Fuel System, Gasoline
Truck stuttered & stalled, would not restart. Towed ford to dealer. Failure caused by corroded, cracked fuel pump module. The module body is made of an alloy metal material, and the module is bolted directly to the steel frame near the gas tank, moisture and dis-similar metals (electrolysis) caused rapid deterioration of module body. This poor design causes the vehicle to shut down at any speed/situation, loss of…

I was traveling at approximately 55mph when the vehicle started to sputter, and as i began to slow down and tried to pull over to the side of the road before the truck quit on me. I tried to start it back up in order to get off the main road but the vehicle didn't start. I ended up having the vehicle towed to the local shop and after a diagnosis that cost $124.95 they found out that the fuel pump driver module when…

Vehicle engine suddenly shut down. The problem was the fuel control module, ford part # 9d370, aluminum casing corroded through exposing the internal circuit boards. This is a common occurrence for the 2004 through 2006 f150 and can cause a very dangerous situation if it shuts down while in traffic at highway speeds. *tr

Motor acted like it was going to start but never started beings i didn't give it enough starting fluid to start because i'm not a fan of using it. With that i eliminated the ignition had to be…

There is a fuel drive module and controls the electrical output to the fuel pump. Oem part number fl8a-9d370-aa. The module is mounted to the one of the rear frame crossbars, above the spare tire on the f150 pickups. Due to the placement and mounting salt and road debris get stuck between module and frame and cause massive eroding of the metal housing causing the module to fail. My trucks module failed at around…

On three occasions, while pumping gas into my truck, the fuel nozzle shuts off and oversprays on to the side of my truck. This has happened at 3 different gas stations. I feel that this could be a fire hazard as well as a health hazard it were to happen to an elderly person. The pump nozzle does not fit snugly into the fuel tank. I think it is because of the angle that the fuel line going into the fuel tank is…

Driving on interstate 90 in michigan truck started misfiring and about 1000 feet later the engine quit altogether.

I had an injector stick open on my 2006 f150 and it caused the engine to hydrolock and seized up the engine. My complaint is that the 2005 f150 had an extension on the warranty due to this problem. I heard that some of the early 2006's (which were made it 2005) has also had theses problems but ford did not extend the warranty on the 2006. *tr

On filling up with gas at a station, the front end of the gas tank fell down and hit the ground. The front strap that holds the tank rusted out and broke. The truck is 38 months old with 28000 miles on the odometer. No visible rust is showing on the pick up bed and the automobile has never driven on winter roads. I bought the truck new. A definite safety issue is involved. If the truck was moving when this happened,…

Ford f-150 2006 with 5.4 l leaks fuel out of the top of the fuel tank when filling, the fuel stations pump does not shut off when the tank is full causing gasoline to be spilled on the ground. This started and then the fuel gauge stopped working so i have no idea how much fuel to pump before this happens at every fill-up. The dealer has replaced the fuel filler tube and has ordered a new fuel gauge but for two weeks…

Fuel economy is not in accordance with standards on the 4.6l f150. I have checked and checked it time and time again. I am supposed to actually get better gas mileage on the highway. Around town and on the highway, since the purchase of my truck in 2006 it has been getting 13 mpg. I just recently placed a k&n filter on it in order to help with the mileage. I am now getting 15mpg highway and around town. Before the…

The engine stalled and a mechanic later determined that a substantial amount of water was found in the gas tank. Prior to the stall the truck had been kept in a location where it would be impossible for someone to put water into the tank. When i explained this to the ford dealership mechanic, he indicated that he personally had seen other cases where water had mysteriously appeared in a ford f150 gas tank which…
