Driving in traffic friday of the long memorial day weekend, traveling at 75mph, no warning my f150 stalls. Finally get pulled all the way to the shoulder. After sitting for an hour and getting help, it was found that the fuse for the fuel relay had melted. 50 cent part could have caused a deadly crash! Why is there not a recall on this? Mechanic that worked on my f150 said this is about the 12th one he had worked…

While driving to work today, and making a right hand turn, my vehicle completely shut off. That is, the engine died, the power steering died, and the brakes died while the truck came to a complete stop in the middle of the lane. Let me reiterate - the truck completely died in the middle of the road and there was a complete loss of control over the vehicle. Had there been another vehicle, object, or person in front…

Engine stalls out periodically. Very dangerous in heavy traffic. This happens every time while in motion not sitting still. This is the eco boast 6 cylinder engine. Has been numerous reports with others but ford still won't issue a recall on these engines. It has 89350 miles on it. I'm going to change the plugs & boots this weekend but i'm sure that will not solve my problem. Ford is being stubborn on recalls.…

With a hard acceleration the truck blogged down & the engine service light came on. I thought the engine shut off so i pulled it down into 1st gear & it took off again. Still sputters like there is water in the gas or something. Light will not go off. Pretty dangerous in heavy traffic. It actually didn't have any power what so ever. Pretty scary. I read there were several complaints of the same situation. Why has…
