my f250 super duty just completely stopped running while driving down the interstate, i then had the vehicle towed to the ford dealer where i purchased it in 2015. after the shop examination they found that the high pressure cp4 fuel pump had came apart and contaminated the fuel system entirely. The shop forman called and advised me of the problem and that it would cost 16,000.00 to have it fixed. he also advised me the this was a ongoing problem that they have had with this particular fuel pump, and that they had recall on the trucks from 2011 to 2018 for this. but he told me that my vin number was not on the recall list. he said that i would have to pay out of pocket to have the repairs done. I THEN CONTACTED FORD MANUFACTORING about this, the service lady that i spoke to said that there was nothing they could do because my truck was not on the recall list. To me this is a big safety measure, because when it quit, if i haven't been in an area where i was able to get out off the road there could have been a very serious accident. i feel that an issue like this that ford knows they have and continue using the same pumps should be there responsibility. I had know visible or any warnings sign of this was going to happen. this truck i purchased new and have put every mile on it and had this truck service very regularly. i have all the service records, just had the fuel filters and oil changed about 2 weeks before this happened. Thank you for your time. PLEASE ADVISE.

Known Faulty Bosch CP4 fuel pump placed on vehicles with Fords knowledge of the issue. This fuel pump is known to fail and cause thousands of dollars in damage and repair cost. As a good business practice Ford should issue a recall on all vehicles that this faulty fuel pump was installed on

there is a severe fuel leak when the fuel pump is powered on from a fitting on the top of the fuel tank. This is the second time it has happened to me. first instance was supposedly repaired at the dealership who suggested it was a freak occurrence possibly caused by some road trash kicked up but there was no hard evidence either offered or given even though I asked. When the tow truck came to pick up my truck the driver mentioned that this is not an isolated incident that is becoming more common. The potential for a fire and/or explosion is very great in my opinion.

After driving approx 1 mile on surface street leaving work, a grinding noise was heard from fuel pump under vehicle under driver location. After 30 seconds check engine light illuminated and low fuel pressure message appeared in message area. Then reduced power appeared in message window. It happened so quickly that it left me stranded in the middle of the street with traffic on both sides until police came by and assisted. The truck was only able to idle for a minute until it died in the middle of the street. Truck was taken via tow truck to local ford dealer. Once there diesel tech cleared codes and stated they could not find anything wrong.

The truck seemed to be running out of gas, surged, sputter, surge sputtered then quit running. I had 1/2 a tank. Had to cost the truck a crossed speeding traffic lanes and came to a stop on an over pass. Had the truck towed to the dealer. The dealer findings were a problem with the fuel pump and controller. The dealer stated when they enter the check engine code (p0627) into their wan, they shortly had a call from ford engineering wanting the parts returned to them and with instructions not to replace them with the same part number. It seems this was a known issue and had been flagged in their network by ford engineering. It seems this issue was unknown by the dealership. It bothers me greatly that this issue is known by ford engineering but the dealers are selling new trucks with this known defect. The new truck has sat at the dealer for three weeks because the controller part is not available.
