FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
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. THE ENGINE COULD LOCK UP AT ANY TIME, POSSIBLY ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
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

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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY WIFE AND BABY WERE TRAVELING 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. *TR

VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER FOR TUNE UP WHICH WAS QUOTED AT A MINIMUM TO BE $500 FOR PARTS AND LABOR DUE TO KNOWN ENGINEERING FLAW WITH THE SPARK PLUGS. SPARK PLUGS BREAK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE AND ONE PLUG REMAINED IN THE CYLINDER HEAD. THIS LEAD TO REPLACING THE HEAD WITH A FINAL TOTAL OF $3,500. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MODEL YEARS 2004-2008 AND FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR DISCLOSED THIS KNOWN DEFECT. PREVIOUSLY INSTRUCTED BY DEALER TO NOT HAVE PLUGS CHANGED UNTIL ENGINE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS.
