The truck would not restart nor turn over however the batteries…

I have had to replace egt exhaust heat sensors 4 times in my 2012 f-250. The same sensor twice,first at 26k around june 2013 and again at 46k, oct 2014. I've been stranded 3 times and had to be towed to a dealer. I occasionally pull a 42ft 5th wheel camper and am very worried it will happen while pulling it with no place to pull over. Ford needs to step up to the plate and get a fix for this problem. *tr
