NHTSA Complaint #11245841 — 2013 FORD F-150

MY 2013 F150 PLATINUM DIED ON ME WHILE DRIVING, AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED BY DAVID STANLEY FORD IN MIDWEST CITY AND FOUND OUT THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE A FUSE RELOCATION KIT PUT IN TO FIX MY ENGINE FAILURE. I RESEARCHED WHAT THAT WAS, AND FOUND OUT THAT THE FACTORY INSTALLED MINI FUSE RUNNING THE FUEL PUMP CANNOT HANDLE THE AMOUNT OF CURRENT GOING THROUGH IT, AND OVERTIME IT MELTS THE FUSE BOX ITSELF, INSTEAD OF BLOWING THE FUSE, WHICH CAUSES COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. IT IS SUCH A COMMONLY KNOWN ISSUE THAT FORD HAS EVEN ISSUED A TSB EXPLAINING HOW TO FIX AND INSTALL THIS PROBLEM WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED KIT. WHY I AM COMPLAINING IS BECAUSE THIS ISSUE THAT CAUSES DANGEROUS ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AND WHICH LEAVES THE OWNER STRANDED, IS NOT A RECALL WHEN EVEN FORD KNOWS THAT IT IS A FACTORY INSTALLED MALFUNCTION. IT IS 100% A SAFETY ISSUE FOR NOT ONLY THOSE DRIVING 2009-2014 FORD VEHICLES WHERE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO OCCUR, BUT ALSO FOR EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD WHEN YOUR FORD VEHICLE DIES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY.
