Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2012 Ford F-150

#27 fuse located under hood can burn and shut fuel pump down. Requires a fuse relocation kit. From # 27 to using empty #70 fuse holder. While driving or after shutting car off it will not restart. Can happen at anytime. As a result I first replaced fuel pump driver module, master relay to fuel pump also fuel pump before I resolved issue. Because it's a intermittent problem.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle was at stand still, when the vehicle failed to turn on. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact stated while inspecting the vehicle he saw fuel pump fuse was melted. The contact called local dealer epic Ford located at 5200 evergreen way, everett, wa 98203, (425) 353-7171, were made aware of the failure. The vehicle had not been diagnosed as of yet. The contact stated he replaced the fuse. The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 70,000. Dp.

Truck lost power due to a problem with the fuel pump fuse location.

While accelerating onto a highway, the vehicle completely lost power and the engine stopped and could not be restarted. Had to coast to a safe spot to pull of the road. After investigating the problem, I discovered that the fuse for the fuel pump had blown and melted the fuse block where the fuse is inserted. This is a known problem at Ford for this vehicle and they have issued a technical service bulletin for their dealerships to move the fuel pump fuse to a different block within the fuse panel and install a fuse block that will handle the required amperage. This is a problem that should definitely be a recall by Ford because of the nature of the failure. Losing complete power, including power steering and braking capability is a safety issue and should be urgently addressed by Ford. The NHTSA should force Ford to recall these vehicles and fix this issue before more people get killed.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the engine stalled while driving over 70 mph. The contact heard a beep sound and the low oil pressure indicator illuminated when the failure occurred. The failure was experienced several times. The contact was able to move the vehicle onto the road shoulder, restart the engine, and drive to david wilson's villa Ford (2550 north tustin street, orange, CA 92865, (714)-509-5615). The dealer performed a diagnostic test that located failure code: 27 (fuel pump). The dealer stated that the fuel pump fuse was located in an area that caused the fuse to overheat. The dealer relocated the fuel pump fuse to another area that would not cause the fuel pump fuse to overheat. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 94,000.

While traveling at 70 mph the vehicle stalled with the engine shutting down in main lanes of an interstate. The stalled engine resulted in the loss of all power assist features including power steering and power brakes. We were able to navigate across several lanes before coming to a complete stop in a traffic lane but not safely off the interstate. After calling for a tow and requested service. It was determined that a fuse powering the electric fuel pump had "burned" out and had to be replaced. Should have been a simple solution, upon further investigation it was determined the fuse panel had been damaged and would no longer accept a fuse and has to be modified with the fuse location moved to a new location and upgraded to a more robust fuse and fuse placement slot. Ford has been aware of this problem and has only elected to fix those vehicles that exhibit failure and at the cost of the consumer if not within the warranty period. This vehicle has been returned to Ford dealers multiple times with no mention of this problem or repair. Ford has issued a technical service bulletin (TSB 15-0137) and has created a specific replacement kit, which includes instructions and all necessary parts to perform the relocation (motorcraft # el3z-14293-a). This should be a recall as it impacts the safety of Ford's f150 owners, their passengers and those that share the road with them. Failure of all power assist functions while traveling at highway speeds is scary and creates a dangerous situation for those in the vehicle and those around it. It also creates an even more dangerous situation if the vehicle was being used to cross a busy intersection, stalled and then stopped in the center of the intersection. Included are pictures of the fuse and the fuse block damaged during the failure and honestly, a fire could have easily started as a result of this failure.

The contact stated that the fuel pump fuse was replaced and the vehicle restarted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not contacted.

I bought it with @ 10,000 miles on the odometer. I have had nothing but hell with it from day one. First off I put two new front rotors and brake pads all the way around and both idler pulleys were squealing so I replaced them . Then at @ 19,000 miles I had to replace both cvj half shafts . Now at 45,000 miles they are both shot again the cvj half shafts are . On the first of January this year I was driving down the road and the vehicle was running good suddenly it began to cut out and the power fell off on its face. I purchased an obd11 code reader to try and diagnose the problem. It tells me that random misfire detected and that cylinders 5 6 7 8 are misfiring . Let me just say that 4 months later after going thru everything from the plugs wires injectors and replacing the fuel pump module assembly it is still not running and I'm at my end of trying to get the peice of shit running. There is no way in hell at 45,000 miles on the vehicle that I should be having all the hell with the vehicle. I live in new mexico and we do have a lemon law here. I am beyond the shadow of a doubt sure that this truck is a damn lemon.

My truck would lose power at times then would not start. Dealer advised the fuse to the fuel relay pump was burned and needed to be bypassed to a larger fuse because the fuse installed by the manufacture is too small. This repair cost me $411. Dealer advised this was a defect from manufacture and was common in the 2012 year model. I researched the issue and located many complaints about vehicles losing power on the highways and almost involved in collisions due to the fuel pump problem. I'm sure there are many complaints and accidents that can be attributed to the defect which causes fuel disruption.

Driving truck at 65 plus miles per hour on interstate and vehicle stalled out lost power steering and brakes and was too close to having an accident. Later found out that fuse 27 had melted and lost all fuel pump pressure.

Vehicle fuel pump shuts off while driving due to fuel pump fuse (location #27) burning up in fuse box. After my vehicle shutting down while driving several times, last on the highway, with a total loss of power steering and other safety concerns, I found Ford has issued a TSB (TSB 15-0137) with a work around fuse relocation. This is unsatisfactory as this is a known issue to Ford, but not the consumer, putting drivers at risk. The fuse at issue, location #27, literally melted and burned up in the socket.
