FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE FAILURE RESULTING IN ENGINE STALLING CAUSING LOSS OF POWER AND CONTROL TO STEERING AND BRAKING FUNCTIONS AT HIGH SPEED AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE ON THE TRUCK FAILED AT INTERMITTENT AND ERRATIC INTERVALS, CAUSING IMMEDIATE SHUT OFF OF FUEL TO THE ENGINE. CONTROL FUNCTIONS, PARTICULARLY POWER STEERING WERE COMPROMISED AND ACCIDENTS WERE BARELY AVOIDED. THE ENGINE WOULD EVENTUALLY RESTART- UP TO THE POINT THAT THE MODULE FAILED COMPLETELY. THE FIRST FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED AROUND 14000 MILES IN 2010. THE SECOND WAS JUST REPLACED AT 24446 MILES. THE COST TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE IS APPROXIMATELY $500.

TOOK TO DEALER FOR CHECK ENGINE LITE. THEY FOUND FPCM READY TO CRACK IN HALF. TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY THE TRUCK MADE IT TO THE SHOP. EXCESSIVE CORROSION BETWEEN FRAME AND MODULE RESULT OF A VERY POOR DESIGN. NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. SHOULD BE A RECALL. THEY CLAIM THEIR REPLACING 2 TO 3 A WEEK. THIS DEALER DIDN'T EVEN PUT UPGRADE SPACER BOLTS ON. HERE I THOUGHT THEY WERE HELPING ME! *JS

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE SHAKES AT LOW SPEED VIOLENTLY. DID RESEARCH ON THE WEB THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD TRUCKS. STORIES OF GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THE DEALER FOR SHAKING NEW TRUCK TO EXPENSIVE REPAIRS THAT DIDN'T REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I'M A FAMILY MAN WITH 6 KIDS AND LIMITED MEANS WHICH MEANS I WILL ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS MYSELF BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD A PRO-TECH TO TELL ME THE SHAKING IS NORMAL FOR FORD TRUCKS AS IN THE STORIES POSTED ALL OVER WEB DATING BACK SEVERAL YEARS. I'M STILL PAYING FOR MY TRUCK FOR ABOUT ANOTHER YEAR $647.00 A MONTH BOUGHT IT NEW IN 07 ZERO DOWN WHICH IT SEEMS THAT I WILL END UP WITH ZERO. WIFE AND KIDS CAN'T RIDE IN THE TRUCK UNTIL I FIX IT BECAUSE SHE HAS DONE SOMETHING IN ONE DAY THAT IT SEEMS IS TAKING YOU GUYS SEVERAL YEARS TO DO. SHE DEEMED OUR FAMILY CAR UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS. OH WELL I SUPPOSE THERE MIGHT BE A CERTAIN AMOUNT A PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO DIE FIRST BEFORE THIS AGENCY ACTS. I REMEMBER THE ROLL OVER TIRE THING. LETS HOPE I'M NOT ONE OF THEM BECAUSE THAT WOULD LEAVE MY WIFE ON THE HOOK FOR REST OF THE TRUCK PAYMENTS SHE'S A GREAT STAY AT HOME MOTHER BUT THAT'S NOT GONNA PAY OFF THIS TRUCK MC SHAKY. I BET THAT LAST PART MADE YOU SMILE.WISH ME LUCK AND DO YOUR JOB. I GOTTA GO TRY TO DO MINE. *TR

