Truck was parked hooked to a camper when I tried to start the truck it would not start. Had to tow the truck to the ford dealer they told me it was the fuse that overheated they would have to replace it with a fuse kit. The dealer said it was not covered under my extended warranty but I did however see an article in cars.com stating that ford was replacing this free of charge. It seems to me that ford is aware of this fuse that overheats and in fact sells a fuse kit that relocates this fuse at a charge of $480 but I'm sending this survey hoping to overturn this. According to other ford owners this issue has occurred while driving and seems very unsafe I was fortunate enough to be parked and just inconvenienced.

When slowing down (at an intersection for example) to make a turn the vehicle dies and makes it very, very difficult to turn because the power steering does not work. I have almost gotten into two accidents because of not being able to stay in my lane during the turn. I have never seen a truck so difficult to turn when the engine is not running. Additionally, the truck will not start after fueling. I had the truck towed the first time it happened and the ford dealer (madison county ford in richmond, ky) said it was a transmission problem. The first time I put fuel in the truck, it would not start. It sat a couple of days and started. The engine was stopping just as it did before. Took it back to the same ford dealer and they said they had diagnosed the problem properly. I spend $2,216 on what they said the problem was and it was still doing the same thing. The paramount issue is when the truck dies while driving and it can't be steered properly.

Ford f-150 will not start intermittently. The engine cranks but will not start. The issue has been identified with fuse #27 over heating but not blowing. Fuse #27 is the fuse for the fuel pump diver module. The engine has not died on me while in motion though there are multiple other instances of individuals who have had their vehicle die on them. (https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-c21953_ds740770) I worry that I won't be so lucky as to have the issue only happen while parked and it only be an inconvenience. Ford has issued a tsb for 2009-2014 f-150s, tsb 15-0137 to relocate the fuse. I recommend the federal safety agency order ford to recall of all trucks possibly affected so this does not create an accident in the future.

My truck cranks but won't start. The fuse to the fuel pump relay was blown. I understand this is a problem with many truck owners and ford is offering a bypass kit for this system for $400-$500. Shouldn't this be a recall if they're having to install a bypass kit?

The 20 amp fuse for the fuel pump is melting in the fuse block. This is all over the internet and is a known problem by ford dealers. This 2010 year is the problem everyone is having. Ford has yet to have a recall but with all the problems it is not going to long until someone is stranded and they bypass the fuse and start a fire. Ford does need to address this problem .I do not have any pictures of mine I changed over the weekend but there is plenty on line that is how we found why my truck would not start. It is only a matter of time before a fire may start from this melting of the fuse block.

The truck has had this issue since I've purchased the truck but can never duplicate the issue while at the dealership. The 1st time the engine would crank but would not fire. The second time, I was driving and the truck just stopped. I was lucky enough some passing by motorist helped to push it out of the intersection. 3rd time, the truck was parked and did not start. After troubleshooting the issue, the fuel pump relay fuse burned out. Normally fuses just pop, this one just burned out to where I could not take out the fuse. Took the truck to was bought at and after a few hours, the problem was located. The shop foreman stated that they have had alot of trucks go in with the same issue. Only reason I making a complaint is due to that comment. It is a safety issue when I was driving and truck shuts off in the middle of the intersection. What if my sons were with me? Hope this gets resolved and a recalled is made before something worse happens to someone else. Thank you.

I was driving along the highway, at approximately 60 MPH, attempting to pass another vehicle. When I pressed on the accelerator it got stuck, the gas pedal went to the floor and truck accelerated rapidly on it's own. I mashed the brakes to the floor and the engine continued to rev and over power the brakes. I put my truck in neutral, and after an abrupt jerk, I pulled over to the far lane as the tires screeched to a stop. There was no shoulder and there were guard rails blocking me from getting to the median and no exits nearby, all the while the truck is continuing to rev out. I shut my truck off with the key, as soon as I could, to avoid damaging the engine or transmission due to the high rpms. After we sat, stopped, on the far lane of the highway for about 30 seconds (cars flying by honking) I tried to start the truck back up and it wouldn't start, turned it over again and it started. Obviously, this was a very dangerous situation, as we were on a 4 lane highway with traffic going 60+ MPH all around us, my wife and 2 small children were in the truck at the time. There should be some kind of brake override for an unintended and out of control acceleration like what we experienced. I woke up the next morning with a crick in my neck, hopefully it's just stress and not an actual injury. I'm thankful no one was seriously hurt. Ford, you need to do something about this before someone gets injured, or worse.
