I just had to replace my fuel pump due to sudden failure. It was repaired this month at Crossroads Ford of Wake Forest NC. I as well the dealer have the receipts for the repair cost. I believe it should be included in the current recall just issued by Ford and be reimbursed.

My truck stopped in the middle of an intersection and would not crank again. The fuel pump had exploded on the inside and metal shavings were found all throughout my fuel system. The cost to repair my truck was $ 11,867.60 plus tax. From what I have been told, this is an ongoing problem that occurs with this specific fuel pump. I was told from the service manager at the dealership that he sees this problem all the time. I was told from the claim adjuster that this is a problem with all Ford and Chevrolet trucks with diesel engines that use this specific fuel pump. I believe this should be a recall since it is a problem with any diesel that not only Ford but Chevrolet makes. I did file this with my insurance company but it was not covered. My claim # with Farm Bureau is 10000600403. My case # with Ford is CXH-02697972-W5T6Y4. Ford did end up covering half of the cost to repair but I still believe that it should be a recall. If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I was driving, I looked down because my truck was unresponsive, my truck had died, a warning light had come on stating the following: "Auto Start/Stop Shift to P, then Restart Engine". I was on the interstate, in a two lane construction zone, I had to pull over into the construction area, stop my truck, and try and restart. After a minute or two, I was able to restart my truck and re-enter the road way. A very dangerous situation, luckily I did not have my children in the vehicle at the time. I scheduled a service appointment after this and was told it was the fuel pump control module. Unfortunately, it has happened twice since my service appointment... something needs to me done!
The first day I brought it home it was knocking. I took it back and they said it was high volume fuel pump making noise. Then they said it was a recall on cam sensor . They told us if we had it fixed before 90,000 miles it would cost me about 2,000 to repair. But we had a 100,000 mile drive train warranty. So they wouldn’t fix it. When my f150 reach 100,000 miles then the transmission started dropping in to first gear from 10 th gear. Now it hangs up in gear's. Shifts to wrong gears. This issue is very dangerous