ENGINE
VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN A PARKING SPOT AT A POST OFFICE. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND DID NOT GIVE IT ANY GAS AND THE ENGINE REVVED TO 6000 RPM'S. NOT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED, I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT DID THE SAME THING BUT STARTED TO COME DOWN IN THE RPM'S BUT I STILL TURNED ENGINE OFF. I STARTED IT A THIRD TIME AND IT REVVED AGAIN BUT CAME BACK TO NORMAL RPM'S. ALL THIS WITHOUT GIVING IT ANY GAS. IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY OTHER F-150 THAT IS A 2005 WHICH I WILL ALSO FILE A DETAILED REPORT ON FOLLOWING THIS REPORT. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLEBODY AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID OTHER FORDS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT FORD HAS NOT DONE A RECALL AND HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS PROBLEM. AS YOU WILL SEE IN MY REPORT ON MY 2005, IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FATALITY DUE TO THIS ISSUE. LOOKING AT BLOGS IN THE INTERNET, OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE 2005 APPROACHING A STOP SIGN ENTERING INTO A VERY BUSY STREET AND THE ENGINE REVVED AND PULLED THE VEHICLE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEFORE MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO DEPRESS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE SAME ISSUE ACCORDING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WAS THE THROTTLEBODY. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING AT A 15 MPH (1000 RPMS) TRUCK WOULD KNOCK AND TRY TO STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND ALMOST CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WOULD HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO KEPT IT FROM STALLING OR PUT INTO NEUTRAL AND PRESS THE GAS TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING. TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP ON 4/24/2007 AND THEY SAID THAT THE CAM PHASERS WERE THE PROBLEM OF MY ENGINE TRYING TO STALL. AS I DID MY RESEARCH ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE 5.4L 3 VALVE ENGINES FROM FORD. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I READ AN ARTICLE IN THE NEWSPAPER ABOUT AN INVESTIGATION YOU ARE DOING ON FORD TAURUS AND SABLE VEHICLES IN THE 2001 TO 2006 MODEL YEARS FOR ACCELERATING ON THEIR OWN. I PURCHASED MY TRUCK IN FEBRUARY OF 2009 USED AND, IN THE THREE YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT, IT HAS DONE THE SAME THING ON FOUR SEPERATE OCCASIONS. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY THE LOCAL FORD DEALER IN MY HOME TOWN AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. NOTHING SHOWED UP ON THEIR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS UNHOOKING MY TRAVEL TRAILER AND PUT IT IN DRIVE TO PULL AWAY AND IT SURGED FORWARD IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS IN A CROWDED PARKING LOT AND IT SURGED FORWARD WHILE I WAS TRYING TO PARK. THE THIRD TIME, I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. THE FOURTH TIME, I WAS PULLING INTO AN AUTOMATED CAR WASH AND NEARLY RAN PAST THE ATTENDANTS AND NEARLY CRASHED INTO THE EQUIPMENT. EACH TIME I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. IT REVS UP SO MUCH THAT I CAN'T HOLD IT WITH THE BRAKE. I THINK THIS SOUNDS LIKE WHAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATING ON THE OTHER VEHICLES AND IT MAY BE HAPPENING IN A WIDER RANGE OF FORD VEHICLES. I WOULD LOVE NOT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN NEXT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE DRIVING TRUCK IT SHUT OFF SUDDENLY WITHOUT AND WARNING, DRIVER FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. THIS UNIT IS LOCATED IN AN AREA THAT IS HIGHLY CORROSIVE AND HAS NO PROTECTION AGAINST THE ELEMENTS. WHEN THIS PART FAILED I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AT A LOW SPEED HOWEVER I WAS TOLD IT CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME AT ALL. ONCE THIS PART GOES THE VEHICLE IS TOTALLY INOP. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED IN TO THE DEALER AND THE PART REPLACED AT A COST OF $356.00 LABOR $125.00 PARTS. I WAS ALSO TOLD I WAS LUCKY IT TOOK THIS LONG AND HAD BETTER PLAN ON DOING IT AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE AS IT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH ALL FORD TRUCKS. FORD REDESIGNED THE PART BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AS IT IS ONLY NICKEL COATED AND OFFERS NO PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS. *TR

BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW. HAS 4 WINTERS ON IT. COST ME $421.12 TO FIX AT A FORD DEALER, PLUS ANOTHER $54.00 TO HAVE TOWED TO DEALER. BAD PLACEMENT OR DESIGN OF PLACEMENT. 118,000 MILES I EXPECT TO START REPLACING PARTS, BUT NOT THIS. WHY SHOULD PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN COLD CLIMATES BE PENALIZED. *TR
