Engine was running rough on the freeway. When i exited, the engine stopped running. I had to have it towed to the garage. The mechanic diagnosed the problem as the fuel pump driver control unit. He said it is a common problem with the f150 trucks. My opinion is this is a safety problem and the driver module was damaged due to corrosion.

Plastic timing guides are ripped from mounting location by timing chains and drop into the oil system, usually causing loss of oil pressure, contaminated oil, trash-filled motor, and accelerated wear of the timing chains, resulting in engine damage. Usually the guides break off at or before 100,000 miles and the chains need replacing between 120,000 and 200,000 miles, depending on how the truck is driven. Metal…

On sunday 12/14/14 at 7pm my 2008 ford f-150 shut off when i was going 65 mph down the new york state thruway. I was stuck on the side of the road for hours waiting for it to be towed.

Vehicle had intermittent starting issue and has left me stranded. After running a diagnostic check with a scanner received a p1233 code which is the fuel pump driver module offline. Component located underneath bolted to the frame.called and emailed spitzer ford,local dealer, and they're unsure or acted like the never heard of the problem. Why is it that ford north america is short handed of the fpdm?

Twice in the last two months my truck has suddenly accelerated when i pressed the brake pedal to stop. The first time i thought i had accidentally hit the accelerator at the same time as the brake; but it happened again and it was clearly a surge without touching the gas pedal. Both times were at low speeds and i was able to stop by pushing hard on the brake pedal. However, the engine was surging against the brakes.…

Thankfully i was headed towards the sidewalk and not to incoming traffic or i would have easily been in an accident. The engine light came on and when i checked it, it came up as the fuel level sensor. So i took the gas tank down and…
