Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2013 Ford F-150

While driving on a 4 lane busy street, my truck stopped running. It would not re-start. It had a full tank of gas, would crank over but not start. I had it flat towed to my home. It was determined to not be getting gas. I found a TSB on the problem and I had to pay for the repair from Ford. Fuse #27 was too small to handle the current for the fuel pump relay. It was a design flaw and I believe Ford should pay for the fix. This could of been more dangerous if I was on the freeway. I called fomoco and was told it was my responsibility. Does Ford have any liability ?.

I went to start the vehicle and it would crank b ut not start. I found that a very common problem with this truck is the fuel pump fuse. I located this fuse and found that it was in fact blown, and melted in half. Ford has created a repair for this, because it is such a common problem, but has not issued a recall. This needs to be repaired by Ford for the customers at no charge.

Fuse #27 burnt up and vehicle would not start because that fuse controls the fuel pump. This issue was addressed in TSB 15-0137. Incredible to believe that something this simple has not been a recall for driver safety. Vehicle luckily was not in motion when it happened. This most likely would not be an item located in a vihicle incident. . . . So there is a good chance you have no idea how many deaths this has caused.

Traveling 50 mph on a 4 lane road when engine shut off. Had power to vehicle but no steering or brakes. I was able to get off the 4 lane highway successfully. The truck would turn over but not crank, after sitting 90 minutes, it cranked. Took to Ford dealership the next morning. They said it was the #27 fuse that controls the fuel pump. Put a kit in to move the #27 fuse to an isolated location so it wouldn't get hot and malfunction. The cost was $250. I asked it there was a recall and they said no. I said someone is going to get killed because this is dangerous. The response was we have been getting a lot of these. I was lucky and was able to get off the road. The next person might not be as lucky. Something needs to be done before someone is fatally injured.

My truck failed to start, and when I investigated the issue I found fuse 27 (located in the battery junction box at the front of the engine bay) melted causing circuit for the fuel pump to open which left the truck without a functioning fuel system (fuse 27 is part of the circuit for the fuel pump). Replacing the damaged fuse resolved the issue while a more robust solution is determined. If this had happened during operation the vehicle would have lost power, been unable to steer due to an electric assisted steering system and become a hazard for other vehicles while putting the occupants of the truck, and any vehicle that collides with it, at risk for injury or death. .

The end of last may, pulling our camper up the raton pass, in a construction zone and a foggy sleet storm the mil illuminated, the engine died and we were barely able to negotiate our way back to the shoulder, after just having merged into the left lane. We were able to restart the truck and it died a couple more times along the way so we took it to xit Ford in dalhart TX. The tech there found a bunch of codes stored in the pcm, cleared them and sent us on our way and the drive back to dallas was uneventful. After we got home, the wife was driving her truck on the freeway and it died on her on 3 different occasions, so I took it to north central Ford, since they had done a pcm recall re-flash (19v-075) on it prior to leaving for our trip. They told us there was an even newer re-flash and the preformed that and it seemed to settle down. With the recent cold snap we have had, the truck has started to exhibit a "a crank no-start" symptom and with a little research I came across "TSB 15-0137" which fits all of our symptoms to a tee. This is a very dangerous situation. . . Having your truck die on you, while pulling a trailer, up an almost 8000 foot pass, in a storm. . . It is a wonder we were not killed! the TSB was published September 2, 2015 and covers f150 model years 2009 - 2014. I believe Ford should issue a recall for this, there are many people on the internet complaining about having the same issue and I would not have found the cure without them. The issue is caused by the fuel pump control module fuse not having contacts large enough to carry the current required, getting hot and melting in the fuse box. The remedy listed in the TSB is a new fuse with contacts at least 10 times larger. When I checked our truck fuse 27 was indeed melted and I ordered el3z-14293-a as specified in the TSB. I am also surprised that neither dealership seemed to know about the TSB.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact noticed a burning odor and towed the vehicle to future Ford Lincoln (650 automall dr, roseville, CA 95661, (888) 656-7577). The dealer repaired a fuel pump and wiring that was heat damaged. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that they would call the contact back. The failure mileage was 49,000.

The fuel pump fuse (fuse 27) overheats and burns out resulting in the entire truck shutting off at speeds. This happened to me at 65 mph on a highway leaving me with no engine at that speed.

