Within that volume, owners reported 2 crashes, 1 fire, 4 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.

Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2007 F-350 is steering with 8 filings, followed by suspension (8) and suspension:front (4). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 3 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.

NHTSA currently has 177 investigation files overlapping the 2007 F-350, and 8 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

GT Radial Adventuro AT3, 275/70R-18 Load Range E The tire exploded at 65mph while pulling a trailer. I still have what is left of it. The debris flying off the vehicle into traffic and the need to pull completely off the road. The sharp reduction of speed in traffic on a 4 lane divided highway. The tire has not been inspected by any official or company. I had purchased hazard insurance from Walmart when I bought the tires. They refused to honor the coverage due to the tire having no tread. The 2nd tire, purchased at the same time, was on the drivers side, but they refused to consider the tread remaining on that tire as an example of the blowouts previous tread. I have an active TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) on the truck and no alarms went off prior to the explosion. It did alarm after the explosion. It is also mounted, where I as the driver, can monitor it. The blowout severely damaged my truck. My insurance indicates they will cover the cost of repairs after my deductible, b

Engine is the 2.7 Ecoboost and is becoming louder and louder with many ticks and sounds whether you are driving or idling the vehicle at a stop light. Every morning the engine ticks and revs very high and emits huge billowing white smoke from the exhaust whether it’s warm or cold outside. Believe the engine is needing to be replaced in the upcoming recall from ford for the exact engine.

6.0 LITER DIESEL ENGINE NEEDS OIL COOLER & EGR COOLER REPLACED EVERY 100,000 MILES ACCORDING TO FORD MECHANICS. MY ENGINE HAD THIS PROBLEM AT 98,000 MILES. THE COOLER IS UNDERNEATH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD MAKING REPAIRS VERY EXPENSIVE. THE MECHANICS TELL ME TO WATCH FOR SMOKE, LESS POWER, ETC. AND TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALL A TOW TRUCK WHEN I EXPERIENCE THOSE PROBLEMS OR I COULD DESTROY THE ENGINE. THEY SAID MY ENGINE OIL IS RUNNING MUCH HOTTER THAN MY ENGINE COOLANT WHICH COULD CAUSE OIL SEALS TO BEGIN LEAKING. THERE IS NO WAY TO VERIFY THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE A OIL TEMPERATURE GAUGE IN MY TRUCK JUST A OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. FORD NEEDS TO STOP SELLING THIS ENGINE OR REPAIR THE PROBLEM.
