| Description of the problem | Driving down expressway about 70mph during rush hour traffic. Truck had been running about 30 minutes prior. Message pops up on instrument panel that states "stop safely now", no other message given. Once slowed to approximately 10mph the engine died and i had no power steering or power brakes. This is in rush hour dallas traffic. I pull over to the side of the road as much as possible and try to restart it for 40-50 minutes with no avail. Have it towed to dealership which now informs me that i have 3 bad egt sensors and they need to be replaced for the same reason, none. They state that they are not covered under warranty and ford has not recalled them. This is concerning because this is the second time this has happened and this one was in a very dangerous situation. I know of 2 other very close friends that have ford f-250 trucks that this exact thing happened to. |
