general problems of the 2007 Ford F-150

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.

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.

Driving and started to shake, has nasty rattle (death rattle) threw code p0355. Fixed the code by installing new wires $500. 00. Fixed for 2 weeks then started doing it again and code p0355 came up again. Has lack of power and shakes bad. Very much a hazard to drive.

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 brake light indicator on the dashboard is coming on. This seems to be do to the fact that the resistors were not sodered correctly. I've been looking on multiple forms and this has happened to a lot of the f150's. Ford should be responsible for thsi.

Driving along, about 35mph, stopped vehicle at traffic light, engine started revving, placed both feet on brake, tried shifting to neutral, problem got worse (revved higher), light turned green, let go of brake, engine revved and vehicle went to 45mph without accelerating, applied brake, pulled over, shut off engine, restarted engine, still revving, pulled back on gas pedal with foot, engine rpms finally dropped to normal, inspected floor area -found no obstructions nor debris in pedal. Also concerned that this may have happened once before about 2 years ago, when I was involved in an accident.

Power windows, radio, wire harness improper design causing shortage in the harness. Potential safety harness due to this manufacturing defect.

The contact owns a 2007 Ford F-150. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the cam phasers failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 132,000.

Power windows stopped working entirely. At all switches. No power to them. Wires in door jam for power windows rubbed till they broke. Leaving no power to any window at any switch. Cost $ 370. 00 for Ford to diagnose and fix broken wires right where mechanic knew they were broke before looking. . This is a recurring problem in these trucks and Ford should own up to it and fix them free of charge. I have always owned Fords but after this episode with the dealership. Not to happy. . . . . . Checked internet. Many reports of this exactly as it happened and in same area of vehicle. . Have seen many complaints same problem, same fix, same place, similar costs to customer. . . Not right. Ford is fully aware of this and doesn't care. Could have caused a fire. Had a burnt smell.

The engine was replaced in 2012 with 53,000 miles on the truck due to a significant knocking coming from the engine. The truck was still under warranty so it cost me nothing to replace. 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. Both the original dealership that replaced the engine and the auto mech that I had the truck taken to, are researching if the parts are still under warranty.

Vehicle has stopped running going down the road several times. It does this unexpectedly, and I let it coast to the shoulder and it cranks up. I drove it to the local dealer, and they could not find a problem. It now sits in my driveway, because it is unsafe to drive it in traffic. I never intend to buy another Ford.

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. .

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.

I was driving down the street about a 1/2 mile from my destination when all of a sudden a wrench signal came on, on my dash. My truck stop pulling while I was in traffic and unable to excel I had to pull over quickly to avoid getting rear ended I limped with no excel to destination where I call Ford to pick it up. After going to pick it up I was surprised to find out that my warranty did not cover my part which was over $600. 00 I mean me and my spouse could have been hurt severly because of this this is a issue Ford need to address. I found out it was the throttle body.

While driving truck it shut off suddenly without and warning, driver fuel pump control module. This unit is located in an area that is highly corrosive and has no protection against the elements. When this part failed I was driving in a parking lot at a low speed however I was told it can happen any time at all. Once this part goes the vehicle is totally inop. I had to have the truck towed in to the dealer and the part replaced at a cost of $356. 00 labor $125. 00 parts. I was also told I was lucky it took this long and had better plan on doing it again in the near future as it is a common issue with all Ford trucks. Ford redesigned the part but the service manager told me it will happen again as it is only nickel coated and offers no protection from the elements.

Vehicle does not start, after spending weeks at the dealership and haveing the pcm replaced. . . It ran for a few days and now again it will not start. The driver is stranded again out on a remote job site. This problem has been ongoing now for two years. Ford has not been able to get it repaired.

This vehicle has had a minimum of 200 no start conditions since we purchased it. It has been to the dealership 20 or more time for this problem. They can not or will not fix it.

My wife and baby were travelling down the 405 freeway at 70mph when out of no where the trucks dashboard lit up and the truck completely shut down in the fast lane. The gas pedal did nothing and there was no way out of the fast lane safely. 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. I was informed that it was the electronic throttle body or electronic throttle sensor that had gone out and that the service consultant had seen it on Ford f150 trucks ranging from brand new to older models.

Ford spark plugs blow out of head because they are not the correct plugs from factory and are not tighten correctly. There needs to be a recall.

This vehicle has experienced a no startn condition 40-50 times since we purchase it. It has been to the local Ford dealership multiple times(20 or more) for the condition. This vehicle is operated by the charleston county public works department and has repeatedly stranded our employee at rem,ote locations around the county and prevented the emplyoee from responding to work assignments. Between the dte of 6/21/11 and 7/5/2011 ot has been towed to the dealership four times!!!!.

Defective spark plugs in 2007 Ford f150 5. 4 l 3valve v8. I was informed by my mechanic at Ford that there is a strong possiblity that one or all of my spark plugs might break during removal, and that it will cost an additional 90. 00 to extract each broken plug. In fact there is a TSB bullitin with procedures to address this issue. TSB 08-1-9 . I can not believe that in the modern age we have such a defective situation. And no remidy. Ford has stated that they will not address this problem until there are sufficient complaints and instructed by your agency. Leaving those owners of the 5. 4l engine to foot the repair bill on an otherwise simple process for other vehicles. In additionthe Ford manual states the spark plugs are good for 100,000 mi. But the service department highly recommends replacing the spark plugs at 60,000 mi to prevent seized spark plugs. Quite a contradiction. If this is poor engineering on Fords part, the consumer should not have to bear the burden.

Back up sensors on my f150 truck failed to work. I backing out of a dark, unlit, winding driveway and backed into a tree.

Driving along, heard a bang, smelled very strong smell of fuel, truck started backfiring and vibrating so much it was hard to control, forward motion slowed rapidly, vibration, attempted to pull the truck over across 4 lane of traffic, opened windows as the smell of fuel was choking everyone in the cab. Stopped truck, engine running very rough and had strange noise, unable to locate. Eventually found right rear most spark plug blew out of head (leaving metal threaded part and base in head), contacted dealer "big Ford, vancouver, wa" and "courtesy Ford, portland, oregon" both claim the "flex fuel engines have a common problem with the spark plugs separating, sticking in the head, and/or exploding out of the head" the also stated the Ford was aware of the problem but no recall was taking place as there were not enough complaints as of yet (the truck engine is damaged, still smells like fuel inside the cab, plugs, coil, and injector have been changed, dealer would not honer "bumper to bumper warranty" this issue will eventually cause a great number of deaths and or injuries and the fuel issue could likely cause an explosion (even in my vehicle after the repairs)(dealers wanted between $2,000. 00 and $6,000. 00 to extract the spark plug bases and stated repeatedly it was a common issue and it was "not covered under warrently".
