2007 Ford F-150 fuel/propulsion system problems

“TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE GOING THROUGH RADIATOR FAILED CAUSING COOLANT TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. RESULTING IN TRANSMISSION FAILURE. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE ENTIRELY REBUILT AND RADIATOR ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEED.”

“WHEN IDLE IT HAS A ROUGH SOUND CHANGED FADERS AND SENORS STILL SAME...IT HAS A SO TRYING GAS SMELL AROUND IT AND WHEN DRIVING IT IT MAY SHUT OFF AND ALSO IT DRIVES LIKE IT NEEDS A TUNE UP BUT HAS RECENTLY HAD ONE....THE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY IS ALSO ACTING UP”

“EVERY VEHICLE THAT FORD PUT OUT WITH A CAM PHASER IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE CAN PHASER. ANY SAE CERTIFIED MECHANIC WILL VERIFY THIS. THIS IS A HORRIBLE DESIGN. WHY HASN'T FORD STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND FIXED THIS ISSUE? I BELIEVE THEY ARE TRYING TO BURY IT SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO INCUR THE COST OF FIXING THEIR MISTAKE. DUE TO THIS ISSUE I'VE BEEN STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK LOOSES POWER, WON'T GO INTO GEAR....ETC....THIS HAPPENS AFTER THE CAN PHASER HAS ACTIVATED AND THEN I COME TO A STOP. THEN IT'S MISFIRING STALLING NOT GOING INTO GEAR...YOU NAME IT IT'S AN ISSUE. A COMPUTE READ ON THE OBD2 STAYED THAT I HAD MISSES IN IGNITION COILS 1,3 AND 7 REPLACED THEM THEN THE TEACHING STAYED MISFIRED IS 2,4 AND 5 REPLACED THEM AND ALL THE SAME ISSUES... EVERY MECHANIC I'VE SPOKEN TO SAYS ABSOLUTEY THE PHASES AND THAT THEY HAVE TO PUT A CAM PHASER DELETE KIT IN THESE VEHICLES DO GET RID OF THESE PROBLEMS. WHY HASN'T FORD BEEN HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH A TERRIBLE DESIGN?”

“THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE, WHICH IS LOCATED EXTERNAL TO TANK MOUNTED ON FRAME, FAILED BECAUSE IT CORRODED THRU TO THE INSIDE OF UNIT. AT THE TIME OF FAILURE CAR WAS PARKED, BUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF ON HIGHWAY AND FUEL PUMP STOPPED WORKING? FORD WOULD NOT REPLACE THE PART EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS REDESIGNED WITH STAND-OFFS TO PREVENT DISSIMILAR METAL REACTION.”
