Driveshaft problems of the 2007 Ford F-150

I was stopped at a traffic light, when the light turned green I gave the truck some gas and it started making noise and acted as if something was about ready to fly apart and severly vibrating. I had to stop as quick as possible with cars behind me swerving to get around me. I had to call a tow service to get my truck home, after inspection of the driveshaft I found that the carrier bearing had slip out of it's housing and the driveshaft was bouncing around in the bearing bracket. I could not locate a carrier bearing anywhere so I called the Ford dealership and was told I would have to buy and replace the entire driveshaft. I did some searches on the internet and found that this has happened numerous times. If you inspect the driveshafts now being sold for replacements you will find that there have been design changes made but Ford won't admit that they had a design flaw with the original driveshaft. By the way, my 2007 f150 only has 32000 miles on it, it's not a wear issue.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 3 mph, there was an abnormal noise. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed the drive shaft fractured. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who informed that the drive shaft would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 99,000. Js.

Started to accelerate out of a parking lot and heard a loud thumping so I pulled over got out looked at the driveshaft seen it had slid back. A bit out of the transmission also out of the carrier bearing.

On 08/14/13 I was at a bank in the city of fairfield CA. 94533, there was an accident in the parking lot, which is a 1 direction entrance, myself and several vehicles had to back out of the lot. As I preceded to accelerate to exit the lot, I heard a loud thump. The next thing I knew was I was unable to move. I exited my vehicle as others who were in the parking lot of the bank approached me and asked if that was my drive shaft hanging down. When I bent down to look I noticed that it had broken at the weld at the yoke of the transmission. When I returned home after being towed, I went on line to see of any other situations of drive shafts braking on Ford trucks, and I have found several, which one broke and the driver lost control and had an accident with massive vehicle damage. I went to the local Ford dealer, and they said they have no recalls with that issue. But Ford has had several complaints of a loud thumping when the vehicle is being placed in gear which is all a result of driveling and drive train problems. My concern is that if I had been traveling at highway speeds and this had happened, the drive-line would have dug into the asphalt and perhaps flipped my truck. Killing myself and perhaps others. I also called Fords customer care center in michigan, but their response is that there has been no complaints or recalls. To which I informed the representative that there were several blogs on line of people having drive-line problems on the Ford f150 trucks. I was in a parking lot backing up when my incident occurred but what happens when it occurs on the highway with children in the vehicle. I am now presently without a vehicle until I am able to have repairs done and I have a $600 monthly car note. I feel that this is a defect that Ford needs to be responsible for taking care of.
