Ford vehicle lost power and stopped running with full tank of fuel. Would not restart, had towed to repair shop. Replaced fuel pump for $606. 99. Drove about a mile and same thing happened again. Found that the fuel inertia shut off switch needed re-setting. Bought a fuel pump I didn't need. This has happened multiple times this year again. Ford dealer said I needed a fuel pump. (35,000 miles) again, no way. The replacement part (inertia switch) moves the switch from passenger floor area to side kick panel. The design change shows design flaw. Ford should replace for no cost. Very dangerous when engine dies.
