| Description of the problem | While accelerating onto a highway, the vehicle completely lost power and the engine stopped and could not be restarted. Had to coast to a safe spot to pull of the road. After investigating the problem, i discovered that the fuse for the fuel pump had blown and melted the fuse block where the fuse is inserted. This is a known problem at ford for this vehicle and they have issued a technical service bulletin for their dealerships to move the fuel pump fuse to a different block within the fuse panel and install a fuse block that will handle the required amperage. This is a problem that should definitely be a recall by ford because of the nature of the failure. Losing complete power, including power steering and braking capability is a safety issue and should be urgently addressed by ford. The nhtsa should force ford to recall these vehicles and fix this issue before more people get killed. |
