STEERING, WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING AT 35MPH OR LESS THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY MAY EMIT AN INTERMITENT GRINDING NOISE AS IF THE HUB IS TRYING TO LOCK INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. GRINDING NOISE STOPS WHEN VEHICLE IS SLOWED TO 15MPH OR LESS. SOMETIMES FULL STOP IS NEEDED TO CEASE GRINDING NOISE. WHEN NOISE STOP A JERK CAN BE FELT AS IF THE HUB LOCKS BACK INTO ITS PLACE. TOOK VEHICLE TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY RECOMMENDED BRINGING VEHICLE IN WHEN GRINDING NOISE WAS PRESENT. THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE NOISE WILL STOP WHEN I SLOW DOWN. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT RECOMMEND ANY WAY TO DIAGNOSE IT WITHOUT PAYING TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED AND MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT 3 YEARS AGO AT 43K MILES AND HAS APPROX. 80K CURRENT MILES. NOISE IS INTERMITTENT WITH OCCAISIONAL LONG PERIODS BETWEEN OCCURENCES. CAN HAPPEN WITHIN 5 MILES OF DRIVING OR AFTER 500 MILES OF DRIVING.

ANOTHER INCIDENT OF A "DEATH WOBBLE" IN THE FRONT END. GOING DOWN THE HWY THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT WOBBLE. FRONT END OF TRUCK SHAKES DANGEROUSLY. SLOWING TO 20 MPH RESOLVES WOBBLE BUT HITTING A BUMP IN THE RD INITIATES THIS WOBBLE AGAIN. THIS WOBBLE HAS ACTUALLY CAUSED MY TRUCK TO PULL INTO ANOTHER LANE. I HAVE HAD THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED AS WELL AS NEW TIRES AND BALANCING. BALL JOINTS AND OTHER PARTS REPLACED. THIS IS A FACTORY ISSUE AND FORD HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS WITH OWNERS. DEATHS ARE A CERTAIN OUTCOME IF NOT FINALLY ADDRESSED. LATEST EPISODE WAS LAST NIGHT BUT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS.

WHEN MY TRUCK IS AT OPERATING TEMP. AND COMING TO A STOP IT SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL, IT FIRST STARTS BY KNOCKING AND TICKING THEN IT SHUTS DOWN.. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR WHEN YOUR PULLING ANYTHING WITH THE TRUCK ALWAYS IT WANTS TO DIE, OF COURSE UNLESS YOUR GOOD AND CAN THROW IT INTO NEUTRAL AND REV THE MOTOR TO 2000 RPM'S WITH KILLING ANYONE. YOU START LOSING STEERING AND BRAKES WHEN THE MOTORS RPM'S GET VERY LOW.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 2015 HAD 120,000 MILES ON IT NOW PROBLEMS AFTER 5,000 MILES I NOTICED A KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE AND THE WHOLE TRUCK WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE AFTER A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THIS STARTED AT 125,000 MILES. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON, WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT. JUST RECENTLY MY WIFE AND I TOOK A TRIP OUT OF STATE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE STARED TO KNOCK AND TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE. I HAD TO PULL OVER TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. HAVE TO DO THIS THREE TIMES ON OUR TRIP, NOT A HAPPY TRIP IN THE TRUCK. AFTER OUR TRIP THE I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH THE TRUCK THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT THERE PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE CAM SENSOR OR CAM PHASOR. TO HAVE IT REPLACED WOULD COST ME $4,000. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THAT TOLD ME THE SAME THING THE MECHANIC SAID AND THAT THEY WOULD CHARGE ME $2,000 TO REPLACE. THEY ALSO INFORMED THE THAT MOST OF THE 2007 F150 THAT COME ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE LET IT SIT IN MY GARAGE TILL FORD DOES A RECALL. I AM NOT PAYING FOR THERE MISTAKE FOR SHODDY WORK.

ENGINE
SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT. MECHANIC REPLACED IT FOR $350 THEN IT BLEW OUT AGAIN 2 DAYS LATER. PROBLEM WITH FORD SPARK PLUG TEARING THREADS OUT AND NOT BEING ABLE TO REPLACE SPARK PLUG WITHOUT REPLACING ENTIRE ENGINE. MY SON WAS ON HIS WAY BACK TO COLLEGE (5HR DRIVE) WHEN THE SPARK PLUG BLEW. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN! HAD IT TOWED TO MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED SPARK PLUG AND 2 DAYS LATER SAME ONE BLEW AGAIN WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. TOWED A SECOND TIME AND MECHANIC IS SEARCHING FOR WAYS TO RESOLVE. HE SAYS WE MAY HAVE TO REPLACE ENTIRE ENGINE BECAUSE OF THREADS BEING STRIPED WHEN IT BLEW OUT. FORD MECHANIC HAS LOOKED AT AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY SOLUTIONS. IN RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM HAVE HAD ENGINE FIRE WHEN SPARKPLUG BLEW. WE WERE IN PROCESS OF SELLING VEHICLE SO NOW WE ARE SOL! WE DON'T HAVE $4000 TO REPLACE ENGINE AND OUR FAMILY NEEDS A 2ND CAR. NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY A FORD. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT!
