“I was driving down the highway and as I was making a right hand turn my motor turned off. I had no steering and little brakes to get me off the road. I took the truck to my mechanic and he told me the fuel module was cracked. This is common on f150's and I feel Ford should have a recall on this before someone gets hurt. Thanks”
NHTSA complaint #10627873, filed 2014-08, 44,560 miles“Engine makes a knocking noise. I was told by a Ford dealer that they can't repair it because Ford doesn't know what is wrong with the engine. I was told by Ford dealer to drive it till it quits. The engine could lock up at any time, possibly on the highway which could cause an accident to occur. I called Ford customer service and was told there was nothing they can do.”

Spark plugs were the factory plugs and as I bought the truck new their is no way that they have ever been changed and improperly torqued as the Ford dealer told me after it happened.
