2012 FORD F-350 Engine And Engine Coolingenginediesel Problems

WAS GOING INTO AN INTERSECTION AND MY F-350 DIED AND DISPLAYS A STOP SAFELY NOW MESSAGE, WHICH CAUSED ME TO DIE RIGHT BEFORE I WENT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. ENDED UP BEING AN EGT SENSOR. THEIR ARE 4 ON THIS TRUCK AND NOW ANOTHER ONE HAS GONE OUT LEAVING ME STRANDED AGAIN. THIS HA SBECOME SUCH AN ISSUE THAT FORD HAS A NATIONAL BACKORDER ON THESE SENSORS, AND THEY WONT WARRANTY THE PART, AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL ONLY COVER THEM AS THEY GO OUT. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 60,800 MILES ON IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

THE EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR (EGT) #13 ON MY 2012 FORD DIESEL F350 FAILED AND IMMEDIATELY SHUTDOWN THE TRUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOLLROAD AT 65 MPH. THE PROBLEM SUBSEQUENTLY ENDANGERED MY VEHICLE, LIFE, AND RESPONSE PERSONNEL. THE TRUCK WOULD THEN NOT RESTART UNTIL AN HOUR LATER. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY OTHER FORD DIESEL TRUCK OWNERS ON THE INTERNET. WHY IN THE HECK WOULD FORD DESIGN AN ENVIRONMENTAL INTERLOCK THAT SUPERSEDES THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS, FAMILIES, AND THE PUBLIC. IT MAKES NO SENSE, PARTICULARLY SINCE THERE ARE 4 EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE SENSORS. THE COMPUTER SHOULD BE MAKING A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE 4 SENSORS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-350 SD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE STOP VEHICLE NOW WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE ALSO LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE EGT EXHAUST TEMPERATURE SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE EXHAUST TEMPERATURE SENSOR REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,882.

WHILE TOWING LOADED TRAILER ON 2 LANE HIGHWAY, TRUCK COMPUTER FLASHED MESSAGE TO "STOP SAFELY NOW". ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT RESTART. DEALER INSPECTION FOUND A FAULTY EGT EXHAUST SENSOR. NO OTHER ISSUES WITH COOLING, OIL OR ENGINE OCCURRED. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT THE NEW CONTROL SYSTEM SOFTWARE IS DESIGNED TO SHUT DOWN ENGINE IN THE EVENT OF A FAULTY SENSOR IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE VEHICLE. THE SYSTEM SHOULD ALERT TO THE ISSUE AND ALLOW THE HUMAN TO DETERMINE IF IT IS SAFER TO CONTINUE DRIVING AND RISK DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. A CONTROL SYSTEM THAT IS NOT AWARE OF THE ROAD, TRAFFIC OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO OVERRIDE HUMAN REQUIREMENT TO CONTINUE DRIVING OUT OF HARMS WAY. *TR
