2016 Ford F-150: fuel pump failure

Filed Jan 13, 2024 · Fuel system · FL

When fueling the Ford F 150, it will not shut off almost all fuel handles and as a result gasoline spews out a couple feet past the fuel pump handle as well as spilling fuel all over the side of the truck. This poses a fire hazard as well as slipping and carcinogen issue. Also, the paint and tires are subjected to deterioration and the vehicle smells of fuel for some time afterwards. I can never completely fill the vehicle without putting my ear up to the truck fill tube. No matter how far back I jump, I always get fuel on my feet, shoes and clothing. I haven't had fuel get in my eyes yet, but it is just a matter of time. Maybe a fuel station has already blown up. I'm sure that won't bee long if it has not already happened.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked and idling, when the contact returned to turn off the vehicle, there was an abnormal gasoline odor surrounding the vehicle. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the local dealer. The contact had an independent mechanic diagnose the vehicle and was advised that a gasoline feeding tube under the driver’s side seat located on the frame was too short for its connection to the fuel pump and to the engine. The independent mechanic informed the contact that the connection was under pressure and was leaking gasoline and could detach from the connector and spray gasoline onto the engine. The contact called a local dealer and provided the dealer with the part number for the hose (FL34-9J278-AE). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

I had my truck towed to auto fair ford and had to have the fuel pump replaced with $100 extended warranty and the car is a year old. After fixing it they were having issues with it not starting and called ford to trouble shoot the issue. Today 3/2/18 they called to say a mouse or rodent chewed through the wiring. I have lived I'm my home since 1999 and many cars in the drive way this has never happened before. My brother said the wiring is soy based. I called liberty mutual insurance and comprehensive has a $500 deductible. They will look at the truck 3/5/18 at auto fair ford in manchester nh. I now have to pay$600 to a vehicle I have owned less then 5 months to auto fair ford. Seems odd this is happing on a new vehicle

Owned 2016 f150 since may 2016. Been in shop 6x now for electrical problems. Replaced fuel pump multiple times, and powertrain control module, still no power from 7 pt. Wiring harness to camper. Apparently others are having the same problem - "I am also having this same problem on my new 2016; no 12v power at the 7 pin trailer plug. I have a dual port 12 volt power adapter that plugs in the 7 pin plug to run 12v accessories like a small air compressor etc. (like this https://www.amazon.ca/reese-towpower...204460_te_item) I just tried it yesterday for the first time and it had no power. I bench tested the adapter and it is working. When looking at the plug at the back of the truck, the negative (-) is at the 1 oclock postion and postive (+) is at the 7 oclock. I put a multi meter on those trailer plug pins with the truck running and no power. On the dash computer I entered that I had my trailer hooked up and still no 12v at those two pins. The turn signals (pins at 9 oclock and 3 oclock respectively) and running lights (pin at 5 oclock) has 12v power.the tech came out with a shop made board they have for checking trailer wiring. With the truck running, trailer connected on the dash and even added a "new" trailer still no power! He plugged in the shop computer and could not see what the problem is. So the dealership it stumped. They will be "calling detroit" to see if they have a solution. So, turn signals work, running lights work, brakes work but not 12v dc. So, if you have a camper, while driving you will not have power for your fridge or interior camper lights, charging camper battery etc.contacted ford, they recommended filing a complaint with you