Engine would crank but not start. The wrench emblem appeared on my instrument panel computer. The Ford dealer said it was the fuse for the fuel pump had actually gotten hot and melted. It seem this is a very common problem with this vehicle. It was sitting in my garage, and would not start.

Vehicle power suddenly shutdown while driving down the freeway. After pulling to the side of the road, engine would only idle. Engine would not rev up to a higher rpms. Vehicle required towing to a repair center. The following 2 issues were found: 1. Throttle body needed replaced. 2. Fuel pump electrical circuit was heat damaged. The repair center told me they are starting to see more of these type of issues on these vehicles. The repair center moved this circuit away from the heat source causing the damage. This appears to be a design issue which could pose a safety problem. A recall should be issued for this problem.

The fuel management system blew the fuse. I looked online and saw where many people have had this happen and Ford has a service advisory issued for this problem but charge the owner with making the correction to the defective wiring. They do not simply replace the Mini 10 amp fuse but instead replace a part of the wiring and relocate it to a standard 20 amp fuse. When I explained my concern about engineering a fuel management system for a 10 amp rating and switching it to the 20 amp which could allow other parts of the system to overload he basically told me that Ford had decided this was how they would fix the problem but now I have the concern other components of the system failing and sure enough it was less than two weeks later the fuel pump driver module failed causing my vehicle to stop running. The service manager also told me I was lucky as he had seen total melt downs of fuse panels from this defect. This has cost me $805 in repairs due to a faulty wiring design. The vehicle was stationary at the time, once in a parking lot and once in my driveway.

Fuel pump control module fuse burned out (fuse #27) and truck stopped running while on freeway without any warning.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated the vehicle could not be started. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was towed family Ford located 30 NJ-183, netcong, NJ where it was diagnosed that the fuse that connects to the fuel pump failed and the wiring would need to be rewired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue however no further assistance was offered and the contact was transferred to the NHTSA. The failure mileage was 38000. Kh.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle cranked, but did not start. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump was faulty and relocated the wiring case to the fuel pump. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 88,500.

Fuel pump fuse melted and I was doing some online research to try to find out the cost of part and repair, and notice a lot of Ford owners having the exact same issue with the 2013 Ford F-150.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle was at stand still on the outside of his residence, when the vehicle failed to start. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to independent mechanic, where he was informed needing to replaced the fuel pump. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated he continue to experience the failure and has the repairs done on 2 different occasion. The vehicle was taken to local dealer five star Ford Lincoln located at 711 e wishkah st, aberdeen, wa 98520, (360) 533-3673, where it was diagnosed with a needing a fuse to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but continued to experience the failure. The manufacturer has been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 77,000. Dp.

Vehicle was moving, was parking in my driveway when it stalled and wouldn't start. Vehicle towed to mullinax Ford, new smyrna beach, florida. Invoice # 191885. The wire from the fuel pump/relay overheated and burned the wire and the fuse causing the vehicle to stop. Fors is aware of this problem and even have a relocate kit el3z 14293 a to correct the problem. This should be a recall not a repair paid for by the customer. There is obviously a defect in the design and they even have a kit to correct.

Truck would turn over but not start , no fuel was making it to spark as fuse for fuel pump had melted into fuel box and damaged it. This is a faulty setup and needs to be address before someones life is taken or injured badly.

Fuel pump malfunctions causing truck to dangerously stall out at highway speeds.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle did not start and was not operable. Prior to the failure, the vehicle experienced a loss of power. The vehicle was towed to len stoler Ford (11275 reisterstown rd, owings mills, MD) where it was diagnosed that the fuse that runs through the fuel pump was defective due to the fuel wiring harness overheating. A new wire needed to be relocated to another fuse box. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 40,372.

