Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2006 Ford F-150

Fuel pump control module corrosion causing engine to stall and not restart while driving on secondary road.

While in passing lane of three lane west bound route 3 engine shut down, had to negotiate two lanes of highway traffic to get to shoulder while coasting. Vehicle towed to repair shop. Fuel pump control module failure. Module corroded, holes thru back of module where it mounts to frame.

2006 F-150 lost all power function while traveling down the interstate. I lost power steering and brakes. The cause is a corrosive fuel pump control module. After taking with my local Ford dealer I was made aware that this is major safety issue and one that fmc refuses to recognize. This incident could have resulted in a major accident. I was lucky enough to be able to signal to the cars around me that I was having trouble - however I was still almost rear ended twice before being able to pull off to the side of the road.

Part #4l3z 9d370 a (control unit) this is the fuel pump driver module on a 2006 Ford f150 that failed because the shell that holds the micro chips rusted out. This should be noted to Ford motor company because is a common problem in cold weather states. P. S. Repair cost at Ford dealership $458. 78.

Truck stuttered & stalled, would not restart. Towed Ford to dealer. Failure caused by corroded, cracked fuel pump module. The module body is made of an alloy metal material, and the module is bolted directly to the steel frame near the gas tank, moisture and dis-similar metals (electrolysis) caused rapid deterioration of module body. This poor design causes the vehicle to shut down at any speed/situation, loss of power steering & brakes would occur. Result could be death of occupants or those persons around truck when engine shut down occurs.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle restarted but the failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician diagnosed that the fuel pump control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 87,000. The VIN was unavailable.

I was traveling at approximately 55mph when the vehicle started to sputter, and as I began to slow down and tried to pull over to the side of the road before the truck quit on me. I tried to start it back up in order to get off the main road but the vehicle didn't start. I ended up having the vehicle towed to the local shop and after a diagnosis that cost $124. 95 they found out that the fuel pump driver module when bad. The fuel pump driver module cost $234. 44. So all together with parts, labor and tax it cost me $496. 88 without including the cost to have the vehicle towed. The fuel pump driver module is bolted directly to the frame cross member, and with minnesota winters snow and road salt get trapped between the two parts. The part will eventually rust, crack, and then the fuel pump driver module goes bad. It was nice to see that the replacement part has a plastic housing with a couple spacers to move it away from the cross member to possibly eliminate this problem. Ford had to know about a problem with this component otherwise they wouldn't have changed the design right?.

Upon attempting to start my 2006 Ford f150 super crew cab vehicle (5. 4l), the engine will attempt to crank over but will not turn on. Upon further diagnosis, it was determined that the fuel pump module is not working. It became completely rusty and exhibits holes throughout the surface of the module. This appears to be an extremely common problem that Ford is very well aware of and has not addressed the problem. I think a civil class action lawsuit should help them with them make the right decision to repair the module at no cost to the consumer. This is an extremely frustrating issue that Ford has known about for several years. Upon speaking with Ford directly, I was advised that their has been recalls for that exact part but not for the 2006 Ford f150. Completely unacceptable and inexcusable. This will be my last Ford purchase. I've been a Ford man all my life. Not anymore. . . .

Driving east on i90 (about 20 miles west of stewartville, mn) during freak may blizzard. Due to road conditions, could only drive between 15-40 mph. Suddenly the engine stopped running. I was able to start it up again and drive about 3 minutes and then it would die again. There was no place to pull over, as the shoulders of the road were not cleared and there was 12" of wet heavy snow. My truck is not 4wd so we would have gotten stuck. We had to drive with the hazards on, but it was low visibility and we could easily have been hit from behind. We could not get off on the exit ramp because a semi truck jacknifed and the exit was closed. We had to continue this hazardous journey to the next exit, which was about 12 miles away, to stewartville, mn. We found a auto repair shop and described the problem. The mechanic suspected immediately that it was the fuel pump control module. He said that he has been installing a lot of these lately on f150s, especially 2006's. He said he felt there should be a recall, as it is well-known among mechanics that these are failing at an alarming rate. The problem is that the module is located tight against the frame, next to the spare tire, and the metal of the module (aluminum) reacts adversely with the steel metal of the frame, causing oxidation between the two. This causes the module to break and fail, thus shorting out the circuit board. Ford knows that this is a problem, as the replacement parts have spacer plates to keep the module & frame separated. Ford should issue a recall on this part before someone gets killed. We could easily have been killed, as we could not pull off the interstate. The part is relatively inexpensive (we paid $189 for the part). We should have been notified of this issue.

The vehicle was being driven at 35 mph and simply stopped running. Vehicle could not be re-started. Towed to repair shop. The mechanic tested the fuel system and determined the fuel pump had burned out. The fuel pump was replaced at a cost of $552. 05. One day after repairs were completed the check engine warning light was activated and the code revealed a fuel system issue. The vehicle was immediately taken back to the same repair shop. The fuel pressure was operating at 90 psi. After several unsuccessful visits, it was eventually detemined that the fuel pump control module was severely corroded and malfunctioning. The "pot" metal has been completely corroded and there is an approximate 1 inch diameter hole leading directly to the electic panel. The control module was replaced for an additional $399. 89. The design of this module using "pot" metal and simply bolting to the steel axle is ridiculous. This item should be an immediate recall within the "salt belt" areas of north America. I have documented receipts from the repair shop and have kept the original fuel module as well. Ford motor company should recognize this issue as an obvious re-call item and be held responsible for associated repair bills.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while reversing at 3 mph, the vehicle stalled and would not restart. An independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle as having a faulty fuel pump and/or faulty fuel driver module. The manufacturer was notified but offered no assistance. The vehicle had not been repaired. The VIN was unavailable. The failure and current mileage was 103,000. Mah.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while traveling 44 mph, the vehicle shook violently then stalled. The vehicle was restarted and the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it confirmed that the fuel pump had failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 111,600. The VIN was unavailable.

I was warming the vehicle to go to work, my truck just suddenly stalled, had to get a tow to the nearest Ford dealer, the mechanic said the fuel pump module unit went out, the part is on back order or emergency order, I have no vehicle to get to work, I need my vehicle, this part should be on recall for Ford f150.

Fuel pump module, enough said Ford. Time to make a recall. No recall but there's an update to mount it on studs. . . Think there's an issue?.

Truck keeps shutting off. If you wait 45 minutes to restart it will start and idle for about 15 seconds and slowly die. Or you can drive a short distance and it will die. Repair is for the fuel pump control module. Because of where it is mounted on the truck it corrodes very fast especially in snow states due to the salt on roadways. Ford can you please do a recall of this part and reimburse us for the cost!.

I was driving towards work when all the sudden the truck died. After safely pulling on the side of the road. The truck did not start at all. According to my family mechanic, it was the fuel pump. I paid 540 for the fix including the part from the Ford dealership. A few days later, the truck did not start on the morning going to work. My family mechanic came and did a few test and found out it was the fuel pump module. He then replaced such module. The module was rusted and it was falling apart. After he replace it with a new one, the truck started and is working properly. He charged me 300 including the part from the dealer.

Acceleration when applying the brakes. This has occurred several time the most recent being today. I almost ran into a building pulling into a parking space. The time before was at a red light, no one was in front of me and the time before that I was hauling an antique car on a trailer with trailer brakes that actually kept me from hitting anyone when the truck brakes caused an acceleration. I am afraid to drive this truck. I also had a problem with the fuel pump pouring fuel out of the truck onto the exhaust system.
