PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD. I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET AS HARD AS I COULD, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE FRONT TIRES LOCKED, LEAVING SKID MARKS ON THE CONCRETE. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT WALL OF THE GARAGE, BREAKING THE WALL, BEFORE STOPPING. MY WIFE WAS STANDING IN THE GARAGE AT THE TIME AND WITNESSED THE EVENT. *TR

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. *TR

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

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
