Description of the problem | While driving in windsor colorado at about 30 mph my 2012 f350 sd flashed a warning light to pull over immediately the engine was about to stop. I did so, turned the key off and restarted the truck. It started ok. I drove 50 yards and the truck flashed the same signal but immediately shut off. I was able to coast to the shoulder of the road. Outside temperature was about 7 degrees and my wife, son and two young grandsons were in the truck (without heat). I called aaa and about 30-40 minutes later aaa towed me about 6 blocks to a repair shop. I thought it was the fuel filter possibly gelled and had the repair shop change the filter. The truck still wouldn't start so i had it towed about 10 miles to the nearest ford dealer, loveland ford in loveland co. It was determined by ford that 2 exhaust gas temperature sensors had failed, immediately turning off the engine. It was repaired under warranty by ford. Not only was i fortunate to get the truck to coast to the shoulder of the road but i was also extremely concerned about the welfare of my grandchildren in 7 degree temperature without heat in the truck. This could have been extraordinarily dangerous to all of us. |
