Description of the problem	Ford f150 xlt 2006 should have a mandatory safety recall for the fuel control module. This is clearly a design defect and a major safety concern. I was driving down vt116 (a hilly, winding 2 lane country highway with no shoulder) in the rain at about 40mph when my truck started to buck and lose power. There was no place to pull over, so i put my hazards on and tried to limp it to a safe place to pull over. The engine stalled and i lost steering and braking power on a curve. I applied the brakes manually and wrestled the steering wheel (which no longer had any power assist). With major difficulty, i was able to bring the truck to a controlled stop. I was then able to restart the engine, limped along at 15mph, bucking and stalling 3 more times before getting to a safe place to pull over. This is the second time i have had my fcm replaced (prior was 1/5/2013) and the second time i almost crashed my truck because of this defect. The previous time was january 2013 on a mountain road in winter on snow. If i was towing my boat on the interstate and lost all power, i would probably have been killed along with anyone around me. Why is it a design defect? Because this electronic component is installed in a weather-exposed area above the spare tire and is not corrosion-proof. In any rust belt state (or a place exposed to salt), the case will corrode, exposing the circuit board to water, causing the unit to fail. Why is it a safety concern? Because when the fcm fails, the engine will stall, causing a loss of power to the steering and braking systems. Nhtsa should force ford to do a mandatory recall and redesign this poorly designed part. Even the replacement parts fail after a few years. Considering how many f150's are on the road and how many of them carry or tow heavy loads, i'd say this should be a top priority for both ford and nhtsa. Recall!

What is Failure?
