Driving truck it told me to pull over and shut engine off. I was stranded on the side of the road and it would not restart, had to get a tow home. I did some research and found this is exactly what my truck did as follows. When the egt sensor goes on the blink, the powertrain control module thinks there is an exhaust system overheating situation. The vehicle then goes into a 'controlled power reduction mode' while…

Engine · Service Brakes · Steering
The vehicle's engine will stall (cut off) without any indication or notice during motion or at a stop. This has happened at city speeds (less than 25 mph) and at highway speeds (greater than 55 mph) the vehicle will not immediately start but may start after standing for some time. This causes power steering, power brakes and other important safety features to be degraded or lost.

I have a 2012 ford f250 king ranch 6.7 diesel. The radiator started leaking so i took it to the dealership only to find out i needed a new radiator. Since my bumper-to-bumper warranty ran out at 36k miles this repair was on my dime. In researching online forums and such, there have been known issues with the diesel radiator as far back as 2008. The entire premise behind a diesel engine is "compression-ignition" in…

The truck engine will stall at low speed for one to five seconds, especially dangerous if you are trying to enter traffic. I have reported to northside ford every time i have it serviced, they finally agreed that i have a problem, however they have failed to fix . I get the impression that ford is aware of this problem,but for their own reasons do not want to fix it. *tr
