Description of the problem | While driving my f250 at 30 mph in town a warning alarm went off followed by display saying stop engine safely now. As i attempted to slow down for a red light the truck totally died in the intersection. The vehicle would not start and was totally incapacitated in the middle of the road at 8:30 pm in the rain with my wife and 3 children in the vehicle. Myself and 2 other guys were able to push it out of the intersection through traffic. I had to call for a wrecker and have it towed. The ford dealer fixed it the next morning and advised it was a faulty egt exhaust sensor. Apparently this is common and they advised there is 4 of those sensors on the truck. It appears to be a huge safety issue to stall the truck while it is moving with no way to get it to a safe place to stop. |
