Fuel pump went bad causing the pump to overdraw electricity on the electrical circuit which melted the fuse in the fuse box. The fuse and fuse position was melted beyond being able to use this again. It could have caused a fire in the engine compartment if the circumstances were different. My mechanic reported that he's seen some of these melt the whole fuse box, creating major damage and a major fire hazard. he reported there is a Temporary Service Bulletin out for this issue, so it seems like the manufacturer knows its and issue, but has not chosen to do anything about it.

Today, My 2012 Ford F150 would crank, but would never start. The vehicle had gas and no issues with the battery. When this occurred today, I found out online that the 2009-2014 Ford F150s have a common issue associated with Fuse 27. In 2015, Ford issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB 15-0137) related to this issue, but according to Ford’s Customer Service I was never informed of this TSB because it did not include my truck’s VIN number. None the less it appears to be the same issue as noted in that TSB. After the truck wouldn’t start today, I inspected the Engine Compartment Fuse box. It appears the Fuse 27 which provides power to the Fuel Pump has a commonly known issue of burning up. For my instance today this did appear to be the problem. Fuse 27 was completely burned up on the side of the fuse closest to the engine. Fortunately, I was parked in this instance and my safety or the safety of others was not put at risk, but my big concern is if the fuse were to go out while driving down the road or highway. The sudden loss of fuel due to this common electrical issue could have greatly put my safety and the safety of others at risk. The only warning message that I noticed prior to this issue was a battery warning, but when the vehicle was taken by an auto parts store to pull the code and check the battery, there was not issue with the battery. Note: The battery was replace 5 months ago. I believe this common issue that I and other Ford F150 owners have experience should be investigated further by the NHTSA to keep myself and others safe when driving or traveling in a 2012 Ford F150 to avoid the sudden loss of fuel to the engine that could result in significant injury or death.

This is a follow up to a complaint I made on 7-25-2022. Ref# 114-75779. My truck will not start sometimes or it will just shut off while driving. I have searched online and found that the fuel pump fuse in the distribution box is being burned. I have had it checked by two Ford mechanics and they both have confirmed that is the issue. My truck has just shut off 4 times in the last two weeks while driving without warning. The first time was July 22, the next was July 24, 2022. I've been very fortunate to avoid an accident so far. When this happens, I have to replace the fuse before it will restart, so I'm having to keep a pack of fuses with me at all times.The earliest any dealer close can repair it is August 12. This SHOULD be a safety recall with the vehicle just shutting off with no warning at all. Ford makes the fuse relocation kit to fix this issue, so it us a known problem. I'm very concerned as to why this hasn't been a safety recall, seeing the symptoms that are listed in the fuse relocation kit sold by Ford. Today, August 02, my truck shut off twice while driving in traffic and the fuel pump fuse slot was very hot and smoking. I replaced the fuse so I could get it out of the roadway and not cause an accident.

Vehicle shut off while driving approx 30 mph making a slight right hand turn. Thus losing all throttle, power steering and power brakes. Vehicle error message is low oil pressure but oil level is checked out to be good. Based on online research the culprit is an overheated fuel pump fuse and a very common issue.

IN JUNE OF 2018 I PURCHASED MY 2012 F150 5.0 WITH 16,250 MILES. I NOW HAVE 40,650. BACK IN OCT OF 2020 I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRUCKS ENGINE SPUTTERING, CHUGGING, ETC.. WHEN ACCELERATING IN DAY TO DAY TO TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE WOULD RUN VERY ROUGH WHILE I SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WAITING FOR THE TRUCK TO "WORK THROUGH IT" OR COMPLETELY DIE. I'D WAIT A FEW MINUTES, START IT BACK UP AND BE ON MY WAY. I CAN BE SITTING AT A LIGHT, IT TURNS GREEN AND I TAKE OFF AND IT'LL ACT UP OR EVEN WHEN I'M TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD A CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLOWS DOWN TO TURN AND AFTER THEY TURN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND IT ACTS UP. IT THROWS NO CODES BUT I'M A SITTING DUCK OUT THERE WHEN THIS HAPPENS DUE TO THE EXTREME QUICK LOSS OF POWER. IN MOST CASES OF THIS HAPPENING I USUALLY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC CAUSING UNSAFE CONDITIONS FOR ALL. ITS VERY RANDOM AND UNPREDICTABLE EVIDENT BY IT OCCURRING SEVERAL TIMES IN A WEEK OR NOT AT ALL FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. AS SOON AS THIS ISSUE BEGAN I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED BY MY MECHANIC BUT IT STILL CONTINUED. MY MECHANIC EVEN KEPT MY TRUCK TO DRIVE AROUND AT DIFFERENT TIMES DURING TWO SPERATE WEEKS TO "RE-ENACT" THE ISSUE, BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED. WITHIN A DAY OR TWO OF GETTING IT BACK FROM HIM IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I'VE BEEN TO FORD AND IF YOUR VEHICLE DOESN'T THROW A CODE THEY DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOU, "BUT IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO FOR YOU JUST LET THEM KNOW". THIS IS A HASSLE, UNSAFE SITUATION THAT I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW WITH NO ONE ABLE TO GIVE ME ANY ANSWERS TO FIX THIS. YES, I'VE SEEN AND HEARD THE LIST OF EVERYTHING IT COULD POSSIBLE BE FROM BUMPER TO BUMPER. I NEED A RESOLUTION BECAUSE I'VE EXTINGUISHED ALL OTHER AVENUES.

WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE STOPPED AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. HAD TO COAST TO A SAFE SPOT TO PULL OF THE ROAD. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED THAT THE FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP HAD BLOWN AND MELTED THE FUSE BLOCK WHERE THE FUSE IS INSERTED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AT FORD FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THEIR DEALERSHIPS TO MOVE THE FUEL PUMP FUSE TO A DIFFERENT BLOCK WITHIN THE FUSE PANEL AND INSTALL A FUSE BLOCK THAT WILL HANDLE THE REQUIRED AMPERAGE. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL BY FORD BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE. LOSING COMPLETE POWER, INCLUDING POWER STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITY IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE URGENTLY ADDRESSED BY FORD. THE NHTSA SHOULD FORCE FORD TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET KILLED.

I TOOK MY 2012 F-150 TO BYERS FORD IN DELAWARE,OH. THEY WERE TO PERFORM THE 19S07 RECALL. THEY SAID THEY DID IT. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THAT THE TRUCK SHIFTS VERY QUICKLY INTO FIRST AND THE BRAKES FELT DIFFERENT. THEN SINCE I HAVE PUT 4 BOTTLES OF COOLANT IN IT IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS. OVERHEATING FREQUENTLY AFTER ONLY 15-20 MINUTES OF DRIVING. THEN THE BREAKS DON'T WORK HALF THE TIME AND THE LIGHT COMES ON SERVICE BRAKES, I HAVE THEM CHECKED BY FORD THEY SAY NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. NOW THE TRUCK SHAKES, OVERHEATING FREQUENTLY, BRAKES WORK PART OF THE TIME, WHERE IS THE COOLANT GOING? NO LIQUIDS ON THE GROUND UNDER THE TRUCK BUT IT SMELLS BURNT AND WET IN THE TAILPIPE. NOW BYERS FORD IS SAYING THAT IT IS JUST DUE TO 2 MORE RECALLS, ONE BEING THE VACUUM PUMP AND THE OTHER IS THE TRANSMISSION MODULE, BUT THEY SAY IT SHOULD BE OKAY TO DRIVE, THEY CAN'T GET ME A RENTAL CAR AND THEY CAN'T GET ME IN UNTIL OCTOBER 9TH BUT THEY SAY TO JUST KEEP DRIVING IT WITH MY BREAKS BARELY WORKING HALF THE TIME BECAUSE OF THE VACUUM PUMP AND IT OVERHEATING ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, HAVING TO FILL IT UP WITH COOLANT, LOSS OF POWER, SLUGGISH, MANY RANDOM COMPUTER ISSUES IT SEEMS BUT THEY SAY TO DRIVE IT? MY ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION BOTH OVERHEAT AND MAJOR IS I HAVE NO BREAKS HALF THE TIME, IT SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE OR WANT TO MAKE IT RIGHT AND ADDRESS ALL THE ISSUES THAT THE FIRST RECALL CREATED. THE TRUCK HAD NO PROBLEMS BEFORE THE RECALL AND NOW A BIG MESS THAT IS ABOUT TO BLOW UP THAT NOW HAS 2 MORE ADDITIONAL RECALLS BECAUSE OF THE FIRST ONE.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN IN MAIN LANES OF AN INTERSTATE. THE STALLED ENGINE RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF ALL POWER ASSIST FEATURES INCLUDING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. WE WERE ABLE TO NAVIGATE ACROSS SEVERAL LANES BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP IN A TRAFFIC LANE BUT NOT SAFELY OFF THE INTERSTATE. AFTER CALLING FOR A TOW AND REQUESTED SERVICE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A FUSE POWERING THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP HAD "BURNED" OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SIMPLE SOLUTION, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED THE FUSE PANEL HAD BEEN DAMAGED AND WOULD NO LONGER ACCEPT A FUSE AND HAS TO BE MODIFIED WITH THE FUSE LOCATION MOVED TO A NEW LOCATION AND UPGRADED TO A MORE ROBUST FUSE AND FUSE PLACEMENT SLOT. FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS ONLY ELECTED TO FIX THOSE VEHICLES THAT EXHIBIT FAILURE AND AT THE COST OF THE CONSUMER IF NOT WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO FORD DEALERS MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO MENTION OF THIS PROBLEM OR REPAIR. FORD HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 15-0137) AND HAS CREATED A SPECIFIC REPLACEMENT KIT, WHICH INCLUDES INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL NECESSARY PARTS TO PERFORM THE RELOCATION (MOTORCRAFT # EL3Z-14293-A). THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IMPACTS THE SAFETY OF FORD'S F150 OWNERS, THEIR PASSENGERS AND THOSE THAT SHARE THE ROAD WITH THEM. FAILURE OF ALL POWER ASSIST FUNCTIONS WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS SCARY AND CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THOSE IN THE VEHICLE AND THOSE AROUND IT. IT ALSO CREATES AN EVEN MORE DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THE VEHICLE WAS BEING USED TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION, STALLED AND THEN STOPPED IN THE CENTER OF THE INTERSECTION. INCLUDED ARE PICTURES OF THE FUSE AND THE FUSE BLOCK DAMAGED DURING THE FAILURE AND HONESTLY, A FIRE COULD HAVE EASILY STARTED AS A RESULT OF THIS FAILURE.
