| Description of the problem | Vehicle fuel pump shuts off while driving due to fuel pump fuse (location #27) burning up in fuse box. After my vehicle shutting down while driving several times, last on the highway, with a total loss of power steering and other safety concerns, i found ford has issued a tsb (tsb 15-0137) with a work around fuse relocation. This is unsatisfactory as this is a known issue to ford, but not the consumer, putting drivers at risk. The fuse at issue, location #27, literally melted and burned up in the socket. |
