1 Diesel Engine problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2014

This is the third time that my truck has left me on the side of the road. Ford had a recall of all 2012 ambulance f350 because of this exact situation and is leaving the consumer to worry with it on their own. The actual problem is the egt sensor 13 and 14 in the exhaust system. These sensors continue to fail and all Ford can do is to keep my vehicle for 4-5 days and tell me that they cant find the issue and they replace the sensors (only to fail again in about a month). I can not drive this vehicle anywhere without the thought of failure. There is no way I can take this truck out of my normal around town area as if failure does occur, I am stuck. I am afraid that it is going to die on me in traffic and cause an accident or death of myself or a passenger. I have taken it to 3 different local dealers only to be told that they dont have a clue and know nothing of any other similar instances of this ever happening. (I can show you 50 cases online that have happened to other owners of the same vehicle) I am looking to get this taken care of as soon as possible as I am driving at $65,000 vehicle that I cant trust to drive across the state line. Any recourse that you can offer is very much appreciated as Ford is acting clueless to this ongoing issue. Thank you for your help.
