Consumer Description

While responding my personal vehicle to a motor vehicle collision (volunteer first responder) my 2017 f250 lost all power at 70+ miles an hour on a highway. Power steering and power brakes were not functioning and caused a delay in service to the community. Mechanic diagnosed it as a contaminated fuel system from the problematic Bosch CP4 pump, which Ford is well aware of. They even have a “kit” to fix this issue costing well over $6,000. This is a major safety issue when all power is lost especially if towing trailers.
