2009 Ford F-150

DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN AND QUIT RUNNING. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI TRUCK AND ONLY AVOIDED A MAJOR ACCIDENT BECAUSE I HAD ROOM TO GO TO THE RIGHT AND THE SEMI HAD ROOM TO SWERVE AROUND ME ON THE LEFT. WHEN I HAD IT TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A MELTED FUSE BUT THAT THEY WERE ALREADY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAD A "FIX" KIT IN STOCK AND THE REPAIR PROCESS ALREADY DOCUMENTED TO REROUTE THAT FUSE. THIS MEANS THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I PRESUME WAS JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE ISSUING A RECALL.I HAVE THE REPAIR ORDER AVAILABLE IF NEEDED. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THEREFORE I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE $650.00 COST AND DID NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPS RUNNING.

THE TRUCK IS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND AT ALL SPEEDS. MY HUSBAND HAS TO PULL AND RESET FUSE 27 TO ALLOW THE FUEL PUMP TO RECIEVE POWER. THIS HAS PUT MY HUSBAND IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AS IT HAS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON TWO LANE HIGHWAYS. WE ARE REQUESTING A SERVICE VOUCHER BE SENT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM WE UNDERSTAND HAS ALREADY HAD A BULLETIN SENT OUT FOR. IT IS A FORD ISSUE AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE THIS BEING REMEDIED. WE WERE QUOTED A PRICE OF AROUND $300 TO CHANGE OUT THE RELAY THAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE.

THE TRUCK IS SHUTTING OFF AT ANY POINT IN TIME AND PUTTING MY HUSBAND AND OTHERS IN DANGER AS IT HAS HAPPENEND WHILE GOING DOWN BUSY ROADS AND THE HWY. HE HAS TO GET OUT AND REINSERT THE FUSE.IT HAS ALSO FAILED TO START UNTIL THE FUSE IS REINSERTED. IT HAS BLOWN FUSES. THIS IS UNDER RECALL IN OTHER VEHICLES FUSE 27. FUSE 8 WAS ALSO CAUSING PROBLEMS AND IT HAS BEEN REPLACED. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN. IT IS A PROBLEM WE FEEL SHOULD BE COVERED BY FORD WHICH HAS BEEN QUOTED AS BETWEEN 250$ AND 300$. WE ARE REQUESTING A VOUCHER FOR REPAIR BE SENT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER FOR THE REPAIR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

TRUCK STALLED AND LOST TRANSMISSION POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY HIGHWAY. WAITED 20MIN ON SHOULDER AND TRUCK STARTED AND RAN FINE.

FIRST THE RIGHT REAR DOOR SHOWS THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR SO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING FOR ABOUT TEN MILES BEFORE THEY GO OUT AND WHEN YOU STOP THE VEHICLE AND GET OUT THE LIGHTS STAY ON FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES SO IT RUNS THE BATTERY DOWN. SECOND THING IS THE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE DON'T RETURN TO THE CLOSED POSITION IT STAYS HALF WAY OUT AND A PIECE OF PLASTIC FELL OUT OF DOOR HANDLE I CONTACTED THE FORD COMPANY ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEMS. I MYSELF THINK THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE A SAFETY PROBLEM AND VERY AGGRAVATING
