2007 Ford F-150: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Sep 8, 2016 · Steering, Wheels · 43,000 miles · IL

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.

In april 2015 I began experiencing engine knocking on my 2007 ford f-150 which had 57,532 miles on it. I took it to ford service department and ended up spending $3,080.79 to replace camshaft, solenoid, and timing chains. I was told this work was guaranteed. Now, less than 7 months later at 61,452 miles I began hearing squeaking as I drive. Took it back to ford and they tell me it is now the harmonic balancer is out and excessive crank shaft end play. I am told that the issue is not related to the prior repair work so I will have to spend another $3,000 or more to fix this issue. This is all after I spent over $300 in december 2014 to replace the ingnition coils. I drive mostly city driving. We picked up vehicle without repairing it this time so we could figure out what to do.

I have a 2007 f150 supercrew cab truck. I was driving down a parking lot when the truck made a huge grinding sound from the transmission. I then received a transmission malfunction warning light. The truck slammed into a stop causing driver and passenger to be tossed forward. I have read online of several others having the same problems with the 2007 f150 transmissions. Ford claims no defects on this model year. Yet on the internet there are several ford owners with same transmission issues with truck. Ford needs to recall this transmission asap before someone gets hurt bad. I am the original owner with no accidents with truck. Truck is low mileage.

On 4-29,2010 I was driving at about 25 MPH with my foot on the gas pedal when without warning, the engine revved up and the truck accelerated on its own. Taking my foot off of the gas, I put the brake on, the truck continued to accelerate and was lurching, the tire were squealing, but I was not slowing down, I was going about 60 MPH by now, the engine was still accelerating, I turned the ignition off, and was coming to a stop slowing, there was an intersection with cross traffic in front of me.. I was still moving.. So I jammed it into park to stop.. I restarted it in a few seconds thinking I could move it out of traffic, but when I stared it the engine was still racing. I had the car towed to theadore robbins ford in costa mesa ca. They had the truck 2 days and were unable to recreate the situation, fixed nothing and returned the truck to me. The truck is a 2007 f 150 with 26,072 miles on it.

I have a ford f-150 4x4 super crew that is making a roaring/grinding sound from the front end. It only does this occasionally. Prior to stopping the sound will stop and the transfer case will make an engaging sound as though the four wheel drive is attempting to engage. I took it to the local dealership and they could not make the problem reoccur. I have a friend with an '04 f-150 4x4 and his is doing the same thing.
