As a passenger entered my truck, their foot hit the inertia switch killing the fuel system. This has now happened approximately 15 times, 3 of which no passenger was even in the truck. This switch is placed in a commonly kicked area and once tripped the first time it becomes extremely sensitive to vibration. One time it cut off while I was idling in line at a drive-thru. It should be recalled and relocated.
Multiple shut offs from the inertia switch has been going on for 2+ years after driving for 30-40 mins truck will just shut down while driving has happened on the interstate, driving around town or sitting at stop light. Ended up melting the connection. Have replaced.

3 times going down the road the truck died and had to be towed. All 3 times was the inertia switch. The other time they replaced part of the transmission.

I can't put my family or myself in that position again.
Vehicle engines shuts off while at highway speed. Has happened between 20 to 30 times over the life if the vehicle. Has had 4 inertia switches installed. Ford has claimed " intermittent problems are not our problem. " multiple Ford dealerships have also said that it doesn't "throw a code" and is therefore not in need if being fixed just "a quirky vehicle. " I've also been told the only way to permanently fix the problem is to buy a new truck.
