ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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 POSSIBILITY 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 BULLETIN 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 REMEDY. 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. *TR

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"

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY TRUCK WAS GIVING HESITATION GOING UP HILLS AND I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH FORD (MIND YOU THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT ON) BUT BEFORE I COULD GET IT LOOKED AT THE SPARKPLUG BLEW OUT OF IT AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE A WARRANTY FORD IS TELLING ME IT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE I DROVE IT THAT WAY LIKE I WAS SUPPOSE TO KNOW THE PLUG WAS LOOSE AS HE SAYS. THE GARAGE HAS THE OPTION OF HOW THEY WORD IT TO DETERMINE IF IT IS COVERED AND THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN TO ME WHEN I TOLD THEM THERE WAS NO WARNING. ALL THEY SAID IS I DROVE IT THAT WAY FOR SO LONG THAT IT WAS MY PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AT SLOW SPEEDS, 5 TO 10 MPH, AND WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO BRAKE FOR A STOP, THE ENGINE CAN REV TO 1750 TO 2000 RPM, PROHIBITING YOUR STOP, POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. A HARD BRAKING ACTION IS NECESSARY OR SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL IS REQUIRED. AFTER DISCUSSING THIS COMPLAINT WITH ANOTHER FORD TRUCK OWN, WE'D DECIDED THAT OUR RIGHT FOOT WAS NOT ONLY ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT ALSO THE GAS PEDAL SIMULTANEOUSLY. BOTH ARE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF EACH OTHER, WHICH PROVIDES FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. I'D SUGGEST A DESIGN CHANGE, TOWARD FORD, SEPARATING THE TWO PEDALS SLIGHTLY IN A BETTER ATTEMPT TO AVOID THIS FROM HAPPENING. I'M SORRY FOR THE FORM SUBMISSION, BUT IT WAS IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT A SOMETHING I'D THOUGHT WAS A REAL ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2007 F150 CREW CAB WITH 33,000 MILES. SHE WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND THE ENGINE REVVED VARY HIGH AND SHE COULD NOT STOP FOR THE INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS SHE SHOT STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION BEFORE SHE GOT THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. SHE WAS SCARED TO DEATH. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM! I TOLD THEM TO DO AN INTERNET SEARCH AND THEY WILL SEE THOUSANDS OF DOCUMENTED CASES BUT I'VE YET TO SEE A SOLUTION POSTED. *TR

