Description of the problem	summary: purchased this 2008 ford f-250 super duty new at a ford dealership in fla. On feb. 29, 2008 and continue to be the original owner. This vehicle is equipped with a 6. 4 turbo-diesel engine. This vehicle is subject to tsb 07-26-2 (wiring harness defect on hpfp) issued august 2007. In january 2015, while accelerating to highway speed, the engine shut down without any warning. I lost acceleration and the engine died. Braking and steering were also diminished. Got lucky and was able to avoid a collision and coast to the side of the road where the vehicle would not restart. The vehicle was towed to a local ford dealership. Diagnosis revealed a short in the wiring of the high pressure fuel pump gasket wiring harness (the subject of tsb 07-26-2 wherein ford recognized in august of 2007 a problem with unprotected wiring within the hpfp wiring harness). Repairs were extremely costly (over $3,000. 00)more importantly this instantaneous failure without warning is going to cause an accident, injury or death; it is only a matter of time. I urge ntsb to investigate unplanned shut downs of this vehicle's power plant. Under certain circumstances this loss of control of the vehicle, collision, injury and possibly death. Ford has known about this issue since august of 2007 yet has not issued a recall. Replace the hpfp gasket and wiring harness. Run # 2 for us: my ford 2008 f250, is back in the same ford shop on run #2 of the same wiring harness. While accelerating to highway speed of 60 mph, the engine shut down without any warning. I lost all acceleration and the engine died. Braking and steering were also diminished. Was able to avoid a collision and coast across two lanes to the side of the road where the vehicle would not restart. The vehicle was towed. Diagnosis revealed a short in the wiring of the high pressure fuel pump gasket wiring harness. ( already see 7 complaints).
