POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
MY COMPANY PURCHASED THREE FORD F-150 4X4 SUPER CREW TRUCKS AT THE SAME TIME AND ONE OF THEM HAD THE LEFT FRONT HUB BEARINGS FAIL AND THE LEFT WHEEL ASSEMBLY CAME LOOSE AND WAS CAUGHT JUST BEFORE A TOTAL FAILURE. THE SECOND TRUCK (THE ONE I DRIVE) NOW HAS A CLICKING NOISE IN THE LEFT FRONT HUB AND CARTHAGE FORD IN MISSOURI HAS ACKNOWLEDGED IT BUT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT AFTER THREE TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT FORD WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT OR COMMUNICATE IT TO THE DEALERSHIPS IN FEAR OF FINANCIAL RAMIFICATIONS OF A RECALL. BOTH OF THESE TRUCKS ARE DRIVEN ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS AND HAVE AROUND 100 MILES PER DAY PLACED ON THEM SO I THINK WE ARE AHEAD OF MASSIVE FAILURES WHEN THESE 2007 MODELS GET OVER 50,000 MILES ON THEM. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2007 FORD F150 HAS A SEVERE SAFETY FLAW. FOUR TIMES SO FAR, BETWEEN MARCH 2008 AND JULY 2008, THE VEHICLE HAS ACCELLERATED ON ITS OWN WHEN BRAKING TO STOP. THE TRUCK WILL SLOW TO ABOUT 10 MPH THEN SUDDENLY ON ITS OWN THE ENGINE REVS TO 2000 RPMS AND THE TRUCK SURGES FORWARD. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO THROW IT INTO NEUTRAL. THIS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS . TWO SEPARATE FORD DEALERS WORKED ON THIS PROBLEM BUT BOTH FOUND NOTHING WRONG EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. I E-MAILED FORD ON 7/23/2008 BUT THEY HAVE NOT YET REPLIED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AT 33K MILE MY 2007 F 150 WITH THE 5.4 LITER ENGINE HAD ENGINE FAILURE. THE ENGINE FAILED AS A RESULT OF A KNOW PROBLEM THAT FORD HAS WITH A BACK OF THE 5.4 LITER ENGINE HAVING TO MUCH END PLAY ON THE CAM SHAFT. AS A RESULT THE ENGINE WAS STARVED FOR OIL AND FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRIP. THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO 0 WHEN THE ENGINE WAS FULL OF OIL. FORD'S SUGGESTION IS TO ONLY REPLACE HEADS WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THE ENGINE WAS STARVED FOR OIL. THEY WILL NOT OFFICIALLY ADMIT TO THE PROBLEM BUT SEVERAL FORD EMPLOYEES HAVE TOLD ME FORD IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION. THE ENGINE INITIALLY LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT RE START. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. *TR

I OWN A FORD -150 SUPER CREW AND I BOUGHT IT IN MAY OF 2007. TWO MONTHS AGO I HAD A VALVE STEM BLOW OUT. I GOT IT FIXED. THIS PAST TUESDAY. I HAD ANOTHER VALVE STEM BLOW OUT. I TOOK IT TO A TIRE REPAIR SHOP AND THE OTHER TWO VALVE STEMS WE'RE DRY-ROTTED. I HAD THEM REPLACE ALL THREE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH FORD PUTTING ON OLD VALVE STEMS. THERE IS NO WAY FOUR VALVE STEMS SHOULD HAVE DRY ROTTED IN 13 MONTHS. *TR

I PURCHASED A F 150 ONE YEAR AGO. I WENT INTO A STORE ONLY TO COME OUT TO A FLAT TIRE (MINUTES LATER). I TOOK IT TO MINCZ TIRE, AND THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY VALVE STEM. THE SAME THING HAPPENED DAYS LATER. ALL OF THE VALVE STEMS ARE CRACKING AND MUST NOW BE REPLACED. LATER THAT WEEK, I SAW A TELEVISION REPORT ON FAULTY VALVE STEMS, SO I DECIDED TO REPORT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD F-150. THE VEHICLE HAS HANKOOK DYNAPRO AS TIRES, SIZE P235/70R17S. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WAS REPLACED BECAUSE IT KEPT LEAKING AIR. THREE HOURS AFTER THE TIRE WAS REPLACED, THE CONTACT HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO BE REPAIRED. THE THREE REMAINING TIRES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE SAME LEAKAGE ISSUE. THE SENSOR LIGHT FOR THE TIRES CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATES. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR. THE CONTACT INTENDS TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON MARCH 30, 2008 FOR THE FIFTH TIME CONCERNING THIS FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. UPDATED 06/17/08. *LJ IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VALVE STEM WAS BAD.

POWER TRAIN
AFTER READING SIMILAR ISSUES ON MYCARSTATS.COM, I FIGURED I SHOULD ENTER MINE TOO. ENGINE WOULD SUDDENLY RACE AT VERY HIGH RPM. MY VEHICLE IS A STANDARD SO I WAS ABLE TO NEGATE ACCELERATION BY DEPRESSING CLUTCH. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN 1 MONTH PERIOD. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY INDICATED THEY WERE GOING TO UPDATE CHIP WITH LATEST UPGRADE. WHEN I PICKED UP VEHICLE, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE HAD THE LATEST UPGRADE AND NO ACTION WAS TAKEN. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A REPEAT OF THIS SINCE THOUGH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD F-150. WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED DRAMATICALLY AND A LOUD REVVING NOISE WAS HEARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT MUST APPLY EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO COMPLETELY STOP THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE WHEELS BEGIN TO SPIN. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,146.

IN JULY 2007, I PURCHASED A NEW FORD F150 PICKUP TRUCK. IN DECEMBER 2007, 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE TRUCK ACCELERATED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I RAN A STOP SIGN, BUT LUCKILY DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK WITH NO PROBLEMS UNTIL JANUARY 2008, WHEN AGAIN 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY, I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE TRUCK ACCELERATED. AGAIN, I RAN A STOP SIGN, BUT DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. ONE TIME I PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND WATCHED THE TACHOMETER GO UP TO 4000 RPMS AS THE ENGINE REVVED. I AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ACCIDENTALLY ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FOR ANY OF THESE INCIDENCES. I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY INSTALLED A "BLACK BOX RECORDING DEVICE" AND DROVE THE TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS, BUT STILL COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I OWN A 2007 FORD F150 TRUCK. ON THREE OCCASIONS THE TRUCK ACCELERATED WHEN BRAKING TO A STOP. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AND THE SECOND TO ME. WE EACH THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A FLUKE. THE THIRD OCCURRENCE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKE TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN THE ENGINE SURGED AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. SHE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE ALREADY STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN. SHE WAS VERY UPSET. SHE WAS CITED FOR NOT STOPPING WITH ASSURED CLEAR DISTANCE. WE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THE SERVICE PEOPLE SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND GAVE US BACK THE TRUCK. WE TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE FOR EVALUATION. STILL NOTHING WAS FOUND. THE TRUCK IS CLEARLY A SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR
