NHTSA Complaint #11163387 — 2010 FORD F-150

VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING. MECHANICS AT FORD ADVISED THAT IT WAS RELAY WIRE OR HARNESS WIRES FOR THE AIRBAG SENSORS THAT RAN THROUGH THE FUEL TANK WERE CORRODED OR SHORTED OUT. THEY REPORTED THAT THE ENGINEERS AT FORD MADE A BAD CALL WHEN THEY DECIDED TO RUN THE WIRES THROUGH THE FUEL TANK, WHICH IN TURN RESULTED IN ME HAVING TO DISH OUT 1500 BUCKS FOR THE REPAIR. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES PRIOR TO THE REPAIR ON A TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 53000 MILES AT THE TIME, BETWEEN DURING MARCH OR APRIL OF 2014 WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE USED TRUCK. LOST ALL POWER AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND ON SEVERAL ROAD TYPES INCLUDING HIGHWAY, HIGHWAY SERVICE ROAD, RESIDENTIAL STREET AND FARM TO MARKET ROAD, WHILE GOING STRAIT AND DURING TURNS, AFTER MULTIPLE EVENTS AND HAVING PUT LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT, I TOOK IT UP TO FORD. GRATEFUL THAT NO ACCIDENTS OCCURED DURING THE EPISODES I EXPERIENCED. I WAS ABLE TO COMETO A STOP, PLACE THE TRUCK IN PARK AND RESTART IT. TTINCE THE REPAIR NO ISSUES. LOVE THE F SERIES PICK UPS AND HAVE OWNED SEVERAL OVER A SPAN OF 18 YEARS AND ITS ALL MY DADS COMPANY USES. I KNOW ITS BEEN ALMOST 4 YEARS SINCE HAVING THE ISSUE BUT FELT LIKE I NEEDED TO SAY SOMETHING TO AT LEAST GIVE OTHERS A HEAD UP OR WARNING. NEVER SET WELL WITH ME. I STILL HAVE THE REPAIR PAPERWORK IF NEEDED.
