 Description of the problem2006 f-150 fuel control module should be a mandatory safety recall for ford. The 2006 f-150 has a poorly designed fuel module that absolutely will fail over time in rust belt states, producing a loss of power, inability to start or a complete engine stall / loss of control at any speed, including highway speeds. My complaint starts after the first snowstorm this year. The truck was sluggish to accelerate on the highway and it seemed to need more gas pedal just to maintain speed. A few days later i drove up heavily salted roads to a ski area. At the end of the day, the truck would not start without the gas pedal being fully depressed. (first time i have ever had to use the gas pedal to start it.) i got it running for about 2 minutes, then it stalled out while still in park. It took several tries to restart it. I finally got it going again and it performed ok on the 60 mile home trip, some of that at interstate speeds. The next day the truck would not start at all. It would crank, but not turn over. The shop i took it to did the diagnosis and it turned out that it was not bad gas or a clogged fuel line. It was a faulty fuel control module located above the spare tire. This module is flawed not only in design but in placement as well. It is not weatherproof and not even the right type of metal to be exposed to salt, sand and water. It has dissimilar metal from the truss it mounts to, disintegrated over time and i also question ford's supposed fix to the problem (spacers). Http://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=_2e9kmf1_kg it should be completely redesigned with years of rust belt element exposure in mind. You don't want to have an engine stall - ever. (i would have put it inside the cab or under the hood). Why is this not more important than a flawed headlamp?
