Known Issues
Air Suspension Components:
While later models had air suspension, the 2007 typically uses air springs in the rear for load leveling, which can eventually degrade or leak.
Coil Spring Issues:
Rear air springs (if equipped) can leak over time, leading to a sagging rear end. Front coil springs can also fatigue.
Ignition Coils:
The 4.6L V8 can be prone to ignition coil failures, leading to misfires and rough running.
Power Steering Pump:
Wear can lead to whining noises and potential leaks.
ABS Wheel Speed Sensors:
Can fail, causing ABS and Traction Control warning lights to illuminate.
