Description of the problem | While driving at highway speed, the vehicle, a 2011 ford f-350 super duty gave a warning to pull safely over - with no warning the engine stopped. Thus rendering the steering and the braking significantly degraded. Thankfully, my wife and i were able to pull into a nearby parking lot and wait for a tow to the ford dealer. A customary use of this vehicle is to tow a trailer often with heavy machinery. Thankfully on this day there was no trailer attached. This situation warrants an immediate recall. If i had been traveling down an incline or on anything less than a straight road. This incident could have been catastrophic. |