On a trip, September 20th going to the smoky mountains, our 2013 Ford F-150 pickup truck suddenly lost power. We were on mile marker 295 eastbound on interstate 40, in the left side passing lane going about 55 mph up a hill. The engine stopped with no warning. The dash screen flashed a picture of a wrench and then said "low oil pressure. " the oil pressure gauge showed no pressure. I thought the engine had blown. As I tried to navigate to the right side of the road, while on a hill, many semi-trucks slammed on their brakes trying to avoid my truck pulling a 5th wheel trailer. We miraculously avoided a possible major accident. Ultimately we learned it was a small $0. 50, number 27, 20 amp fuse to the fuel pump that caused the engine to stop. We were stuck on the side of the road for 2 hours until we could get a tow truck for both our truck and 5th wheel. Ford is aware of fuse 27 (for fuel pump) frequently melting. They even have a relocation kit to move the fuse when it melts due to overheating because of its location. In our case this nearly caused an accident involving semi trucks.

Fuse #27 for the fuel pump is burning up on one side. Engine stalls intermittently. Will not restart for a while after.

Fuel pump fuse melted causing truck to lose power while on freeway. Very dangerous.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. While driving approximately 60 mph, the power seized without warning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage and VIN were not available.

Model year 2009-2014 f150's have an issue with fuse 27 under the hood getting hot and melting. Fuse 27 is for the fuel pump relay. This causes complete loss of power while driving or a no start situation. Ford has issued a TSB for this issue, but in my mind it should be a recall. If the fuel pump stops, you lose all power no matter where you are, even if in heavy traffic on the interstate. This could also be a fire hazard if the wiring gets hot enough.

I was driving in heavy traffic, on a downtown street, when the truck suddenly cut off, loosing some braking and steering. The truck would not restart. I pushed it out of the travel lanes and had it towed to my Ford dealer. The dealer finds a burnt fuse receptacle for the electric fuel pump. Then I discover they have known about this problem, created a repair kit, but failed to notify owners this is happening. I wonder, if the fuel pump wiring is getting hot enough to melt the fuse holder, but not blowing the fuse, doesn't this cause a problem, why isn't the fuse blowing?. It really looks like a faulty design and needs to be corrected before someone gets hurt, from failing to be able to control the vehicle without power, or the reason the fuse is getting hot, shows up and starts melting the wiring to the fuel pump. Please look into this, it needs to be recalled to fix this faulty design or at least contact the owners so they could have it fixed before this happens. Fords fix was to reroute the circuit to another style fuse, so they know, the original design will not carry this circuit.

At times my 2013 F-150 would kill and other times would be non responsive at idle while traveling. The first time it happened was while I was trying to merge onto the interstate, while merging onto the 70mph interstate the truck immediately lost power after driving over an uneven area of asphalt; however 3-4 seconds later the throttle response returned to normal. Weeks go by and I am traveling across 22 mile causeway bridge which has no shoulders, as I am accelerating to pass a car the truck stalls, no throttle response, within a few seconds it is back running normal. The battery warning light came on after for 30 seconds to a minute then went off. I had the battery and alternator checked and both tested fine. The truck runs fine for a few weeks and then it stalls again while merging on the interstate or while passing another vehicle. The last time I was driving home in a heavy rain storm at night busy area of interstate and it completely stalls in panic I am pushing on the accelerator hoping I can make it to the shoulder cars behind me sliding all over the road trying to avoid hitting me and my family; we are finally safe on the shoulder of the road, the truck would turn over but would not start, check engine light was on and obd codes p0201, p0202. . . . , actually a code saying open circuit for every injector. Called a wrecker service to have the vehicle towed to closest Ford dealership. The dealership diagnoses the problem as fuel pump fuse has melted the connection in the fuse panel. Its a" Ford TSB-15-0137 " Ford even sells the part to fix this problem. How can a company acknowledge they have a problem because hey specifically made another part to fix the problem but not be held responsible. I had to pay the tow service, rental car, and the cost of parts and labor, for a problem that as I googled TSB-15-0137 a lot of 2013 Ford f150 owners are experiencing.

A critical 20 amp fuse that gives power to the fuel relay which powers the fuel pump blew rendering my vehicle in operable. It would not start at all. This is a known issue to Ford motor company. They have a TSB also known as a technical service bulletin 15¿0137. This "fix" merely relocates the fuse so that the known potential for failure does not melt the fuse housing. This does not solve the problem of why the fuse is blowing. This service is also not covered; as the dealer expects me to pay for the fix. The fuse housing on my truck is melted and chard from the failed fuse . To me this is a safety issue both for the potential of fire and losing propulsion due to the consequential loss of fuel to the engine .

