Consumer Description

2013 FORD F-150 WITH THE 5.0 V8 ENGINE THAT HAS 51,000 MILES. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE TRUCK WILL CRANK AS NORMAL BUT WILL NOT START, AS WELL AS LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING. FORD ROAD SIDE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO SUMMERVILLE FORD. FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED THAT A FUSE FORM THE FACTORY WAS TOO SMALL AND WAS OVERHEATING CAUSING THE TRUCK NOT TO START. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THIS IS A KNOWN/COMMON ISSUE, AND THE FIX WAS FOR THEM TO INSTALL A FUSE RELOCATION KIT BY SPLICING INTO THE WIRING IN THE FUSE BOX AS WELL AS INSTALL A LARGER FUSE. OF COURSE THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ENGINEERING/FUSE LOCATION ISSUE AND NOT A WORN OUT PART ISSUE.
