As I am sure you must be aware of this issue: I purchased used a 2003 Ford -f350. I had many issues and had worked most of them out. There were many issues that were possible I was clearly unaware of. One being of utmost safety to myself and others. My high pressure oil pump located inside the engine of my 2003 Ford F-350 6. 0 diesel failed. When that happens the engine stops. The high pressure oil pump provides needed pressure to the injectors in order to have a running engine. Being parked and the hpop failing is one thing however driving 55mph on a 2 lane highway against oncoming traffic on a turn is a very bad situation. I am fortunate that I am still very strong at the age of 54. My hpop failed going 55mph on a long left hand turn. As the engine shuts down by brakes are limited to a small amount of storage and then they fail. The steering however fails immediately. I was heading strait head on I to a tracktor trailer rig. It took every ounce of strength to attempt to steer this vehicle out of the other land and brake getting it off the road ASAP. If the big rig had not made an attempt to miss me, I wouldnt be sending this letter. I wonder how many other people had not the strength to steer out of a situation or have time to stop and were killed. The report most likely said" driver fell asleep. " or something to that affect. There is no way this engine should be allowed to continue operation on the road period. Ford should honor all current owners of this vehicle with a very reasonable settlement not to mention having a formal investigation into this matter. I know of no other vehicles on the road that have such an issue. Complete failure of steering and brakes due to an unforeseen internal mechanical issue is a very poor design. Running out of fuel is one thing, however running out of control is absurd. Had I know who to write too sooner I would have.

On the evening of 6/13/2014, I was driving my 2008 Ford F-350 through the drive through line of white castle in commack, new york, 11725. As I went to make a right turn to follow the drive through lane, a heard a metal breaking sound followed by complete loss of steering. Within less than 1 second from this happening, my vehicle collided with a cinder block wall causing significant front end damage to the bumper, fender and headlight. There were no injuries to myself or any passengers as well as the wall had minimal damage. I had a police report filed with the suffolk county police department. The report corroborates my statement of complete steering loss as the direct result of the accident. The vehicle was towed to my mechanic, north shore firestone in commack. Upon investigation they determined the gears inside of the steering box completely failed. They could be of further assistance detailing what the internals of the steering box looked like if needed. They also informed me there is a 2 month back log on the replacement for this part. Being that there is a replacement backlog, Ford must know there is a design flaw. This part needs to be redesigned to stand up to the difficult task of getting white castle! this failure not only caused damage to my truck costing over $5,000, but this will cause my insurance to go up as well. If this causes me to be dropped from my insurance, I will have major problems being that all of my jobs require me to have transportation. Please have Ford fix this problem so no one else is involved in an accident. I was lucky I was going at a low speed, but the next person may not be as lucky as I was.
