NHTSA Complaint #11257118 — 2014 FORD F-150

ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH ME AND 1 OCCASION WITH A FORD SERVICE TECH. (ALL OF WHICH OCCURRED BETWEEN THE DATES OF SEPT 13 AND 18, 2019) MY F150 ENGINE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING. MY FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE ONTO INTERSTATE 24 IN CHATTANOOGA,TN. SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY AFTERNOON TRAFFIC ON US HWY 27 IN ROSSVILLE, GA. BOTH TIMES I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO SIDE OF THE ROAD OR PARKING LOT TO RE START VEHICLE. AFTER EACH OCCURENCE I TOOK VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC TO CHECK VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME WAS A LOCAL SHOP DUE TO KNOW DEALERSHIPS CLOSE BY, SECOND TIME I WAS CLOSE TO MTN VIEW FORD IN CHATTANOOGA, TN. AFTER TROUBLE SHOOTING AND VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF ON THE TECHNICIAN, THEY WERE ABLE TO TRACE THE USE DOWN THAT IS PICTURED. THE TRUCK DID NOT LEAVE ANY ERROR CODES OR INDICATIONS TO ISSUE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT CAUSING THE IMMEDIATE ISSUE IT WAS RUNNING FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS INDICATED. THE TECHNICIAN DID INDICATE TO ME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THAT HE WAS AWARE OF. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED INTO A RECALL DUE TO THE DANGER THAT I ENCOUNTERED WITH THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE ON INTERSTATE AND MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH NO INDICATIONS OF ISSUES. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT FORD ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT THEIR AUTOMATED SYSTEM DOES NOT OFFER A PATH TO REPORT ISSUES.I WAS TOLD THAT THIS FUSE IS THE ONE FOR THE FUEL PUMP. MDF
