Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE BLACKTOP ROAD AT 35 MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTLY DIED LOSING ALL POWER, INCLUDING STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS OCCURRED AFTER I HAD JUST EXITED A U.S. HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 65 MPH. DUE TO THE FACT THAT I AM A FORMER POLICE DEFENSIVE DRIVING INSTRUCTOR I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO A SIDE STREET. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO TOW A 14,000 LB. FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER AND I AM GLAD IT WAS NOT ATTACHED.. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE STC FITTING. FORD TOLD ME THAT THIS PART HAS A COMMON FAILURE PROBLEM AND IT HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH THE REVISED STC FITTING. MY CONCERM IS THAT FAILURE OF THIS PART WITH AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER ON AN INTERSTATE COULD BE FATAL. THE STC FITTING IS APPARENTLY ATTACHED TO THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL PUMP, AND WHEN IT FAILS YOU LOSE ALL POWER AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RESTART. *TR
