Three problems related to engine shut off without warning have been reported for the 2011 Ford F-350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was passing a transport truck and just as I got even with the door of the truck my Ford f350 super duty motor quit, just shut down. A bus was coming in my lane as I was passing, the truck slowed down to let me by but I had no power, no power brakes or power steering. The bus slowed down and I braked enough to get in back of the truck and over to the side of the road. The bus went on by and the truck continued on his way and I tried to start my truck. It fired up and we drove to a tractor supply and bought some diesel oil and when we checked the oil to see how much it was down we were surprised to find it was full. We drove 200 miles home and didn't have another problem. There were no codes on the computer screen in the truck. I haven't taken it to the dealer yet but will to see if their equipment will show a reason.
The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-350 super duty. While driving 60 mph, the engine shut off. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced since the glow plugs fractured within the engine. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.
The engine light came on today in my 2011 f350 diesel . Dealer says def pump error code. Dealer says no pumps available until 03/15/2014. I think Ford should issue a service bulletin. Dealer says no warranty. Dealer states truck will shut down at any time. This should become a recall issue with the NHTSA. Owners of these trucks tow trailers frequently with lengths in excess of 36'. Having a tow vehicle shut down in traffic at highway speeds is eminently dangerous and will cause fatalities refer to NHTSA campaign number: 13v535000 on similar vehicles.
