NHTSA Complaint #10676377 — 2011 FORD F-250

DRIVING THROUGH MY NEIGHBORHOOD AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH. LESS THAN A MILE FROM MY HOUSE, VEHICLE DISPLAYS WARNING TO STOP VEHICLE SAFELY. I BEGAN TO TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY SO THAT I COULD TURN AROUND AND HEAD BACK HOME AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. MY TRUCK WAS NOW BLOCKING THE ROADWAY AND A PERSON'S DRIVEWAY AT THE ONLY ENTRANCE TO THE SUBDIVISION DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE HOURS. I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF, AND TRIED TO RE-START IT, BUT IT WOULD NOT RE-START. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL SO THAT I COULD PUSH IT OUT OF THE ROADWAY. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO HAUL THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR. (THIS WAS THE SECOND INDECENT FOR ME INVOLVING A FAULTY ENGINE SENSOR.) I HAVE SPENT MORE THAT $300 FIXING SENSORS THAT SHOULD NOT FAIL. LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROADWAY, BLOCKING TRAFFIC. I AM JUST THANKFUL IT WAS IN A SUBDIVISION AND NOT ON A HIGHWAY. *TR
