2007 Ford F-150 fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 54 of 54, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Fuel pump control module failure resulting in engine stalling causing loss of power and control to steering and braking functions at high speed and in heavy traffic. The fuel pump control module on the truck failed at intermittent and erratic intervals, causing immediate shut off of fuel to the engine. Control functions, particularly power steering were compromised and accidents were barely avoided. The engine would eventually restart- up to the point that the module failed completely. The first fuel pump control module was replaced around 14000 miles in 2010. The second was just replaced at 24446 miles. The cost to replace the fuel pump control module is approximately $500.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford f150. The contact stated that the vehicle emitted a gasoline fuel odor. The contact inspected the vehicle and found that the top of the fuel tank was separated from the bottom lining due to defective welding. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number: 07v278000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 119,000.
Took to dealer for check engine lite. They found fpcm ready to crack in half. Told me I was lucky the truck made it to the shop. Excessive corrosion between frame and module result of a very poor design. Not covered by warranty. Should be a recall. They claim their replacing 2 to 3 a week. This dealer didn't even put upgrade spacer bolts on. Here I thought they were helping me!
While driving truck it shut off suddenly without and warning, driver fuel pump control module. This unit is located in an area that is highly corrosive and has no protection against the elements. When this part failed I was driving in a parking lot at a low speed however I was told it can happen any time at all. Once this part goes the vehicle is totally inop. I had to have the truck towed in to the dealer and the part replaced at a cost of $356.00 labor $125.00 parts. I was also told I was lucky it took this long and had better plan on doing it again in the near future as it is a common issue with all ford trucks. Ford redesigned the part but the service manager told me it will happen again as it is only nickel coated and offers no protection from the elements.
Bought the truck new. Has 4 winters on it. Cost me $421.12 to fix at a ford dealer, plus another $54.00 to have towed to dealer. Bad placement or design of placement. 118,000 miles I expect to start replacing parts, but not this. Why should people who live in cold climates be penalized.
I went online and found a lot of problems with the fuel control module on ford f150. My concern is I broke down on the freeway because of control module failure. On a 2007 model. Little scary on the freeway. I think some one should look in to maybe a recall on this part. So no one else will experience the scary brake down I had on the freeway [I-75].
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford f-150. The contact stated that while the engine was running, the contact smelled fuel inside the vehicle. Upon further inspection, a fuel leak was discovered. The contact then called a towing service and the towing company called the fire department. The fire department approved of the vehicle being towed to a local repair facility. The mechanic noticed two holes in the fuel line and the fuel line was replaced. After the repairs, the contact had no further issues. The contact stated the fuel line should have been covered or made with sheet metal because an animal was able to chew through the fuel lines, causing a leak. The failure mileage was 18,200.
Driving along, heard a bang, smelled very strong smell of fuel, truck started backfiring and vibrating so much it was hard to control, forward motion slowed rapidly, vibration, attempted to pull the truck over across 4 lane of traffic, opened windows as the smell of fuel was choking everyone in the cab. Stopped truck, engine running very rough and had strange noise, unable to locate. Eventually found right rear most spark plug blew out of head (leaving metal threaded part and base in head), contacted dealer "big ford, vancouver, wa" and "courtesy ford, portland, oregon" both claim the "flex fuel engines have a common problem with the spark plugs separating, sticking in the head, and/or exploding out of the head" the also stated the ford was aware of the problem but no recall was taking place as there were not enough complaints as of yet (the truck engine is damaged, still smells like fuel inside the cab, plugs, coil, and injector have been changed, dealer would not honer "bumper to bumper warranty" this issue will eventually cause a great number of deaths and or injuries and the fuel issue could likely cause an explosion (even in my vehicle after the repairs)(dealers wanted between $2,000.00 and $6,000.00 to extract the spark plug bases and stated repeatedly it was a common issue and it was "not covered under warrently"
This event has occurred twice in the last 3 months. The vehicle is a 2007 ford f150 stx model with the 4.6l v8. In the last 3 months twice the #3 cylinder has blown a coil pack. The first time all I had to do was replace the coil pack. This most recent time it actually blew the spark plug out of the cylinder head. I again had to replace the coil pack but this time I had to buy a kit to repair the stripped head. The vehicle shut off and would not restart. I was able to get the vehicle to the side of the highway with out incident. I was driving on a main high way but luckily I was in the far right hand lane. Had I not been I don't know if I would have been able to guide the vehicle to safety as it had no power.

I have a 2007 ford f150 it has 14,454 miles. I purchased it brand new. My first experience of having the truck accelerate unexpectedly was about a year ago. Both myself and my sister was in the truck at the time. I started the engine and had my foot on the brake and shifted it in to drive when it accelerated forward for no reason. I did not think much about it until it happened again about 3 months ago. I was parked on the side of my house and started to make a u-turn when the truck again acelerated with my foot on the brake and almost crashing into my neighbors garage. Since we don't drive the truck very often I did not take it in to the dealer to have it checked. On april 12th of 2009 my son was pulling into a parking space and decide he was not straight, so he backed up and when he put the vehicle into drive with his foot on the brake it accelerated forward into a back of a building. We had 2 witness, saying that his foot was on the brake at the time of the accident. No one was hurt, only damage to the building and the truck. I have now notified the repair shop and going to file a complaint with ford. It appears this has happen many times with the same vehicle as well as other vehicles.
I filled the truck up with gas and it is still showing empty?. 4 times the truck has "revved" without touching the pedal(in or out of gear)?.
