I have a 2005 jayco 30ft. Motorhome with a 2005 Ford E-450 chassis and the 6. 8l v-10 engine. I am on a trip from georgia to vermont with this unit and am towing a 2008 Saturn vue. On Tuesday June 21, while traveling at aprox. 60mph on I-85n in s. Carolina, I had a complete and unexpected engine shut down while in a heavy traffic condition. I was able to pull over against the guard rail in an unsafe condition, and shut the ignition off and tried to restart the engine. It started up immediately and I continued driving for another 5 hours. On Wednesday June 22 while driving on I-81n in virginia the same situation occurred, and once again I was able to get onto the shoulder and shut down the engine and restart. As before, I was able to drive for another 5-6 hours without any problem. Upon arrival at my scheduled stopover campground, and fully aware as to how potentially dangerous this condition could be, I stopped my trip and contacted ¿Ford motorhome customer assistance center¿ on their toll free line and discussed the problem with one of their service personnel. They referred me to a dealership which is about 50 miles from here, but they are not able to look at the unit until possibly next Monday, June 27. I contacted the dealer and will bring the unit to them on Monday. Of course the major problems with this situation is trying to stop a heavy vehicle with the added push of the towed vehicle, the difficulty in trying to steer into a safe area, and the fear of the traffic behind me not stopping in time in order to prevent a rear end collision.
