Two problems related to engine shut off without warning have been reported for the 2013 Ford F-350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Truck was idling then stopped and engine shut down. Truck was towed to dealer. Diagnosis was failed high pressure fuel pump due to metal shavings. No known issues with poor fuel. Fuel filters changed regularly. No "water in fuel" warning lights. No issues with vehicle health report done 1 day earlier. 65,000 miles. Ford company will not warranty repair due to alleged claim of contaminated fuel. No signs of rust, or any type of contaminate in or on components.
The egt sensor failed, therefore the engine's computer shut down the motor while I was driving 70 mph on the interstate. The shut down starts by no longer allowing acceleration or to remain at a constant speed, but rather forcing the vehicle to slow down and not allowing the driver to keep engine control. I was in a rural stretch of highway and was able to get to the shoulder of the road without too much trouble, however I would be very concerned if this engine shut down happened while driving on a highway with a lot of traffic. I see that ambulance equipped Ford diesel vehicles have been recalled, but not others. If the motor shuts itself down while driving on a busy highway, this is a big safety concern for myself and other employees.
