Fuel Pump problems of the 2007 Ford Expedition

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Expedition. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle stalled in the middle of the roadway. The contact was able to place the vehicle in park(p) and the contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had the vehicle towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle had been repaired; however, the fuel pump failed a few years later. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 204,000.

I was traveling down the highway and was coming up to a stop light and the vehicle died out. I was able to get the vehicle started and shortly after that, I was traveling down the highway again and while I was speeding up to about 55 mph the vehicle shut down again and I was barely able to get away from the traffic around me and get the vehicle pulled over to the side of the roadway. I attempted restarted the vehicle and it could not get the vehicle to restart, luckily I work on vehicles myself and determined that the problem was a fuel pump issue. I tapped on the fuel tank, got the vehicle started and was able to drive me and my family all the way back home, but the vehicle was driving rough and no lights came on indicating I had a problem, before or after. I will get the vehicle tested on to see what would have caused it. After reading a great number of these complaints, the problem seems to point at and is clearly indicating it is the fuel pump!! we were very lucky that the vehicle didn't explode because the fuel pump wires have a tendency to melted on the fuel pump. I doubt Ford would pay for this fuel pump failure it seems to be a common problem when you look on-line.

Vehicle experienced a no start. Was towed to Ford dealership for repair; diagnosed as failed fuel pump. Fuel pump was replaced and old pump returned to me. The old pump has a melted and scorched electrical connector where the wiring comes into the pump motor, which in the presence of gasoline vapors, had the potential to be disastrous. I noted several other similar NHTSA complaints regarding this vehicle in this model year. Pictures available upon request.

The fuel pump went out on our 2007 Ford excursion while being operated. When examined, the mechanic stated that we were lucky the vehicle didn't catch fire or blow up since the wiring burned out on the fuel pump in the fuel tank. (I have pictures of the fuel pump that was removed). Someone needs to investigate these fuel pumps and determine what caused the wiring to burn up.

2007 Ford Expedition 119 wb. My fuel pump stopped working. When I pulled it out of the gas tank I was shocked. One connection had been burned and melted away. I would think that anything getting that hot to melt the plastic and have burn marks on it inside a gas tank would be really bad. I have pictures.
