Fuse #27 burnt up and vehicle would not start because that fuse controls the fuel pump. This issue was addressed in tsb 15-0137. Incredible to believe that something this simple has not been a recall for driver safety. Vehicle luckily was not in motion when it happened. This most likely would not be an item located in a vihicle incident....so there is a good chance you have no idea how many deaths this has caused.

While accelerating quickly, but not so much as to spin the tires, the vehicle started "bucking". I was doing about 35-40 when it got pretty bad. The engine felt as if it was stopping and starting very quickly. It was actually pretty hard to control and it causes the truck to not allow me to accelerate onto the highway or even reach highway speeds. The check engine light started flashing and did not stop flashing for…

Traveling 50 mph on a [redacted] when engine shut off. Had power to vehicle but no steering or brakes. I was able to get off the 4 lane highway successfully. The truck would turn over but not crank, after sitting 90 minutes, it cranked. Took to ford dealership the next morning. They said it was the #27 fuse that controls the fuel pump. Put a kit in to move the #27 fuse to an isolated location so it wouldn't get hot…

While driving on major highway i lost power to my 2013 f150 6.2l. I had a tractor trailer on my right side and a jerk tailgating me. I finally managed to get the vehicle to the breakdown lane. I really thought i was going to be in a major accident.

My truck failed to start, and when i investigated the issue i found fuse 27 (located in the battery junction box at the front of the engine bay) melted causing circuit for the fuel pump to open which left the truck without a functioning fuel system (fuse 27 is part of the circuit for the fuel pump). Replacing the damaged fuse resolved the issue while a more robust solution is determined. If this had happened during…

Driving on major highway, 65-75 mph, lost engine power and had to pull over, trying not to cause a wreck, and stopped between busy highway and on-ramp to the highway. Found that the engine had stalled and wouldn't restart. Found #27 fuse melted. Changed fuse and was able to restart engine. I don't like repairing ford's engineering mistakes, nor do i like being put in danger because of them. I use this truck for work…

When i accelerate on the highway to merge or pass my truck looses power completely can not accelerate. It shudders for about 45 seconds check engine light comes on flashing and it suddenly comes back to life. I took it to my local ford and they said it was a high pressure pump that needed to be replaced. I replaced it and it is still having the same issue. This seems to be a common issue with these trucks. The more…

Due to throttle body failure, the truck has gone into a "limp" mode several times. Needless to say for the truck to suddenly stop accelerating when on the highway or even when taking off from a stop sign could be deadly. I wonder how many people are dead because of this and were not able to tell anyone the accident was due to the failure and not because of their driving. Not sure i want my wife or kids to drive…

I have a 2013 f-150 ecoboost. I was driving about 50 mph last night, 12/3/18 when it suddenly downshifted, causing the rear brakes to lock and tires squealed. I lurched forward in the seat. The speedometer went down and then back up to 50. It lasted all but seconds. I was able to drive home. I have left it in the garage since it is unsafe to drive at this point until i can get it to the garage. Thankfully the road…

The fuel management system blew the fuse. I looked online and saw where many people have had this happen and ford has a service advisory issued for this problem but charge the owner with making the correction to the defective wiring. They do not simply replace the mini 10 amp fuse but instead replace a part of the wiring and relocate it to a standard 20 amp fuse. When i explained my concern about engineering a fuel…
