Fuel Pump problems of the 2005 Ford F-150

Truck started stalling in traffic & intersections. Had to continue to restart. Finally made it home. Then took it in for repair. Remove & replace fuel pump control module (part was severely corroded) technician was surprised that the truck even ran. Ford pick a poor location for such an important part of the fuel delivery system. Should have been a recall item. Repair cost me $413. 08.

My fuel pump module shorted out. It had become corroded. There was a melting of plastic parts in the module. I could smell the plastic burning before the unit failed. The truck was running fine and then suddenly died when the module failed. Fortunately, I was driving through a small town when this happened. If it would have happened on the highway it could have been a very dangerous situation. I feel Ford should be performing a recall on these modules. It's a very poor design. I also feel that the truck owners should be compensated for the repairs that have already been done.

My 2005 F-150 truck stalled right in front of my house just outside of my driveway, my neighbor and I had to push it in as to not block my street. Luckily it didn't die out on the highway which I was on five minutes before it died out. I was thinking the fuel pump went, but with only 68,000 miles that would not be very good. After some research on the net this little part named fuel pump drive module gets my attention. I took down the spare tire took out the two bolts that hold the fpdm in and wow this part was corroded with a hole in it and a crack!!! so after $144. 00 for part # 4l3z-9d370-a from Ford dealer and about 45 minutes of my time, I'm rolling again, lucky for me no tow fees just a few beers for my neighbor. What a joke that Ford can allow this bad design to continue and not be rectified by recalling all the vehicles this was installed on. I guess that wont happen till a few people lose there lives because of it.

We have a 2005 F-150 Ford pickup. Latter part of April 2011 I was coming home from work the truck just shuts off. Will not restart. Have it towed to the garage they scanned it and said the fuel pump and the fuel module needed replaced. Order the parts through Ford motor company , can't get them anywhere else. Didn't receive them called again and put a rush on them may 5th, 2011. Never recieved parts until in June 2011. We called several times to find out why it was taking so long and was told they were on back order. When we finally recieved them they said there was 1600 shipped out and 4300 on back order. Done some checking and found out that there were many, many more people with the same problem. Ater getting the parts and having them installed now the check engine light comes on the garage scans it and now in needs a fuel tank pressure sensor and guess what nobody has one. I need this vehicle for my job and besides that this is getting very costly. I feel Ford motor company should be taking care of this problem and reimbursing those who have spent all this money on this problem. After all four months is way to long to wait on parts to solve a problem especially when you have to get the parts from them.

Fuel pump control module is subject to corrosion due to location. I was driving up hill on the freeway when my 2005 f150 stalled. I lost all power, power steering, brakes. I was nearly killed when the semi behind me could not stop in time due to the failure of fuel pump control module. Thankfully I was strong enough to force the truck to the shoulder and stop despite having no power brakes or steering while towing a 6000 lb trailer. After paying for a tow for my truck and trailer I find hundreds of reports dealing with the faulty placement of the fuel pump control module online. At the repair shop I was amazed by the extent of the corrosion. There was barely anything left of the module. The part was replaced with the same faulty controler due to a backorder from Ford because the problem is so wide spread. I almost died due to a known problem that should have never been allowed to occur.

1. I was driving down the road (snow and ice covered) and while making a left hand turn through an intersection my truck instantly died. When the truck died a lost power searing, brakes, and obviously acceleration. The entire intersection was blocked for 30-45 min. Due to an earlier snow storm, no tow trucks were available. 2. The failure happened once. When the failure happens, the driver looses engine, brake, and steering power. The cause of the problem is a faulty fuel pump control module. The part fails because it is mounted underneath the bed of the truck but was not made resistant to road salt corrosion. 3. Ford knows about this issue (and has a replacement corrosion resistant part) but the kit for this is in such high demand that it is back ordered until the middle of may. The dealer is telling me my truck is "fixed" but no one is able to prove I have the corrosion resistant part. There is documented communication between Ford and the dealer about knowingly installing the old, defective part.

Vehicle just died. The fuel pump control module was replaced.