WHEELS, TIRES:VALVE
I BOUGHT A USED FORD 2007 F-150 SUPER CREW CAB 4X4. NEW TIRES WERE PUT ON BY THE DEALER. I HAVE HAD THREE SEPARATE INCIDENTS OF THE TIRE VALVE STEMS BREAKING AND CAUSING DEFLATION WHILE IN MOVEMENT. AFTER TWO BREAKING I WENT TO THE DEALER AND COMPLAINED. I WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO REASON OR COMPLAINTS OF THIS OCCURRING.WHILE TRAVELING OUT OF STATE I HAD A THIRD STEM BREAK. EACH TIME I HAD NEW STEMS REPLACED. I BEGAN RESEARCHING FOR MYSELF AND FOUND AN ARTICLE WHICH STATED THAT FORD HAD COMPLAINTS OF DEFECTIVE VALVE STEMS ON ALMOST ALL THEIR VEHICLES INCLUDING MERCURY'S. AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS AND COMPLAINTS TO MY DEALER I WENT TO A LOCAL TIRE DISTRIBUTOR AND THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING ALL RUBBER VALVE STEMS WITH BRASS HIGH PRESSURE VALVE STEMS. AFTER DOING THIS I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM. THE COST FOR RUBBER STEMS ARE AROUND $1.50 EACH AND I PAID $6.00 EACH FOR THE GOOD STEMS. THIS IS A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY'S SAFETY. MY DEALER STILL HASN'T CONTACTED ME WITH A SUGGESTION AS TO CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. FIRST INCIDENT WAS AROUND APRIL 5, 2010 AND SECOND INCIDENT AUGUST 24, 2010 AND THIRD WAS OCTOBER 18,2010. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, EQUIPMENT
THIS EVENT HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. THE VEHICLE IS A 2007 FORD F150 STX MODEL WITH THE 4.6L V8. IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS TWICE THE #3 CYLINDER HAS BLOWN A COIL PACK. THE FIRST TIME ALL I HAD TO DO WAS REPLACE THE COIL PACK. THIS MOST RECENT TIME IT ACTUALLY BLEW THE SPARK PLUG OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD. I AGAIN HAD TO REPLACE THE COIL PACK BUT THIS TIME I HAD TO BUY A KIT TO REPAIR THE STRIPPED HEAD. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH OUT INCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING ON A MAIN HIGH WAY BUT LUCKILY I WAS IN THE FAR RIGHT HAND LANE. HAD I NOT BEEN I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GUIDE THE VEHICLE TO SAFETY AS IT HAD NO POWER. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
EVIDENTLY, FORD HAS HAD A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRUCK SPARK PLUGS FOR YEARS. JUST GOOGLE "FORD TRUCK SPARK PLUGS" AND YOU WILL FIND MANY COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ALONG WITH THEIR UNBELIEVABLE STORIES OF MISERY THIS HAS CAUSED. I AM CONTINUALLY HAVING THE COILS ON THE SPARK PLUGS GO OUT. I REPLACED ONE AND IT COST ME $262. NOW, I HAVE ANOTHER GOING OUT. THE TRUCK RUNS ROUGH. I WOULD REPLACE ALL OF THEM, BUT THE FORD DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED NOT TO BECAUSE THEY SAID THESE PLUGS BREAK OFF WHEN TRYING TO REMOVE THEM AND THEN TEND TO BLOW OUT OF THE ENGINE AFTER REMOVING AND REPLACING THEM. THEN, I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND READ ABOUT THE HORROR STORIES ABOUT THESE FORD SPARK PLUGS. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD BY EMAIL, BUT THEY SAID UNTIL THE NHTSA ISSUES A RECALL, THEY WILL DO NOTHING. PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, TIRES
I BOUGHT A NEW 2007 FORD F150 IN 2007. IT IS NOW 2010 WITH 44K MILES. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED IT WITH THE EMER. BRAKE, TIRES AND FRONT END POPPING, BUT TODAY WAS THE WORST! I WAS DRIVING APPROX 50 MPH TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND MY TRUCK BEGAN ACCELERATING! I STARTED BRAKING AND IT FAILED TO SLOW DOWN AS IT APPROACHED 60MPH. I PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PRACTICALLY STANDING ON IT USING THE STEERING WHEEL FOR LEVERAGE AND IT DID FINALLY SLOW TO ALMOST A STOP BUT THE ENGINE WAS REVVING VERY LOUD AND YOU COULD FEEL THE TRUCK PULLING FORWARD AS I HAD THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO START CUTTING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO KEEP FROM HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE STOP LIGHT. I FINALLY IN PANIC MODE KEPT MY FEET ON THE BRAKE, ENGINE REVVING THE WHOLE TIME AND SHIFTED INTO PARK. IT FINALLY STOPPED AND THE ENGINE SLOWED. I WAS SCARED TO PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE. I DID HOWEVER PUT IT IN DRIVE AND SLOWLY STARTED MOVING FORWARD AS A POLICEMAN BEHIND ME BLUE LIGHTED ME TO PULL OVER. I WAS RELIEVED TO SEE HIM THINKING HE HAD WITNESSED THE EVENT AND WAS GOING TO HELP. I WAS PHYSICALLY SHAKING AND MY 7 YEAR OLD WAS CRYING VERY SCARED ASKING ME, "MOMMY WHY DID OUR TRUCK NOT STOP AND SOUND LIKE A RACE CAR?" I ASKED THE POLICEMAN DID YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED? HE SAID, "YES MAM I SAW YOU TRYING TO STOP BUT THAT ISN'T WHY I PULLED YOU, I CLOCKED YOU GOING 60 IN A 45 APPROACHING THE LIGHT." I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO HIM WHAT HAPPENED. HE DID SEE HOW THE TRUCK DIDN'T WANT TO STOP BUT HAD TO TICKET ME NEVER THE LESS BECAUSE OF THE ACCELERATION. I JUST GOT HOME AND STARTED LOOKING ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE 148 OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH NO RECALL OR EXPLANATION FROM FORD! I AM TAKING MY TRUCK TOMORROW TO THE SHOP TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND THE COMPUTER SCANNED FOR ANY ERROR CODES! WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE! PLEASE DON'T WAIT LIKE TOYOTA UNTIL SOMEONE DIES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! PLEASE HELP! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY TRUCK STARTING HAVING BRAKES PROBLEMS (VIBRATION WHEN STOPPING) AT AROUND 25,000 MILES. TOOK IT IN TO DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION WITH 29,000 MILES ON IT. ENDED UP MACHINING ALL ROTORS (NOT UNDER WARRANTY). I'M NOW EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AT 42,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THE ROTORS AND CALIPERS ARE SEVERELY UNDERSIZED CONSIDERING THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK. I SUGGEST THAT FORD MAKE GOOD ON THE NEXT BRAKE JOB. HAD A 88 CHEVY P/U AND WENT 75,000 MILES BEFORE REPLACING THE FRONT PADS. FORD HAS ERRED ON IT'S ENGINEERING. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
I HAVE A 2007 FORD F150 4WD PICKUP TRUCK. I HAVE 22,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND JUST HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT UPPER BALL JOINTS. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE FORD GARAGE THEY INDICATED THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE FAILURE MECHANISM IF THE UPPER BALL JOINT FAILS IS FOR THE WHEEL TO FOLD UNDER THE VEHICLE AND POTENTIALLY RUPTURE THE BRAKE LINES IN THE PROCESS. THEY INDICATED THIS FAILURE WOULD BE WORSE WHILE PULLING A TRAILER. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY OFFERED NO EXPLANATION OR ASSISTANCE AS THE TRUCK IS OFF WARRANTY. *TR

2007 F150 PURCHASED NEW. IN THE SPRING OF 2010 I STARTED NOTICING THE PAINT BUBBLE ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE HOOD. SUBSEQUENTLY THE PAINT HAS STARTED TO FALL OFF. THERE ARE NO PRIOR MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS (E.G. RE-PAINT / ACCIDENT DAMAGE). THE REMAINDER OF THE PAINT IS SHOWROOM QUALITY, IT APPEARS TO BE LIMITED TO THE HOOD AREA. *TR
