2007 FORD F-150 — Complaint #1048219
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:HYDRAULIC:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS filed March 20, 2014
NHTSA complaint #1048219 (ODI reference 10573862) concerns a 2007 FORD F-150 and was filed on March 20, 2014. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 20, 2014. The vehicle had 107,690 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Pennsylvania based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:hydraulic:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD F-150 cohort independently describe similar service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:hydraulic:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2007 FORD F-150 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
WHEN I STARTED MY ENGINE IT BACKFIRED. FROM THAT POINT ON I HAD TO PRESS EXTREMELY HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL JUST TO SLOW DOWN AND EVENTUALLY TO STOP. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION IT WOULD WITHOUT A DOUBT HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE INCIDENT IS EXACTLY AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V208000 (FORD RECALL #08S05) FOR THE SAME VEHICLE, EXCEPT MODEL YEAR 2005 AND 2006. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN AUGUST OF 2006, BUT THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. *TR
