The fpdm was going bad. The truck would shut off in the middle of driving. Twice it died while turning and I couldn't steer. Once almost had me in the back of a parked car. This cost me over 300 dollars to fix. It's only going bacd because the are mounted to the steel gram and the aluminum backing on the fpdm is pitting and water is getting in. This problem also made it difficult to start, and messed with my mpg.
2010 Ford F-150 fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 58, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving on the highway the engine shut off. Upon inspection, fuse #27 burned out instead of blowing. This fuse controls the fuel pump, and when it burned up the fuel pump lost power at highway speed. Upon research it is a very common problem with the 2009-2014 year models and ford issued a tsb but not a recall. I hadn't known about this when purchasing the truck used, and it is a very serious safety issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the fuel pump fuse was melted. The mechanic installed a new fuse. The contact stated that the manufacturer issued technical service bulletin number: 15-0137 regarding the failure. Childre ford (1207 s harris st, sandersville, ga 31082, (478) 552-8200) was contacted and ordered a part specifically for the repair. The manufacturer was contacted and developed a special remedy for the failure. The contact was concerned that the fuse panel was damaged and could cause the engine to shut off, loss of power steering, and a possible crash. The failure mileage was 204,000.
Fuse block melting vehicle started ok. After traveling approx. 10 minutes I stopped turned vehicle off. Upon returning to vehicle it failed to start. I then had vehicle towed to a ford dealer. Ford dealers diagnosed it needed a fuse relocation kit tsb 15-0137 parts and labor approx. $350.00
Fuse 27 had failed turning off the vehicle. Refer to tsb no. 15-0137 but ford has not recalled
1. I am not alone in a complaint about the fuel canister being a problem on the f150- I have complained about this twice now- others in the forum are doing the same. The vapor canister in the engine compartment becomes faulty and the engines stall or runs rough- when it stalls, it is impossible to steer. I grew up without power steering- 97$ out of pocket- dealer couldn't figure it out- had another mechanic diagnose and repair. It's a simple fix- yet can be dangerous if someone with strong arm strength cannot turn the vehicle or use the breaks. This has to be looked at.! I should have been reimbursed! Waiting for someone to get killed is inexcusable- happened with just 35k miles on truck. 2. Seems ford has a mega defect with bad design on their f150 power rear windows with the heat grids going bad- this happened at maybe the same time, and unless I spend 1000 dollars, I have no rear-window defogging- this was nearly a 50k vehicle, and just started to fall apart after the warranty. This is a bad design- if ice and all in the south, many do not have the preparations for this (I grew up in the north). I still can't defrost my rear window), but have a scraper 3. High mount brake light- seems, ford refuses to fix a bad design for faulty high mount third brake light- cheap gasket will fade, and many of use (myself recently) have problems with water dripping inside the cab- 100 plus bucks for a new one? Can't even buy the gasket?? And let's add to the fact the lights are so badly designed, they collect grime/crap and just look like yup. (biggest concern is ruining the interior with water- I had a lot of wet recently- f150 forum is plastered with these problems. The fuel canister making the vesicle stall is dangerous. And I feel ford should address this. (they don't seem to care about improving the other issues in 2018. Shame- no quality!~
Vehicle would stall at random while driving. Mechanics at ford advised that it was relay wire or harness wires for the airbag sensors that ran through the fuel tank were corroded or shorted out. They reported that the engineers at ford made a bad call when they decided to run the wires through the fuel tank, which in turn resulted in me having to dish out 1500 bucks for the repair. This issue occurred multiple times prior to the repair on a truck with less than 53000 miles at the time, between during march or april of 2014 when I first purchased the used truck. Lost all power at various speeds and on several road types including highway, highway service road, residential street and farm to market road, while going strait and during turns, after multiple events and having put less than 1000 miles on it, I took it up to ford. Grateful that no accidents occured during the episodes I experienced. I was able to cometo a stop, place the truck in park and restart it. Ttince the repair no issues. Love the f series pick ups and have owned several over a span of 18 years and its all my dads company uses. I know its been almost 4 years since having the issue but felt like I needed to say something to at least give others a head up or warning. Never set well with me. I still have the repair paperwork if needed.
