NHTSA Complaint #10535261 — 2005 FORD F-150

OK SO WE BOUGHT A FORD F150 2005 ON FRIDAY OF LAST WEEK WHICH WOULD BE 08/09/2013 . THE MAN ASSURED US THIS WAS A SAFE AND RELIABLE VEHICLE. SO WE START OUR TRIP ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO LOOK AT A NEW HOUSE IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. WE STOPPED IN ARIZONA TO SEE MY GIRLFRIENDS MOM. SUR ENOUGH THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START THE NEXT DAY. WE TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAYS ITS THE FUEL PUMP SO HE CHANGES IT OUT WE DRIVE IT 2 BLOCKS DOWN THE STREET BACK TO HER PARENTS HOUSE TURN OFF THE TRUCK LOAD IT UP WITH OUR STUFF AND IT WILL NOT START AGAIN. SO THE MECHANIC COMES BACK OVER SAYS OK IT MUST BE THE FUEL MODULATOR. SO HE CHANGES OUT THE FUEL MODULATOR AND SURE ENOUGH IT WORKED WE DROVE IT TWO BLOCKS TURNED IT OFF, RELOADED THE TRUCK AGAIN. AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP, APPARENTLY THE NEW MODULATOR KILLED THE BRAND NEW FUEL PUMP WE JUST PAID $500 FOR SO NOW WE HAVE TO GET ANOTHER FUEL PUMP AS WELL. I AM NOT HAPPY AFTER DOING RESEARCH THERE IS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IF ANYTHING LIKE US WE NOW HAVE PAID NEARLY $1000 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT COULD EASILY BE CHANGED BY FORD MOUNTING THE FUEL MODULATE UNDER THE HOOD NEAR THE ENGINE LIKE THE REST OF THE MODULATORS. WOULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS SOON AS YOU CAN THIS IS SO UNCALLED FOR A LOT OF US WORK TO HARD FOR OUR MONEY AND OUR VEHICLES TO HAVE THEM BREAK DOWN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM EVERY TIME WE STOP. INCLUDED IS A LINK TO VIDEO WHERE THE GUY EXPLAINS THE PROBLEM AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM AS WELL. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=_2E9KMF1_KG. *TR
