Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 35 MPH AND SIMPLY STOPPED RUNNING. VEHICLE COULD NOT BE RE-STARTED. TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC TESTED THE FUEL SYSTEM AND DETERMINED THE FUEL PUMP HAD BURNED OUT. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $552.05. ONE DAY AFTER REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ACTIVATED AND THE CODE REVEALED A FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME REPAIR SHOP. THE FUEL PRESSURE WAS OPERATING AT 90 PSI. AFTER SEVERAL UNSUCCESSFUL VISITS, IT WAS EVENTUALLY DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE WAS SEVERELY CORRODED AND MALFUNCTIONING. THE "POT" METAL HAS BEEN COMPLETELY CORRODED AND THERE IS AN APPROXIMATE 1 INCH DIAMETER HOLE LEADING DIRECTLY TO THE ELECTRIC PANEL. THE CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED FOR AN ADDITIONAL $399.89. THE DESIGN OF THIS MODULE USING "POT" METAL AND SIMPLY BOLTING TO THE STEEL AXLE IS RIDICULOUS. THIS ITEM SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL WITHIN THE "SALT BELT" AREAS OF NORTH AMERICA. I HAVE DOCUMENTED RECEIPTS FROM THE REPAIR SHOP AND HAVE KEPT THE ORIGINAL FUEL MODULE AS WELL. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE AS AN OBVIOUS RE-CALL ITEM AND BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSOCIATED REPAIR BILLS. *TR