11/29/18 will be the 6th time my engine shut off when coming to a stop and making a turn. Other 5 incidents were about 3 years ago. Each occasion, slowing down to a stop, engine shuts off while making a turn, and I put it in neutral while pressing brakes, starts up, and I keep going down the road. 122k miles, love the truck but this has me very concerned for my family riding in the truck. I looked up any recalls but did not find anything regarding this. F-150 forums have the exact same incidents and when taking to ford dealership, they cannot find anything wrong. Please let me know my options of getting ford to do something.
Ive had the same problem now twice in a row with the fuel pump 20a fuel in the fuse box under the hood getting hot and melting then blowing the fuse. This fuse if it hadn't blown would have caught the fuse box on fire. Ford makes a kit to bypass the tiny fuse to relicate it to a larger fuse in an open spot. There are multiple others in numerous forums who state they have had the same problem. Ford has never issued a recall for this issue that can turn bad if the fuse does not pop.
Engine cranks but does not start one morning. Found fried fuel pump fuse was the issue. Not a blown fuse. A fried fuse. Blackened and charred.
Run out of gas gas guage reading is 50 mile to go all when engen get hot making kocking nosie
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford f-150. After filling up the vehicle with fuel, the vehicle failed to restart. The contact attempted to start the vehicle for approximately 45 minutes before finally succeeding. The contact stated that the same failure occurred approximately six other times after the vehicle was refueled. The vehicle was not diagnosed by the dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic where it was determined that the 20 amps fuel relay fuse and the high power relay were damaged and needed replacement. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000.
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?
After refueling vehicle will be hard to start, after repeated attempts and using gas pedal to force an idle it will start, problem only occurs again after refueling. This is coupled with sudden engine cut off at low speeds. Dealer is clueless as to a fix for either. I consider the sudden shut off to be a major safety issue, particularly driving in mountains as I do.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the fuel field inlet indicator illuminated. Five days later, the check engine indicator illuminated. The local dealer (all star ford 3800 century way pittsburgh, ca 94565) was called and informed the contact that the fuel field inlet failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or repaired. The manufacturer stated that enough complaints had not been filed on that component to create a recall, and offered no further assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.
When truck has 1/4 or less fuel in the fuel tank it stalls and there is lost power. Mostly happens when coming to a stop and when I make a turn after taking my foot from accelerator to brake . This is dangerous because all braking and steering is lost .while looking on the web there were many complaints about this .
Fuel pump relay fuse melted. 2010 f-150 2 wd v8, was driving and pulling a trailer (within the vehicle's parameters weight wise, I.e. Not overloaded, and in fact it continued with the empty trailer) and the truck began stalling randomly, usually when going up a hill. This is very dangerous as I was hauling valuable horses up hilly roads at the time. I had it repaired at a local dealership (crain ford, little rock, arkansas 501‑570‑3737) which involved moving the fuse to a different spot. It seems to be acting up again after less than a week. I paid a lot of money to "fix" it and it needs to stay fixed!
My son was driving the truck with my older son also in the cab. My son that was driving noticed that the truck was losing speed and that nothing was happening when he pushed on the accelerator. He put the truck in park and smoke began filling the cab. They got out of the truck in a hurry and ran. The truck exploded 3 seconds later and burned completely. We are not certain what caused the fire, but it appears to be the fueling system
Our 2010 ford f-150 platinum truck caught fire while my husband was driving he had to jump out of the car to survive. It looks like the gas tank caught on fire and the entire truck was engulfed in flames and completely burned up in a few seconds. I have pictures of the burned out truck and a video of the last part of the fire.
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.
2010 ford f150 with just over 60,000 miles. While driving, the vehicle fails and the engine shuts down entirely. This happens intermittently when the truck comes to a stop, but has also happened while driving casually at approximately 45 MPH on city streets. This has happened multiple times. Personal investigation has LED to finding numerous reports online of the same or worse problems with this model/year of ford truck. Research has lead to show that there seems to be a factory issue with the fuel/air system on the vehicle. Numerous other reports online of the truck failing while driving and even causing accidents in some instances. This is a very serious safety issue as it endangers the lives of those in this vehicle as well as others on the roadway. A recall needs to be implemented immediately by the manufacturer to rectify this wrongdoing.
