My F150 will run great until it warms up and then it will run rough, shows low oil pressure, and stalls at stops and while driving at low speeds. I have taken it to two mechanics and have spent thousands of dollars without fixing this problem. This has been an ongoing issue and started in Sept. 2022

Vehicle unexpectantly stalled while traveling 30 MPH causing partial loss of control of steering and braking ability. I was able to pull vehicle to side of road. Failed to restart vehicle initially. After several attempts, vehicle restarted. Was able to drive to dealer one block away with several stalls, restarts. Check engine light was on. Lochen ford in newburg, wi diagnosed a failed fuel driver module. Replaced at a cost of $350 on 3/29/16. After searching online, this is not an uncommon failure with this vehicle. Failure of part is due to accelerated corrosion of part itself due to poor design and mounting. Modifications have since been made to lessen the chance of failure. This is certainly of concern since stalling of the engine at all speeds is a safety issue. I suspect thousands, if not millions of these popular trucks are affected. This should be recalled by ford, but to my knowledge, has not.

Vehicle would stall at slow speed and severe rattling and loss of power to vehicle which could easily result in accident. Ford service indicated that it was cam phasing or otherwise known as intake camshaft position timing over retarded problem. Very dangerous condition which should be addressed via recall.

I was driving in the city at a 20mph road and I made a left turn then accelerated and all of a sudden the truck stalled but kept going straight forward until it completely stopped. Thankfully I was headed towards the sidewalk and not to incoming traffic or I would have easily been in an accident. The engine light came on and when I checked it, it came up as the fuel level sensor. So I took the gas tank down and revised it but it seems to be in new shape with maybe a little play in the sensor so I bought a new one because I cant risk to get in an accident. On top of that I replaced the fuel control module that was corroded due to fords lack of placement on a frame. Thankfully I wasn't injured or ford would have never heard the last of me. These new trucks cant be trusted anymore with your life and all these cheap material parts.
