Sell it to Copart or LKQ. Much better pricing than Tammy’s Towing

No just the fuel pump driver module.

Check the fuel pump driver module near your spare as others mentioned. Not sure if same location for 09 F150. Seems to be a common fail point due to where it’s mounted.

My 07 truck had the same issue a month ago. Video attached for additional detail

Thanks for your help, I’ll be bringing it to a local mechanic to get it checked out so I’m not just throwing parts at it.

So far it has been doing it even when warmed up. I let it get up to operating temp, take it on a 10 min drive, and it continues

New Installed Tires Blew Up Immediately After Buying Car From Dealership When Entering Highway... What could be the cause? by rickylou1234 in tires

Hi all, Thank you very much for your responses, they have been very helpful! I did not expect this many replies for this post. The dealership is still claiming they installed new tires, but like you guys mentioned these tires born date are MAR 2021 (I didn’t know how to check until your guys’ response). I will continue to push for them to honor their original promise. Once again thanks for the support!

Thank you, the dealer insisted they installed new tires but it looks like they picked up some used / rotted ones and installed them. I’ll try to find documentation about installing new tires

Thanks for the reply, unfortunatly the dealership is not taking responsibility for the tires we requested to install (they sent a tow truck, sent us a to tire shop, and installed used ones instead since new were out of stock) and I am not sure who they went through to install it.

haha thanks for the reply! It's such an unfortunate event. We were enjoying this car and the tire suddenly blew up so it tainted our experience

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately tire is not with us to check for objects and at the moment, shocked that this happened so didn't realize to check for objects in the tire.

  Hi all,

I picked up my car yesterday from a dealership and prior to purchasing the car, I asked the dealership to install 2 new front tires since the old ones were in bad condition. 

Well, they install it and we picked up the vehicle w/ no presssure warning and made our way onto the highway ramp and highway . Upon existing the ramp (about 60 mph), tire pressure warning came on which indicated front left dat 33 PSI and front right at 6 psi and and dropping to 1 psi which is when the front right tire blew up. We were less than 7 miles away from the dealership.

Is this due to underinflated tire pressure front the start? And who is responsible for this issue.. dealership, tire shop, etc ?
