About time we got 5 minutes from home the truck just cut off, I thought we were out of gas, but we had 1/4 of a tank. This not good, me & my wife just came from Kemah on Easter Sunday and thank God we made it back off the highway. I love Expeditions - this is my third - but holy cow when something breaks, you better have a full wallet. Pump had to be ordered and may or may not be here today, if it is, I may or may not get the car back tonight.or maybe tomorrow morning. Ouch!! Said they would need to siphon off all the gas I'd just bought to be able to lift the gas tank to get to the pump apparently this is not a pretty fix for the guys in the shop. They called me that afternoon and said it would be $340 for labor and $472 for the pump.$812 total. My husband came with his flat bed trailer, and the next day brought it to the Ford dealer where I bought it. Oil light came on and power steering left me I made it to the side of the road but not in a very safe place.

Called my husband on my cell and said 'I think the car's dying' and it did about 5 minutes later. Power came back for a minute or two and then all of it repeated. Going up a hill all of a sudden lost power, heard a 'thunk' noise and RPMs shot up. Just filled the tank before work at 8 am, then headed home about 4:15 pm. I am checking on this as there should have been a recall notice from Ford on this.

The mechanic mentioned that we were lucky because it was very dangerous when the problem started, and the fuel pump could have burned and blown up and it could have been fatal. The mechanic gave the old fuel pump back because the old one had the connections melted where the plastic wire entered the fuel pump, and there was burned discoloration. We went to the Ford dealer got the fuel pump and the got it changed by our mechanic. The mechanic check the car out and found out it was the fuel tank. After that while driving to the auto shop the car died again and would not start at all, so had to get it towed to the auto shop. After waiting for help about 10 minutes, tried to start the car it started and drove home dropped of the family about 5 miles. Also checked the line and fuses, they were good. There was enough fuel in the car (above 1/4 tank) but the care would not start. On the main road while driving the car started to hesitate and seemed like it would stop then about a minute later the car died. We were going shopping with the family and in laws in the car. Replaced the fuel pump on my Ford Expedition EL.
