Fuel Pump problems of the 2004 Ford F-150

Fuel pump driver module, back side of module corroded away exposing circuit board causing the fuel pump to stop running and leaving me stranded during a snow storm,seems to be a common problem on 2004-2008 Ford pickups. I consider this a poor design and should be a recall, lot of garages installing new fuel pumps at 300. 00 a crack when its a easy to replace 80. 00 dollar part.

I went to start the vehicle, hand slipped off of the key, the vehicle would crank but not turn over. Tried to restart the vehicle numerous times. Unplugged the battery, left it sit for 10-15 mins (thought it was the anti theft). Later in the day a friend looked at it, troubleshot it as fuel pump- used owner manual to look at fuses, everything looked fine. Concluded had to be with the fuel pump or sensor. Had to have the vehicle towed to a garage, pulled the fuel pump sensor off, there was a giant whole in the outer layer and plastic was cracked. Moisture fried the circuit board. The part is currently at vrtc. I am glad my vehicle was at home and not somewhere in a parking lot or far from home. No real signs of this happening prior to not starting.

My 2004 Ford F-150 died in the exit to a local plaza blocking traffic from exiting. After about a half an hour I got the truck started and drove to the Ford service dept. I was told the fuel pump driver module has corroded through and that this part was on national back order because of the number of failures due to the poor location of the module. I was fortunate to find the last replacement part in the western NY area but since have talked to other's all over then country trying to get the same part with no luck. The fact that tis part is on national back order should be proof enough that this is a serious problem. I was charged $375 ($160 for part and $200 for labour for a 15 minute job). I believe this could pose a serious safty hazard if a vehicle fails in the wrong place.
