| The front brake rotors warped for the second time. the first time was at approximately 49k miles. thirty-three thousand miles later they are warped again. the first time they had to be completely replaced. they were warped too bad to machine them. this time, the right front rotor had to be turned four times by the dealership to get the warping out. the others only one turn. there seems to be a design flaw in the braking system for multiple years of ford f-150 trucks. the system was completely redesigned for model year 2009 and the problem seems to be gone. unfortunately, i believe the design is also connected with the brake pedal and accelerator pedal problem reported also to the nhtsa for this year (2007) model f-150. unfortunately, because it is classified as a braking problem, the warranties (factory and extended) do not cover the expense of machining or replacing the rotors. this can be several hundred dollars expense to the vehicle owner when it appears to be a design problem that should be handled by the factory thru a recall. fortunately, my dealership has worked with me so far to help handle the expense. for customer satisfaction reasons, they did not charge me this last time as they realize rotors, under normal driving, should not have to be replaced or machined within 30k miles, especially when there is hardly any brake pad wear. *tr | |||

| I returned my ford f-150 to the dealership for the third time to correct the problem with the brake pedal traveling past the accelerator pedal during normal braking. ford is not recognizing the problem and the dealership sales manager acknowledges he has replicated the problem intermittently; however, because ford refuses to acknowledge the problem there is nothing they can do. i have seen this problem reported in other cases on the nhtsa website, and i believe it is time for nhtsa to investigate before deaths are reported from braking/accelerating through stop signs/lights and hitting or being hit by someone. i believe the problem is somehow also related to the front brake rotors warping within a short period of time (20k - 30k miles). *tr | |||

| After replacing the front brake rotors and brake pads during 8/07/10 - 8/10/10 to try and alleviate a problem with the brake pedal traveling past the accelerator when braking (normal braking), i had to return to the dealership with the same problem. it is a safety issue as i cannot allow anyone else to drive the truck who is not familiar with the problem. the dealership kept the vehicle from 8/11/10 through 8/25/10 with the service manager driving it every day to and from work to see if the problem could be replicated. the service manager said he noticed the same problem with the brake pedal going past the accelerator with normal braking; however, did not happen everytime. i agreed with that. after the service manager called the factory representative to discuss the problem, the factory representative said there is not a known problem and the braking system was within specifications. i was told by my dealership that ford does not recognize the problem and they could not resolve the issue for me. it appears to be a design problem, as i drove several 2007 and 2008 f-150's that the dealership had on the lot. each one of them had the problem i noted above. the 2009 f-150 does not have the braking problem i found out when i test drove one. the service manager at my dealership told me that the entire braking system was re-designed for the 2009 model year. *tr | |||

| When applying the brake, the pedal travels below the accelerator causing the foot to press on the brake and accelerator at the same time. on multiple occasions, i have run through stop lights/signs trying to come to a stop, and on occasion have almost hit other vehicles. another time, i was behind the truck guiding someone in the truck while backing up. not being familiar with the truck, when the brake pedal travelled pase the accelerator, his foot caused both to be depressed at the same time almost running over me before jumping out of the way just in time. this continues to happen and related to the problem i believe is the front rotors keep warping. the rotors were replaced at this incident time because the ford dealership thought that might be the issue. it did not correct the issue and they only charged my half-price. *tr | |||

| 2007 ford f150 has a problem with the placement of its gas and brake pedal. when braking you accidentally hit both pedals which causes you to accelerate. i just purchased this truck and noticed this issue. my brother also noticed this. if i lend my truck out i make sure i inform the person about this problem. when searching the web many other sites are addressing this safety issue of acceleration when braking. i wonder what your agency is doing regarding this safety problem? the public is aware of it so much so they are posting about it. ford knows about this, customers have complained. so when is your agency going to acknowledge and address this safety issue? *tr | |||

| Ford 2007 f-150, 33 miles new off lot. (vehicle does not appear in web pages vehicle information section. f-250 and f-350 are listed not the f-150) rear emergency brake pads completely distorted after 25 mile first drive. told from dealer it appeared to be a brake pad defect. this break pad failure had the possibility of locking up rear axle while in motion causing serious possibility of accident! break pads and parts are not in stock... is this because of other multiple failures? *jb | |||

| 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 gas pedal simultaneously. both are in close proximity of each other, which provides for this opportunity. i'd suggest a design change, toward ford, separating the two pedals slightly in a better attempt to avoid this from happening. i'm sorry for the form submission, but it was in an attempt to correct a something i'd thought was a real issue. thank you for your time. | |||
