Went to have truck tuned up--mechanic would not even touch spark plugs because they break off and the entire head has to be removed for repair. Told us tune up would be very expensive and if they broke it would be even high. From what i was told if spark plug is bad it can result in failure of catalytic convert and result in a car fire. Will it take a death before ford does a recall how do consumers maintain a…

I was driving down the highway and as i was making a right hand turn my motor turned off. I had no steering and little brakes to get me off the road. I took the truck to my mechanic and he told me the fuel module was cracked. This is common on f150's and i feel ford should have a recall on this before someone gets hurt. Thanks *tr

Engine makes a knocking noise. I was told by a ford dealer that they can't repair it because ford doesn't know what is wrong with the engine. I was told by ford dealer to drive it till it quits. The engine could lock up at any time, possibly on the highway which could cause an accident to occur. I called ford customer service and was told there was nothing they can do. *tr

Changed the sparkplugs on our 2007 ford f-150, and sparkplug broke off in the head, had to buy a special tool to remove it. This is a major problem with these trucks and are causing serious damage to other vehicles. How can ford and motorcraft get away with a poor design while consumers have to suffer and foot the bill for their mistakes. This needs to be a recall. *kb

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 idle on the vehicle is up to 2000 rpm, it is unsafe when the idle does not return to the factory specification. The dealer worked on it and said it would get better and gave me a tsb 619400 / 19508. 2007 vehicles- gas engine vehicles with higher than normal idle speeds. This is unsafe............ *jb
