I bought truck about 2 years ago took to ford to have tranny flush on it asked them about the ticking noise coming from engine they told me that it was normal on the 5.4 triton about a week ago the ticking got louder and looked up problems and found that there is a design flaw in engine that causes cam phasers fail nd oil pressure drops to zero ford knows about problem but whn you call they tell you that you need to replace the engine well looked up forums and people who have replaced the motor had same problems with it later on yesterday I was driving taking my 2 daughters to school when all of a sudden the engine shut off I lost brakes and steering. The truck behind me had to lock up its brakes to keep from hitting me and my kids so I am writing you to see if you can look into this my kids were so scared the truck slowed instantly when the engine failed I had my friend tow it back to my house where I checked the cam sensors and changed them and did not start still does not start now there are 1000's of people on forums talking about this is it going to take someone getting killed before ford owns up to there problems they are ignoring and having the consumer pay aywhere from 3500- 8000 dollars to repair this I first asked when I bought truck with 81,000 miles on it

Truck wouldn't start. Upon further inspection found the fuel pump driver module failed due to corrosion. The part was bolted to the cross member on the back of the frame. The bottom of the part is aluminum and the cross member is steel, and they were bolted flush together. Replaced the part and truck works fine. I would like ford to acknowledge that they have an issue with this and reimburse all parties who have had this problem.01

Truck wouldn't start. Had to be towed to dealer. Problem was corroded fuel pump driver module. New part cost $195.07 and labor was $285.00. Going on line to see what was done, the labor charges seem very excessive! This issue looks to be very widespread and should be a recall by ford.

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.

I started my truck after washing it, it was running rough so I shut it off and tried to restart it and it would not start. After having it towed to a repair garage the technician discovered the fuel module was bad, and had to be replaced it. After looking on line I found out that this is a common problem with these trucks from 2004-2008 models. Sounds like a poor design.

Went to start truck at home and it would not start. Engine would turn over, but would not start. I had vehicle towed to the ford dealership. Told by the ford service manager that it probably was the fuel control module located by the rear spare tire and they have replaced many of them. The ford dealership confirmed it and replaced the fuel control module. My cost $312.83. We average 160 inches of snow per year. Long winters and lots of salt.

I was driving down a township road and my truck just shut off with no warning and would not start again had to get it towed luckily I wasn't on a bigger road or else it could have been a serious accident didn't know my truck just shut down in the middle of the road at first. It ended up being the fuel pump driver module which was put right on the frame and it causes corrosion if the part is that important to where it just makes your truck shut off it shouldn't be where it is. I feel these should be recalled before there is a serious accident.
