My 2013 Ford F-150 raptor has had two complete burned up master fuse boxes occur on my truck. The original one burned out and melted at 36k miles about a year ago. Ford covered it under factory warranty. This second one has just burned up at 80k. Same exact thing. There is a serious defect on this vehicle. This is also an issue with many 2013 model Ford raptor F-150. Accoring to online reports and various dealer comments. For safety purposes this is a severe enough and continual issue that a recall needs to be made. Four people I know who have owned this truck between 2011-2013 have all had the same issue. Vehicle will not start or operate when this issue occurs it's abnormal to have such and issue with a safety risk and the potential of the vehicle catching fire. It happens so often apparently there is a major back order on the fuse box replacement. Last time I was told it would take 6months to get the part.
Have lost power steering, brakes, and engine twice at different inclines, low/moderate speeds and while or after turning right. Both caused by a blown fuse (once fuse27, then after repair fuse70). During the second occasion this almost caused a serious and significant accident. Clearly there is an electrical issue as it happened a second time after repair by the dealership. Loss of power is sudden and in my case the vehicle would not restart because the fuse was blown.

2016 Ford F-150 2. 7l ecoboost model with only 3,928 miles. This is the third time engine has cut off on me while driving/accelerating! was taking a left turn from side road onto main road. While accelerating in the turn, engine started stuttering a few times (rpms would dip) and then it stalled out. Luckily I was able to complete my left hand turn without getting hitting by oncoming traffic and was able to pull over immediately. This time around the engine would not restart. Had to call Ford's roadside assistance to get towed to nearest dealership. The last two instances the dealer could not pull a code or diagnose what was wrong so nothing was done. This time the dealership has a dead truck on arrival so they can't tell me that there is nothing wrong with it (service and diagnostics has yet to be completed at the time of this writing). I have been in touch with Ford regional rep regarding my cases and I am told they cannot do anything until the dealer can diagnose what the root cause is. Obviously something is wrong. There are dozens of other complaints of engine stalling while driving.

Vehicle would not start. New wedge on wedge positive battery terminal clamping mechanism completely corroded to dust. Possible metal incompatibility?.
I was accelerating from a stop and vehicle shut off. I am 8mths pregnant and was stuck on the side of the road for over a 1/2 hour in -45 degree weather waiting for tow truck, because vehicle would not start. Mechanic looked at vehicle and found #9 fuse for fuel pump blown. Fuse replaced, and vehicle ran for 30seconds and electrical plug to driver control module began to smoke and melt. Driver control module and electrical plug replaced, and vehicle runs. I would have like to have been notified by Ford to avoid my stranded experience in -45 degree weather. This was a huge safety risk and it can be avoided. Ford should have located this device near the fuse box or under hood by fire wall plenty of room and same amount of wire.

Starting on 01-09-98 and continuing only in the winter months, my vehicle has failed to start. In all instances the vehicle has been parked overnight in an enclosed garage. In all incidents the battery was completely drained. After the first incident, gordie boucher installed a new battery. On 01-14-98 the vehicle again failed to start as the result of a dead battery. On both occasions the battery was completely drained, to a point where the power door locks would not function. I had no further problems in 1998. On 01-17-99 and 01-18-99 the vehicle again had a dead battery. The vehicle was checked again by gordie boucher however they were unable (again) to find a problem. On 02-16-99 and 02-21-99 and 03-25-99 the vehicle again had a dead battery. On all the above listed dates, all power points (lights (interior/exterior), radio, wipers, fans, etc were turned off. There is no obvious reason for why the battery is being drained, except that something in the system must be failing to shut completely off. My warranty on my truck is up in 05-99 and I need something done to my truck. I contacted NHTSA 03-03-99 and filled out the questionaire, but never received a reply. Please help.