After towing truck to dealer after a crank no start, the dealer diagnosed the problem as melted fuse f27 which powers the fuel pump. Surprisingly this fuse has melted often enough that Ford has a specifically designed rework kit p/n el3z-14293-a which relocates the fuse to a different spot in the fuse box where a physically larger but identical amperage fuse is used. After doing some research, some of the other affected vehicles with the melted f27 experienced stalling while they were driving. Others have had to replace the entire fuse box due to melting. It seems this issue has happened often enough that there is an official TSB from Ford (TSB-15-0137) as well as the above mentioned rework kit, which my dealer had in stock. Based on the work performed (moving the fuse to a different spot in the fuse box and replacing it with a physically larger fuse of the same amperage), it seems that this issue is a design problem. This seems like a potentially dangerous defect that Ford is making customers pay to fix.

I was driving down a very dangerous highway pass going approximately 65 mph when my engine stalled as random alarms started appearing on my dashboard, then my steering locked from the engine being off. I tried the best I could to get on the shoulder as I had no steering ability and I stepped on the brakes fairly hard. I was lucky because this was the only place in miles with a shoulder. Anywhere else on this road and I could have been seriously injured or died. While on the side of the road I smelled a tiny bit of burning plastic with no problem in sight. I googled what happened on a special forum website for Ford raptor owners and others had the same thing happen with fuse 27. Which is for the fuel pump. So I checked the number 27 fuse and sure enough it had melted, I actually had to take it out of the fuse box in melted pieces with pliers. The fuse melted while driving so the fuel pump shut off causing my engine to stall and steering to lock. Many many others have had his happen and Ford recognizes it as a service bulletin. However this needs to be more then a service bulletin when someone's life could be taken driving the freeway or dangerous road. We were lucky there was no collision, injuries, or fire, however it could have very well caused an electrical fire and if someone was on a crowded freeway in rush hour a collision is almost certain.

I purchased my 2013 Ford f 150 v8, 6. 2l raptor about 6 months ago for the main purpose of hunting very remote areas here in maine. About 1 month ago, I utilized the remote start to start the truck and drove to work. At noon that day, I went to start my truck, it would turn over but not fire. Called aaa, they checked the battery which was fine and then placed key into door to unlock and engine fired up. Then about a week ago, during hunting season, I drove the truck into a gas station, filled the tank, I went to start the truck to leave and the same issue occurred. I ended up taking the cable off of the battery, then reattached and the engine fired up. I brought the truck to Ford, they stated that they diagnosed as as known problem. The fuse to the fuel pump will need to be diverted. I told Ford that I was heading north to hunt the next day, they recommended strongly that I get the issue fixed ASAP, said they could get part and have the issue remedied the next day. I set up the appointment. Ford just called and said the part was on backorder, they can't get it until Nov 30. Hunting season ends Nov 27th.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Ford f150. The contact stated while refueling, the metal stopper within the fuel tank did not depress and fuel spilled from the fuel tank. The contact was not able to put the nozzle in because the capless entry point was blocked by the metal piece in the fuel tank. The authorized dealer was contacted and provided no remedy but suggested an interim fix for the contact to jam the fuel pump nozzle into the fuel tank. The contact did not use the referred temporary remedy from the local dealer. The vehicle was to be inspected, diagnosed and repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 5,500. Dyd.

We bought our 2013 f150 XLT 4x4 v6 flex fuel at denham Ford in wetaskiwin alberta. We traveled across country to ontario. We have continued to drive it. Approximately 9000 kms for mileage our truck has steadily lost acceleration power. Going up burlington skyway and garden city skyway (100 km/h major highway) truck struggle to maintain 60 km/h uphill with pedal to the floor! had instrumental panel problems improper display of amount of gas or distance to e. Driveshaft constantly clunking and transmission slippage. Ford refused to replace after towing of problems and constant call ins to customer service. Took to local dealer and 7-8 technicians stood round scratching head replaced fuel pump did not make a difference. Ford ask for payment 558. 08 we not have funds as all of our money going into gas to repair truck and false reading on panel and Ford refused to help us. We felt used and scared of being rear ended by a semi was not safe. Did diagnostic no codes. Beyond code problem. First known problem in north America. . . Huge lemon.
