NHTSA Complaint #10676483 — 2011 FORD F-250

DRIVER WAS PILOTING VEHICLE THROUGH TURN AT INTERSECTION FULLY LOADED WITH SALT AND A SNOW PLOW. VEHICLE DASH DISPLAY READ SHUT DOWN VEHICLE SAFELY AND THEN IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN. TRUCK WAS STRANDED IMPEDING TRAFFIC FOR 40 MINUTES UNTIL A GOOD SAMARITAN WAS ABLE TO PULL IT BACK OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND EGT EXHAUST TEMP SENSOR WAS FOUND TO BE BAD. THE CHARGE WAS $100 FOR THE WORK PLUS THE TOW BILL WHICH WAS $113.50. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I USE THIS AND ANOTHER TRUCK WITH THE SAME ENGINE (ALSO SUBMITTED COMPLAINT FOR THAT VIN) TO TOW AND HEAVY HAUL ALL THE TIME. THIS IS NOT SAFE IF IT HAPPENS WHEN TRAVELING DOWN HILL, FULLY LOADED AND THE TRUCK SHUTS DOWN. THAT IS NOT SAFE, BUT IN FACT RATHER SCARY. *TR
