fuel pump has failed, vehicle shut off while driving, ford dealership has confirmed failed fuel pump under the 25s75 recall, check engine light illuminated with fault code P008A (fuel system low pressure) fault code moments prior to vehicle shutting off, vehicle would not restart
Fuel pump failed while driving causing vehicle to be disabled in a roadway blocking traffic. The vehicle was then incapable of shifting to neutral so that it could be moved out of the roadway. A Ford dealer confirmed the faulty fuel pump and replaced the part. Ford appears to know this is a safety issue as per recall campaign 25S75/25V455 but they have refused to pay for the replacement fuel pump.
My husband was driving on the highway with my two daughters in the car when the vehicle stopped driving and he was barely able to pull off the road. It appears to be a defective low-pressure fuel pump. This is an active recall for this model and year, however Ford says that our specific VIN was not involved in the recall. My family could have been killed in this incident!
We broke down because the fuel pump broke, which has a recall out there. We had stopped at Buc-ee’s for a break and when we got back to the truck, it wouldn’t start back up. We got it fixed at Banner Ford and were forced to pay $1822.50 for a fix that a known recall is out for that they claim there’s no remedy for. But, then you’re telling me you can fix it for $1800. It makes no sense that we have to pay for something that there’s a recall for. We are just trying to get our money back.

On June 20, 2026, my 2021 Ford F-150 5.0L V8 suddenly lost engine power while I was driving on the freeway. The vehicle became disabled and had to be towed. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Ford dealership on June 23, 2026, where it remains. The dealership inspected the vehicle and confirmed that it is affected by Ford Recall 25S75 / the federal safety agency Recall 25V455 and advised that there is currently no available repair or remedy for the fuel pump issue. Ford Customer Service has also opened a case regarding the vehicle and provided a loaner vehicle, but no repair or estimated date for a remedy has been provided. The sudden loss of engine power while traveling on the freeway created a significant safety hazard. The vehicle could no longer maintain normal speed or acceleration, creating a risk of being struck by other vehicles traveling at highway speeds and a risk to surrounding motorists. Ford's recall identifies this fuel pump issue as capable of causing an engine stall while driving. The vehicle remains at the Ford dealership and is available for inspection upon request. To my knowledge, it has not been inspected by police or an insurance representative. There were no known warning symptoms prior to the failure; the vehicle was operating normally until it suddenly lost engine power on June 20, 2026. The failure is particularly concerning because the recalled component appears to have failed in the exact manner described in the recall, leaving the vehicle disabled while driving. Ford currently has no available remedy, and the vehicle remains unrepaired at the dealership.
The contact's son owns a 2021 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the owner attempted to start the vehicle; however, the vehicle failed to start. The owner replaced the battery, and the vehicle was towed to the dealer and was diagnosed with a fuel pump failure. The contact was informed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that parts were unavailable for the repair. Additionally, the owner was informed that the repair could be paid for out-of-pocket and a request for reimbursement could be made when parts became available. The owner declined to pay out of pocket for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer requested that the vehicle be removed from the dealer lot. The vehicle was towed to an alternative dealer for storage because the vehicle was inoperable. The owner then received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 25V455000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and two cases were filed. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.

I don't know how long these usually take, but this recall - Manufacturer Recall Number25S75 the federal safety agency Recall Number25V455 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete, remedy not yet available My truck runs rough at times which I believe is a direct result from the fuel pump on this recall, and it doesn't give me much confidence on my daily driver truck, especially going on long trips. I don't know if this message carries any weight in the timeline on this recall, but I would really like this fixed soon so I don't have a stall incident with my family in the vehicle.
Fuel Pump Failed. Ford has stopped sale on the Fuel Pump because of recall 25S75. I need a fuel pump to operate my vehicle. Ford has offered no solution.
