Water leaking from intake manifold coolant crossover line. Crossover is an aluminum pipe that connects to the plastic intake manifold. When manifold started leaking coolant, 1 & 2 spark plug holes filled with water causing spark plugs to short out and stall the engine at low speed. Per Ford the only repair is replacement of the complete intake manifold at a cost of over $1200. This is a common problem with this engine. I have seen many complaints on F-150 forums via the internet of people having the same problem. My truck has only 105000 miles on it.

2007 F150 purchased new. In the spring of 2010 I started noticing the paint bubble on the leading edge of the hood. Subsequently the paint has started to fall off. There are no prior maintenance activities which would have caused this (e.g. re-paint / accident damage). The remainder of the paint is showroom quality, it appears to be limited to the hood area.

The contact owns a 2007 Ford F-150. While driving 10 mph, the vehicle accelerated to approximately 15 mph without warning when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact felt that the failure was caused by unintentionally depressing the brake and accelerator pedals simultaneously. He also felt that the manufacturer designed the brake pedal too close to the accelerator pedal and that the accelerator pedal was mounted too high. The failure occurred on two other occasions. The dealer stated that the shoes he wore caused the failures. As of November 21, 2007, the dealer had not repaired the vehicle. The failure mileage was 500 and current mileage was 1,700. *updated 12/12/2007 the consumer stated experienced an unintended acceleration for the 4th time. Updated 12/12/07
