SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TAKATA RECALL INFLATORS HAVE BEEN REMOVED. INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYS TIRE INFLATION WARNING ALWAYS. THE MAIN SAFETY ISSUE I SEE WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS ARE TO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER AND ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE. THE ISSUE COMES ABOUT WHEN DEPRESSING BRAKE TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE. I AM AWARE OF THIS AND IT STILL HAPPENS SOMETIMES. SOMETIMES THE MOTOR REVS BUT VEHICLE WILL STAY STATIONARY. SOMETIMES THERE'S MORE PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR THAN BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE WILL LURCH FORWARD OR BACKWARD. THIS BEING AN XL MODEL, ITS NOT EQUIPPED WITH ADJUSTABLE PEDALS WHICH MAY SOLVE PROBLEM BUT AM UNCERTAIN OF THAT. IT SEEMS TO BE IDEAL VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR THESE TO ISSUES.

ENGINE
I BOUGHT A 2007 FORD F15 FX4 TRUCK A YEARS AGO, AND TOOK IT TO FORD TO ASKED THEM ABOUT THE TICKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NORMAL ON THE 5.4 TRITON. ABOUT A WEEK AGO THE TICKING GOT LOUDER AND I LOOKED UP PROBLEMS ONLINE, AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE ENGINE THAT CAUSES CAM PHASERS TO FAIL, AND OIL PRESSURE DROPS TO ZERO. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT WHEN I CALLED THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, AND THAT IT WOULD BE ON ME. I LOOKED ON SEVERAL FORD FORUMS AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE 1000'S OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED BEFORE FORD OWNS UP TO THERE PROBLEMS! THEY ARE IGNORING THE ISSUE AND HAVING THE CONSUMER PAY AYWHERE FROM 3500- 8000 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. ALSO, THE ENGINE HAS VERY BAD POWER LOSS AND SHAKES VIGOURESLY WHEN WARM AND PULLING UP TO STOP OR REVERSE.

POWER TRAIN
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.
