5 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 12/11/2014

2011 f350 with 6. 7l diesel. Travelling at 60 mph and light comes on to slow down. I approach intersection at 4 lane and engine shuts off in middle of intersection and will not restart. My mechanic found a faulty exhaust temperature sensor and I read in manual that truck is subsequently programmed to shut off below 3 mph if overheated condition exists. The automatic shut off is a dangerous feature, as in my case stranded me in the middle of an intersection. Had this happened when I was on the interstate it would have caused a collision. I informed Ford of this incident and there only response was to take it to the dealer.

6 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2014

This is the 3rd. Time that a egt sensor has failed on my Ford F-350 diesel truck. This first time was in California in the desert travelling at 70 miles per hour. The truck shut down for no reason that I could see. I had a horse trailer with 5 horses on board and the temperature outside was 109 degrees in the desert. The truck was still under warranty and Ford took 4 hours to come and rescue us. The truck and trailer was towed to the dealership where they discovered egt #10 had failed and shut the truck down to protect the engine. The egt sensor was replaced. The second time I had just left the dealership and the truck turned itself off again 130 miles away from the dealership. Ford was called again and I was towed back to the same dealership. They discovered that egt sensor #11 had failed and was replaced. Gee, only 2 more sensors to go. Now on April 10, 2014, egt sensor #13 failed and I only stopped to get diesel fuel. I pulled out of the gas station and the engine just died in drive gear position. This time the dealership charged me for the service and part and failed to notify me of a recall on this matter and part. When pulling my horse trailer with prized and valued horses on board, I would hate to cause and accident or have an 18 wheeler rear-end me while stopped in the lane of a major interstate highway. I find it shameful that my own Ford dealership, or for that matter Ford motor company can take my $65,000 for a new purchase truck, but they can't inform me when my family, children, passengers or horses lives are in danger!!! I am also going to confront the dealership that charged me on April 10, 2014 for a recall that they say doesn't exist according to the Ford motor company computer system and database.

7 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/24/2013

My 2011 F-350 truck's heating system suddenly would not switch locations. It was stuck on dashboard heating, and would not switch to the floor or to the defrost. The truck is 2 years old. At the beginning of winter, driving without defrost is rather hazardous as it is difficult to defrost the windshield. I had to pay to get it fixed, and it cost me $1862. 37. I feel that any vehicle's heating system ought to operate without issues for a decade or more, so it was rather frustrating to hear that Ford would not cover it on my 2 year old vehicle. Besides the common sense frustration factor, it could be a safety concern if it is a common occurrence in that people may not be able to defrost the windshield, which could result in excessive frost buildup in northern climates, which can block the driver's vision and result in a crash.