2010 ford f150 stalls when going slow, and turning left. The oil light came on and I lost all power I had to put in park and restart. Took about 5 tries for the truck to restart. It did the same thing again about five minutes later while making another left turn. Also, died when I was sitting at a light preparing to turn right.
The truck misses at an idle and we also had to have the drive shaft replaced.
Bought a used 2010 f-150 supercrew 4x4 5.4l 3v engine with 38,600 miles on it, first week it drove fine. But then. It stalled for the first time, and continued to do so, finally got a engine light, and replaced o2 sensors, didn't help, now dealership doesn't know what to fix!!! So scary and dangerous!! Please force action! This vehicle is extremely dangerous. Stalls out/engine shuts off while driving!!!!!!! Loses power steering, and all control!!! Absolutely dumbfounded that this hasn't seen a recall with so many similar occurrences!!! So disappointed! I'm scared to death to drive my new car.
The vehicle stalled when coming to a stop and when slowing to make a sharp turn causing the engine to stop and loose braking and steering. The vehicle was taken to the ford dealer at a cost of $820.25 to replace part # 8f9z 9f472 e sensor hego, on the first visit which did not correct the problem, on the next visit to the dealer part # 8f9z 9e730 g sensor hego and part # 9l3z 9e730 g valve asy fuel vapour were replaced which corrected the problem. The vehicle stalled when approaching stop sings and when slowing to make a sharp turn on highways with heavy traffic behind my vehicle causing loss of brakes and steering. I have the invoices in my possession but am unable to upload.
Exhaust manifolds are rusting off very bad .big flakes .I don't even drive truck in winter .I called ford and gote no help.
I live in a metropolitan area where there is always a high volume of traffic and losing power of a vehicle is a dangerous situation. Driving in 5:00 rush hour traffic and accelerating from a red light when my ford truck entered into a "limp home" mode (wrench icon and oil lamp appeared) it stalled out. I was able to coast into a parking lot even though I had no power steering or brakes. Eventually, I was able to start my vehicle. My truck drove fine but now and then had a hesitation to start. About a week later, it stalled again; this time it did not start. I was a block from my office and we pushed it back. I had it towed to a local shop and was told it was the fuel pump. I work in outside sales and had to have it replaced $700. The truck drove ok for about a month, but still hesitated on starting. In june, once again it stalled. I took it back to the shop and they could find nothing wrong. July 9th, I was driving about 55 MPH when I came to a signal light and stopped. The light turned green, I begin my left hand turn and the truck stalled. I had it towed to ford dealer. They are saying that now it is the fuel pump battery junction box, another $2500 and it will take after labor day before I get my truck back because there are no parts available!!! Rent a car for 2 months on top of that!!!
Leaving red light, truck stalled. Oil light came on, lost power steering, brake. Was able to coast at an angle to the side. Could have caused an accident or traffic jam. Put truck in park, waited a minute, turned back on and gave it gas. Ran fine after that. Took to dealership next day. They said would not be any way to know what happened without pulling engine apart. Suggested multi point inspection and tune up. Did not mention this issue occurring previously or the numerous complaints of this issue online. They found a dusty air intake sensor that could have caused the problem. Changed spark plugs and performed tune up & oil change. Incident happened again leaving gas station pump on dec 29, 2014. When restarted, it cranked several times but wouldn't fire up. Tried 3 times before successful start. Ran fine after that. Afraid a stall at high speed or when pulling my horse and trailer will cause major accident. Have seen complaints of fuel purge valve or throttle body butterfly valve causing this. Needs to be addressed by ford.
Accelerator stuck to floorboard. Applied maximum braking until brakes faded and were no longer effective in deceleration. Turned off ignition and coasted to the curb. After 3-5 minutes, restarted the engine and vehicle functioned normally. Purchased this truck used and this was the first time the accelerator was applied fully. It will be the last.
