POWER TRAIN
GEAR SLIPPED OUT OF PARK AS I WAS EXITING VEHICLE. I HAD NOT YET CLOSED THE DOOR AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO MOVE DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. I WAS CAUGHT BY THE DOOR AND DRAGGED ALONG UNTIL THE DOOR THREW ME TO THE GROUND, INJURING MY BACK. THE TRUCK CAME TO REST ON BOTH OF MY LEGS. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT MY LEFT LEG EASILY RESULTING IN JUST A FEW CUTS, SCRAPES AND PARTIAL BLACK AND BLUE SPOTS. WOUNDS ALL HEELED THEMSELVES. HOWEVER MY RIGHT WAS THOROUGHLY PINNED AND I HAD TO PULL LONG AND HARD TO REMOVE IT FROM UNDER THE TIRE RESULTING IN LOST FLESH AT MY ANKLE BONE TO RIGHT BELOW MY KNEE AND ABOUT 4 TO 5 INCHES WIDE. *TR

ENGINE
DRIVING ON A POSTED 40 MPH COUNTY ROAD APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND LOST 80% POWER. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE SPARK PLUG(S) WERE BAD AND THE TUNE UP WOULD BE $500-$800 DEPENDING ON "IF" ONE OR ALL OF THEM BROKE DURING REMOVAL. ONE HAD ALREADY BLOWN OUT DURING AFOREMENTIONED INCIDENT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM FOR A LOT OF FORD VEHICLES DURING THE YEARS 2004 THRU 2008. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL REPAIR. THANK YOU. *TR

ENGINE, STRUCTURE
WATER LEAKING FROM INTAKE MANIFOLD COOLANT CROSSOVER LINE. CROSSOVER IS AN ALUMINUM PIPE THAT CONNECTS TO THE PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD. WHEN MANIFOLD STARTED LEAKING COOLANT, 1 & 2 SPARK PLUG HOLES FILLED WITH WATER CAUSING SPARK PLUGS TO SHORT OUT AND STALL THE ENGINE AT LOW SPEED. PER FORD THE ONLY REPAIR IS REPLACEMENT OF THE COMPLETE INTAKE MANIFOLD AT A COST OF OVER $1200.00. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON F-150 FORUMS VIA THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY TRUCK HAS ONLY 105000 MILES ON IT. *TR

ENGINE
ON OCTOBER 31 2014 WHILE VISITING FAMILY AFTER 350 MILE DRIVE MY 2007 FORD F-150 XLT SUPER CAB 4X4 4.6L MOTOR MADE A NOISE SIMILAR TO AN EXPLOSION THAT WAS FELT IN THE CAB BY ALL PASSENGERS. RIGHT AFTER THE EXPLOSION THE TRUCK LOST POWER AND SOUNDED LIKE AN EXHAUST PIPE HAD FALLEN OFF THE MOTOR. THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND EXHAUST BUT TRUCK WAS DRIVABLE. BROUGHT TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT 2 SPARK PLUGS HAS BLOWN OUT AND ONE OF THE TWO HAD TAKEN THE THREADS WITH IT. ADVISED ME THAT THIS WAS VERY RARE AND I HAD TO OPTIONS TO FIX. ONE WAS TO RE-THREAD AND REPLACE ALL SPARK PLUGS FOR $899. SECOND WAS TO REPLACE HEAD AT $2100. TOLD DEALERSHIP TO DO THE LESSER OPTION. HAD TO LEAVE TRUCK THERE AND OBTAIN A ONE WAY RENTAL FOR 5 PEOPLE AT $300. HAVE NOW FOUND OUT THAT ITS NOT RARE AND MAY NOT BE FIXED EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR. I AM GLAD THAT THIS HAPPENED ON A SURFACE ROAD AT LOW SPEED AND NOT ON THE HWY. *TR

STEERING
I HAD THE PUMP, RACK AND PINION REPLACED AND THE SENSOR. AFTER ALL THIS WAS REPLACED SOME TIME LATER THE STEERING GOT TIGHT . I TOOK IT BACK THE MECHANIC THOUGHT I HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM. HE SPRAYED A LUBRICANT ON BOTH UNIVERSALS ON THE STEERING SHAFT. WHEN IT GETS TIGHT AGAIN I WILL GO AND SATURATE THESE TWO UNIVERSALS WITH A SPRAY LUBRICANT. *TR

ENGINE
COOL WET MORNING (65F) BUT NOT RAINING AT THE TIME. DROVE DOWN HILL TO STOP SIGN AT 35MPH. AFTER SLOWING TO ABOUT 5MPH, TRUCK SUDDENLY SURGED DESPITE BRAKING HARD ENOUGH TO ENGAGE ANTILOCK BRAKES DRAGGING THE TRUCK INTO THE INTERSECTION. LESS THAN A MILE LATER, STILL GOING DOWN HILL AT 25MPH SLOWED FOR ANOTHER STOP SIGN. ENGINE SURGED AGAIN TO 3000RPM. DRAG INTO INTERSECTION WAS AVOIDED BY SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL. SURGE DROPPED SPONTANEOUSLY WITHIN 10 SECONDS. *TR

