Starter issues?

has anyone had any issues with their starters. my 07 only has 10000 miles on it but sometimes when i try to start it it feels like it has no power and can barely turn the motor over. its a 5.4. Should i get it replaced under warranty?

Sounds to me like its a battery conection or less likely the battery is failing that would be covered as well. I'd just take it in. Your under warante

This is the 2nd 07 I have heard of this problem...

A new battery should fix the problem, although, your alternator needs to be checked as well. Maybe it isn't charging the battery enough.

Do you recall, if it is just upon first start (morning), or, does it do it with every start?

Since I installed an Optima Red Top my starter turns the engine over so much better & powerfully!.............
