Three problems related to fuel pump have been reported for the 1999 Ford Explorer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving at approximately 35 miles per hour, my 1999 Ford Explorer lost all power. My foot was on the accelerator and I was traveling at a constant speed. It was very, very scary and I was lucky to steer the car into a turning lane prior to the vehicle losing all momentum and coming to a complete stop. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership where they told me that the problem might be the fuel pump, but they didn't seem too sure about it, which worried me to the point that I have decided not to have it repaired at this time. I am now afraid to drive my car in the event that this could happen again!.
I have had the fuel pump replaced two times. The first was at 8000. The first symptom was trying to die after backing out of my driveway. The second failure just occurred with the symptom being difficult starts.
Fuel pump failed. Yh.