STEERING
NOTED POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKAGE OVER PERIOD OF TIME. EVENTUALLY FLUID COMPLETELY LEAKED OUT. FORD GARAGE TOLD ME THAT STEERING RACK AND HOSES NEEDED REPLACED DUE TO EXTENSIVE CORROSION FROM SLURRY USED ON ROADS IN OHIO. WAS TOLD NO PREVENTIVE MEASURES WOULD HAVE AVOIDED THE PROBLEM WHICH WAS INEVITABLE. REPAIR COSTS WERE 1900 DOLLARS. COMPLAINT IS THAT I CONTEND THAT INFERIOR MATERIALS WERE USED FOR LINES. THIS IS A 7 Y/O VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE CORRODED IN VITAL AREA SUCH AS STEERING. COULD HAVE HAD SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES UNDER HIGH SPEED DRIVING. WOULD SUSPECT THAT UNREPORTED INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE DESIGN IS TERRIBLE ON THESE TRUCKS. LUCK FOR MY FAMILY WE WERE IN TOWN GOING SLOW WHEN THIS UNIT SHORTED OUT. IF WE WOULD HAVE BEEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY GRAVE AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. FROM READING ON THE INTERNET THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS PART. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
NOTICED LEAKAGE UNDER FRONT LEFT TIRE. ALL TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD LEAKED OUT. TRANSMISSION OIL LINE RUSTED THROUGH. HAD PREVIOUS LEAKAGE WHICH I REPAIRED WITH A PIECE OF HIGH PRESSURE LINE. CHECKED METAL LINES OF TRANSMISSION OIL COOLING SYSTEM AND FOUND NUMEROUS AREAS RUSTED OUT AND READY TO BURST. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO DEALER TO REPLACE COOLING SYSTEM LINES. WAS TOLD CORROSION IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE LINES ON F150. CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FORD DOES NOT NOTIFY OWNERS ABOUT POSSIBLE PREVENTIVE ACTION TO DEAL WITH THE CORROSION OR USE NON-CORROSION MATERIALS FOR PRESSURE LINES. *TR

AIR BAGS
ON 9-26-14 THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT OFF AFTER 10-15 MINUTES. I DROVE THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES ON 9-26. AT 1PM ON 9-27 I STARTED THE TRUCK AND WITHIN 5-10 SECONDS THE AIRBAG EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN PARK AS I WAS OPENING MAIL BEFORE LEAVING. I WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED BUT HAD A SORE RIGHT SHOULDER MOST OF THE DAY. FORD IS TELLING ME I HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW AIRBAG AS THEY ARE ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 5 YEARS. MY TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, PURCHASED IT NEW IN 2007 AND IT JUST TURNED 41000. THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD AS I HAD NO WARNING OF DEPLOYMENT, ONLY MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON. I TOLD FORD OF I HAD TO PAY FOR THE AIRBAG THEN I WANTED ALL PARTS REMOVED. FORD IS GOING TO CALL ME ON 9-29-30. *TR

STEERING
WHILE TRAVELING FROM NYS TO NJ, I NOTICED THAT IT BECAME HARDER TO STEER THE TRUCK AS THE TRIP PROGRESSED. WHILE ON 80E IN NJ IT BECAME SO SEVERE THAT TO CHANGE LANES AND TAKE AN OFF RAMP TOOK ALL THE STRENGTH I COULD MUSTER. I KNEW IT WASN'T MY POWER STEERING PUMP BECAUSE I CONTINUED TO LOSE RANGE OF STEERING MOTION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I LIMPED THE TRUCK TO A GAS STATION IN DENVILLE NJ. FLUID LEVEL WAS OK, BELT WAS GOOD AND TURNING PROPERLY ON THE PS PULLEY. I NOTICED THE TWO UNIVERSAL JOINTS ON THE STEERING SHAFT LOOKED CORRODED SO ON A HUNCH I POURED SOME MOTOR OIL ON BOTH U-JOINTS. THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM AND GOT ME OUT OF A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED BECAUSE THEIR STEERING IS GOING TO LOCK UP DUE TO THOSE U-JOINTS AND THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO STEER OUT OF A BAD SITUATION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
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.. *TR

ENGINE
I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW. AT APPROX. 22000, I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX 50 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED A SHAKE, RATTLE AND ROLL. IN LESS THAN 1/4 MILE, THE ENGINE LOCKED BUT I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS LATE SATURDAY BUT AFTER 2-3 HOURS FOUND A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND LEFT IT THEIR BACK LOT. I WAS TOLD THE NEXT WEEK THAT FORD WANTED THE ENGINE BACK INTACT. AFTER AROUND THREE WEEKS AND $800+ FOR A RENTAL I GOT THE TRICK BACK WITH A NEW ENGINE. 2800 MILES LATER, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. MY WARRANTY WAS OUT ON TIME BUT FORD DID REPLACE THE ENGINE AGAIN BUT I WAS OUT THE RENTAL CAR--AGAIN $800+. THIS WAS SOME 6 MONTHS BACK AND ALL IS OK FOR NOW BUT I WAS TOLD IF THE ENGINE BLOWS AGAIN FORD WILL NOT COVER IT. AND ON THE 2ND REPLACEMENT (3RD TOTAL) ENGINE THAT PISTONS WERE IN THE OIL PAN. 5.4 ENGINE. *TR
