Truck started stalling in traffic & intersections. Had to continue to restart. Finally made it home. Then took it in for repair. Remove & replace fuel pump control module (part was severely corroded) technician was surprised that the truck even ran.

I was pulling out into traffic when the engine wouldn't respond. Luckily it wasn't on a highway the on coming traffic had enough time to avoid me. There was no warning i thought the truck had died and went to restart but the engine was idling. I then put the truck into low transfer and was able to move to a safe place by idling until a tow truck could remove it. *tr

My fuel pump module shorted out. It had become corroded. There was a melting of plastic parts in the module. I could smell the plastic burning before the unit failed. The truck was running fine and then suddenly died when the module failed. Fortunately, i was driving through a small town when this happened. If it would have happened on the highway it could have been a very dangerous situation. I feel ford should be…

My 2005 f-150 truck stalled right in front of my house just outside of my driveway, my neighbor and i had to push it in as to not block my street. Luckily it didn't die out on the highway which i was on five minutes before it died out. I was thinking the fuel pump went, but with only 68,000 miles that would not be very good. After some research on the net this little part named fuel pump drive module gets my…

I bought my ford f-150/v/8 in 2005. Since 2005 i have had problems with the fuel injectors to date (03/20/2011). I have spent close to $4,000.00 for problems resulting from the fuel injectors. Although ford sent out a letter dated december 2007, referencing and acknowledging problems with the injectors sticking open/close. It has been a nightmare at the service departments. Again although, ford extended the warranty…

Check engine light came on with code p0442 indicating evap emission control system small leak. Mechanic performed smoke test and found severed fuel line on top of the fuel tank. It appears the line was faulty in that it was relatively protected on top of the fuel tank. Also, this line is directly adjacent to the muffler which is a potential fire hazard. *tr

While at ~45mph, i eased off the accelerator to go into a left hand turn. My f150 then lost all power and shut off (no power steering, etc), and there were 2 tracker trailers coming in the opposite direction from me. I was barely able to complete the turn with the momentum that i had before the truck died. The truck re-started without any issue. This had happened before 2 other times with large gaps of time in…
