While driving on the highway the engine shut off. Upon inspection, fuse #27 burned out instead of blowing. This fuse controls the fuel pump, and when it burned up the fuel pump lost power at highway speed. Upon research it is a very common problem with the 2009-2014 year models and ford issued a tsb but not a recall. I hadn't known about this when purchasing the truck used, and it is a very serious safety issue.

The fpdm was going bad. The truck would shut off in the middle of driving. Twice it died while turning and i couldn't steer. Once almost had me in the back of a parked car. This cost me over 300 dollars to fix. It's only going bacd because the are mounted to the steel gram and the aluminum backing on the fpdm is pitting and water is getting in. This problem also made it difficult to start, and messed with my mpg.

11/29/18 will be the 6th time my engine shut off when coming to a stop and making a turn. Other 5 incidents were about 3 years ago. Each occasion, slowing down to a stop, engine shuts off while making a turn, and i put it in neutral while pressing brakes, starts up, and i keep going down the road. 122k miles, love the truck but this has me very concerned for my family riding in the truck. I looked up any recalls but…

Ive had the same problem now twice in a row with the fuel pump 20a fuel in the fuse box under the hood getting hot and melting then blowing the fuse. This fuse if it hadn't blown would have caught the fuse box on fire. Ford makes a kit to bypass the tiny fuse to relicate it to a larger fuse in an open spot. There are multiple others in numerous forums who state they have had the same problem. Ford has never issued a…

Ford f-150 will not start intermittently. The engine cranks but will not start. The issue has been identified with fuse #27 over heating but not blowing. Fuse #27 is the fuse for the fuel pump diver module. The engine has not died on me while in motion though there are multiple other instances of individuals who have had their vehicle die on them.

My truck cranks but won't start. The fuse to the fuel pump relay was blown. I understand this is a problem with many truck owners and ford is offering a bypass kit for this system for $400-$500. Shouldn't this be a recall if they're having to install a bypass kit?

After refueling vehicle will be hard to start, after repeated attempts and using gas pedal to force an idle it will start, problem only occurs again after refueling. This is coupled with sudden engine cut off at low speeds. Dealer is clueless as to a fix for either. I consider the sudden shut off to be a major safety issue, particularly driving in mountains as i do.

When truck has 1/4 or less fuel in the fuel tank it stalls and there is lost power. Mostly happens when coming to a stop and when i make a turn after taking my foot from accelerator to brake . This is dangerous because all braking and steering is lost .while looking on the web there were many complaints about this .

Fuel pump relay fuse melted. 2010 f-150 2 wd v8, was driving and pulling a trailer (within the vehicle's parameters weight wise, i.e. Not overloaded, and in fact it continued with the empty trailer) and the truck began stalling randomly, usually when going up a hill. This is very dangerous as i was hauling valuable horses up hilly roads at the time. I had it repaired at a local dealership (crain ford, little rock,…

My son was driving the truck with my older son also in the cab. My son that was driving noticed that the truck was losing speed and that nothing was happening when he pushed on the accelerator. He put the truck in park and smoke began filling the cab. They got out of the truck in a hurry and ran. The truck exploded 3 seconds later and burned completely. We are not certain what caused the fire, but it appears to be…

Our 2010 ford f-150 platinum truck caught fire while my husband was driving he had to jump out of the car to survive. It looks like the gas tank caught on fire and the entire truck was engulfed in flames and completely burned up in a few seconds. I have pictures of the burned out truck and a video of the last part of the fire.

The truck has had this issue since i've purchased the truck but can never duplicate the issue while at the dealership. The 1st time the engine would crank but would not fire. The second time, i was driving and the truck just stopped. I was lucky enough some passing by motorist helped to push it out of the intersection. 3rd time, the truck was parked and did not start. After troubleshooting the issue, the fuel pump…

2010 ford f150 with just over 60,000 miles. While driving, the vehicle fails and the engine shuts down entirely. This happens intermittently when the truck comes to a stop, but has also happened while driving casually at approximately 45 mph on city streets. This has happened multiple times. Personal investigation has led to finding numerous reports online of the same or worse problems with this model/year of ford…

I live in a metropolitan area where there is always a high volume of traffic and losing power of a vehicle is a dangerous situation. Driving in 5:00 rush hour traffic and accelerating from a red light when my ford truck entered into a "limp home" mode (wrench icon and oil lamp appeared) it stalled out. I was able to coast into a parking lot even though i had no power steering or brakes. Eventually, i was able to…
