Consumer Description

MY FUEL PUMP MODULE SHORTED OUT. IT HAD BECOME CORRODED. THERE WAS A MELTING OF PLASTIC PARTS IN THE MODULE. I COULD SMELL THE PLASTIC BURNING BEFORE THE UNIT FAILED. THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING FINE AND THEN SUDDENLY DIED WHEN THE MODULE FAILED. FORTUNATELY, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A SMALL TOWN WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I FEEL FORD SHOULD BE PERFORMING A RECALL ON THESE MODULES. IT'S A VERY POOR DESIGN. I ALSO FEEL THAT THE TRUCK OWNERS SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THE REPAIRS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE. *TR
