THE ENGINE IN MY 2011 FORD F350 SUPER DUTY DIESEL SHUT DOWN WITH NO ADVANCE WARNING IN FREEWAY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC DUE TO A EGT SENSOR. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE 6.7 ENGINE FOR SOME TIME ACCORDING TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT DIESEL FORUM SITES. THE ONLY RECALL TO DATE FROM FORD HAS BEEN ON THOSE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN AMBULANCE PACKAGE, ALTHOUGH THIS AFFECTS ALL VEHICLES WITH THE 6.7 MOTOR. *TR

FORD F350SD CREW CAB W/ 6.7 DIESEL MOTOR...VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN WHEN SUDDENLY WARNING MESSAGE CAME ACROSS DASH THAT VEHICLE WAS "SHUTTING DOWN" AND TO PULLOVER VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY. WITHIN 10 SECONDS VEHICLE BEGAN DECELERATING AND CAME TO A COMPLETE SHUTDOWN. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER VEHICLE AS POWER STEERING AND EVERYTHING STOPPED WORKING. WITH WIFE IN A PANIC, SHE BARELY GOT THE TRUCK OFF THE HIGHWAY, BEFORE COMPLETE SHUTDOWN OF VEHICLE! CALLED LOCAL FORD DEALER, WHICH DID HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED IN TO DEALERSHIP, UNDER FORD WARRANTY. TRUCK WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A "FAULTY" EGT EXHAUST SENSOR, GAVE ESTIMATE TO FIX OF AROUND $600.00. CLAIMS IT WAS NOT PART OF THE POWERTRAIN, SO NO WARRANTY COVERAGE OF THE COSTS OF REPAIR! TOTALLY FRUSTRATED WITH FORD FOR THIS INCIDENT AND LACK OF SUPPORT OR CONCERN FOR THIS FAILURE, I APPEALED TO THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. AND BASICALLY GOT NOWHERE! NOW AS I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE, I FIND OUT THAT FORD HAS A RECALL GENERATED #13V535000, ON THIS VERY SAME PRODUCT FAILURE, WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS OUR TRUCK'S FAILURE. HOWEVER, FORD ONLY ISSUED THE RECALL FOR F350,450, &550'S THAT WERE UTILIZED IN AMBULANCE CHASSIS. OUR TRUCK HAS A SAME BUILD DATE AS THE RECALL INDICATES AND EVERY EXACT SYMPTOM THAT THEY CITE IN THE RECALL LETTER AND FINDINGS, YET FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SAME PROBLEM COULD HAVE EXISTED IN THE NON AMBULANCE F350'S. I HAVE ONLY ASKED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS. FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF MY COSTS FOR THIS REPAIR, WHICH WAS COMPLETED ON 08/29/2013. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO ACCEPT MY CLAIM! I FIND THIS RIDICULOUS, AND THE SAFETY ISSUES OF THE PROBLEM WERE EVERY BIT AS SEVERE IN THIS PRIVATE SITUATION AS WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN IN AN AMBULANCE USE SITUATION. PLEASE HELP, ANYONE AT FORD SHOULD REALIZE THAT THE "FAULTY" SENSORS PROBABLY WERE PLACED ON MANY OTHER F350'S BUILT DURING THAT SAME TIMEFRAME. *TR
