MUST KNOW ABOUT ISSUE , BUT NOT FIXED OR RECALLED. MY 2014 IGNITION COIL REPAIR COST $94 EACH ONE PLUS LABOR. ( X3 SO FAR ) THIS YEAR , I WANTED 3 MONTHS WITH THE IGNITION COIL ISSUE TO GET THE TIME AND MONEY TO HAVE FORD FIX. *TR

WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. BEFORE IT WAS A YEAR OLD, WE HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS, THE KNOCKING GOT LOUDER, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL. AS THE YEARS PASSED, WE ASKED OTHER DEALERSHIPS, REPAIR SHOPS, AND THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL. WE WERE ALWAYS TOLD NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. THE KNOCKING SOUND GOT LOUDER, THE ENGINE WAS BOGGING AND TODAY IT IS IN THE SHOP FOR A NEW ENGINE AND WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH $6,000.00. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL????? *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

STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY THEN DIED. TRUCK RESTARTED AND DROVE TO A MECHANIC. WAS TOLD THAT THE ERROR CODES STATED THE CAM SENSORS AND EVERY ERROR FOR THEM CAME UP. HE PULLED UP A BLOG AND SAID THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT ERRORS. SOME DID A QUICK FIX TO SELL OTHERS NEED A NEW MOTOR. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAY A MEMO WENT TO DEALERS BUT UNTIL MORE COME UP THEY WON'T / CAN'T HELP. WAS TOLD IF I GET IT FIXED SAVE THE RECEIPTS. CALLED THE DEALER AND POSSIBLE $6,000-$7,000 FOR NEW MOTOR. *TR

NOTICED SEVERE GAS FUMES INSIDE CAB, AS WELL AS OUTSIDE CAB. RAISE HOOD , STARTED ENGINE AND NOTICED FUEL LEAK ABOUT THE SIZE OF A PENCIL STREAMING OUT FROM HOSE THAT IS ATTACHED TO FUEL RAIL. REMOVED FUEL RAIL THE NEXT DAY AND FOUND A SPLIT IN THE HOSE UNDER THE CLOTH PROTECTIVE OUTER LINING. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR FAILURE. ?. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS SITUATION IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LONGER DISTANCE ROAD TRIP. FAILURE P/N 5C3Z97F792DA FUEL RAIL. *TR

IN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG, AND THEN CLATTERING. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A BLOWN SPARK PLUG. THE THREADS ON THE ENGINE HEAD AND SPARK PLUG WERE STRIPPED/SMASHED. THE COIL WAS COIL WAS ALSO DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR. BOTH MECHANICS I SAW TO FIX THE PROBLEM WERE WELL AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH BLOWN SPARK PLUGS IN THE F150, AND ON-LINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE F150 SINCE 1997. THE SPARK PLUGS WERE FACTORY INSTALLED, AND I WAS SILL UNDER THE MILEAGE RECOMMENDATION FOR NEW PLUGS. VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT FORD WOULD NOT STEP-UP TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS THEIR PROBLEM AND PAY FOR THE FIX. THE FORD CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS REP I SPOKE WITH CLAIMED TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. *TR

MY 2007 FORD F150 HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM, WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, THE ENGINE SURGES FORWARD THE RPM GAUGE WILL FALL TO 400 RPM AND WITHOUT WARNING IT SURGES TO 1000 TO 1200 RPM MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL THE TRUCK, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD, I AM A REPEAT FORD CUSTOMER, BUT WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH MY F150 IT HAS ONLY 35000 MILES FORD WILL LOOSE ME AS A CUSTOMER FOR SURE . *TR
