Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2009 Ford F-150

Tl-the contact owns a 2009 Ford F-150. The contact stated that when attempted to start the vehicle, the key will turn ; but the vehicle did not start. The vehicle was taken to the dealer joe machens Ford, 1911 w worley, columbia, mo 65203, they determined that the fuse that controled the fuel pump had burned and needed replacement. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 172,628. Bp.

My vehicle simply stalled without warning while I was traveling on the highway, twice. After a small cool down period, the vehicle started up again and seemed fine till a few days later when it happened again on the highway. According to Ford, this is a very common problem with a fuse that controls the fuel pump. It overheats and fails causing the fuel pump to stop working. They also have a $20 kit to fix the problem because it is so common. Why this is not a recall is beyond me. My wife and I could have been seriously hurt or worse.

On or about Aug & 2013 the vehicle mention above would start and then stall . I took the Ford f150 to palm bay Ford in palm bay FL. I was visiting my stepson at the time. I am form GA. The Ford dealer had it for 3 days and said that there was nothing wrong. On Feb 7 2014 the same thing happen. This time they towed the Ford to there place from my stepsons home. They had the vehicle for 3 days. And finally said that the fuel pump driver module had failed. I cannot believe that they would not know the first time this happen. They charged me 652. 09 for the repair. I know that I am not the first person this has happen to. What would have happen if this module failed when I was on interstate 95. This could have caused and accident or worse. Ford should recall this device because of the failure of the module and where is placed(under the spare tire) and the two different metals that cause corrosion.

No problems until about 60,000 miles. Then one day, while stopped, the truck suddenly died, the check engine light came on, and the gas gauge would indicated a quarter tank when the tank was actually full. All of this happened at the same time. I had two oxygen sensors replaced (about $400) to clear the check engine light and the fuel pump replaced (about $700) on the recommendation of the Ford service department to cure the gas gauge problem. While turning across oncoming traffic, the vehicle has died and was hard to steer. Oncoming cars had to brake rapidly as I have had a hard time steering with no power. This has now happened numerous times. The truck dies or runs very rough and nearly stalls almost every time I drive it more than a mile or so. There is no check engine code and the dealer stated it could not be duplicated when I took it in for evaluation. This has the potential for creating a dangerous situation. I would fix this issue if it could be identified.
