The contact was able to pull to the side of the road. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to restart after several attempts and the message remained displayed. The contact stated that the vehicle started up after an hour and half. The vehicle was taken to a local Pep Boys, where it was diagnosed that the failure was related to the exhaust gas temperature sensor. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that Ford Campaign Numbers: 15N01 and 15N02 had expired unless the vehicle was an ambulance. The failure mileage was approximately 196,475. The contact stated that they purchased one EGTS and installed the part themselves. The dealer recommended to replace all four sensors as well as the EGR valve. After the installation of the new EGTS, the vehicle seems to run okay.

JUNE 23 2017, I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN A MESSAGE THE READ STOP WHEN SAFE POPPED ONTO THE TRUCK INSTRUMENT DISPLAY. I ATTEMPTED TO GET TO A SAFE AREA TO PULL THE TRUCK OVER BUT WAS UNABLE DUE TO A LOSS IN MOMENTUM THAT I LATER FOUND OUT WAS A MANUFACTURER SAFETY PRECAUTION DUE TO A FAULTY EGT SENSOR. I WAS NOW CURRENTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND UNABLE TO RESTART THE TRUCK. AFTER 20 MINUTES WAVING DOWN VEHICLES SO THAT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DID NOT HAPPEN THE TRUCK RESTARTED. I SENT BACK DOWN THE ROAD TO ATTEMPT TO GET INTO A SAFER LOCATION INSTEAD OF BLOCKING 1 LANE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO PROCEED .9 MILES BEFORE THE TRUCK SHUT OFF AGAIN ON A BLIND HILL. THE TOW TRUCK WAS ARRIVED AND WE WERE THEN ABLE TO REMOVE IT FROM THE ROADWAY. FORD HAS COME OUT WITH A RECALL FOR THERE 6.7L POWER STROKE AMBULANCES TO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE BUT AS CIVILIANS WE ARE STUCK WITH A VERY DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLY LIFE THREATENING SHUT DOWN OF THE TRUCK OVER A 57 DOLLAR PART. THIS IS NOT A SMALL INSTANCE ON THIS HAPPENING JUST A QUICK ONLINE SEARCH WILL SHOW COUNTLESS OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT BECAUSE OF THE MEASURES TAKEN OF THE PEOPLE OR THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND FORD NEEDS TO MAKE A CHANGE. IF YOU LOOK INTO THE BACKGROUND OF THIS TRUCK YOU WILL SEE THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME OF SUCH THINGS HAPPENING.

DRIVING 70 MPH ON EXPRESSWAY WHEN TREAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM BELTS ON TIRE DAMAGING THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WELL, BODY, TRIM AND BUMPER. TIRE WAS A FACTORY INSTALLED (BOUGHT THE 2012 F350 NEW) GENERAL GRABBER HTS SIZE 245/75 R 17 WITH 54,000 MILES ON THEM. DOT # IS A343 47DB

REAR BRAKE LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL FAILURE. MY REAR BRAKE LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING WITH OUT NOTICE. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS MANY TIMES ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY ARE NOT BAD. THEY WILL STOP WORKING ONE SIDE AT A TIME AND SOME TIMES BOTH STOP WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. THIS LEAVES YOU NO INDICATION THAT YOU HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS OR TURN SIGNALS WORKING. I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOME TIMES WHEN I TURN ON MY TURN SIGNALS, ONE SIDE WILL FLASH FAST THAN THE OTHER, AT ABOUT TWICE THE RATE AS NORMAL. I WAS IN A LEFT TURN LANE WAITING TO TURN WITH TURN SIGNAL ON AND STARTED TO SMELL ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL OR ELECTRICAL SMOKE. THIS IS WHEN I DECIDED TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS MATTER. I HAVE DISCOVERED OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH 2011 F350 HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE AND THEY HAVE GOTTEN A RECALL TO REPLACE THE BODY CONTROL MODULE SO IT DOESN'T SHORT OUT AND CAUSE ELECTRICAL FIRES. BUT MY 2012 F350 THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES TO COMPLAIN WITH NO SOLUTION. MY TRUCK WAS BUILD IN 10/11 AND ONLY HAS 37000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR AT LEAST 7-8000 MILES. I GUESS ITS GOING TO TAKE AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE TO GET FORD TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT. *TR

FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCK DEVELOPED A SEVERE VIBRATION AT 70MPH ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE TO THE LEFT INSTANTLY. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, I HAD TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DRASTICALLY WHICH CAUSED OTHER TRAFFIC TO HAVE TO AVOID ME. INVESTIGATED ONLINE, THEY EVEN HAVE A NICK NAME "DEATH WABBLE" I FOUND HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF CASES IN 15 MINUTES, WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE? THIS HAS TO BE A RECALL OR SOMETHING, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. HELP US

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY TRUCK BEGAN TO VIBRATE. I STOPPED AND CHECKED THE TIRES CONDITION, AIR PRESSURE AND LUG NUTS. ALL SEEMED TO BE FINE. I CONTINUED DRIVING AND EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT BLOWOUT FROM THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE TRUCK. I WAS TOLD BY THE TIRE STORE THAT MODEL TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE AND THEY HAD SEEN A NUMBER OF FAILURES. A CLAIM WAS FILED WITH TIRE MANUFACTURER AND DENIED. I WAS TOLD THE NEWEST MODEL OF THAT TIRE HAD BEEN IMPROVED SO THE TIRES WERE REPLACED THE TRUCK WAS SENT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS.

TRUCK HAS ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION STARTED TO BOUNCE VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS HAS BEEN IN FOR DRAG LINK REPLACEMENT AND STEERING DAMPENER REPLACEMENT WHICH CORRECT ISSUE TEMPORARILY FOR A FEW MONTHS BEFORE IT BEGINS TO HAPPEN AGAIN DEALERSHIP DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND TRIES TO BLAME THE ISSUE ON ROAD CONDITIONS OR TIRE WEAR OR TIRE PRESSURE ON INTERNET SEARCHES THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS AND FORD HAS NOT FIXED IT YET. WHEN THIS BOUNCING HAPPENS IT IS QUITE SCARY AND REALLY THROWS THE TRUCK AROUND IT DOES NOT STOP BOUNCING UNTIL THE SPEED IS SLOWED TO AROUND 35 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT EITHER BY THROWING THE TRUCK INTO A MEDIAN OR INTO ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC AS THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL DURING THE BOUNCING CONDITION

I NOW HAVE A THIRD TIRE WITH TREAD SEPARATION. THE TIRE IS A BF GOODRICH ALL-TERRAIN T/A KO, LT285/65R20 127/124S, DOT (BE3F UH11 1313). THIS TIME THE TIRE WAS LOCATED ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND CAUSED A DEATH SHIMMY. THE TIRE STILL HAS THE TREAD ON AND CAN STILL BE INFLATED. IT WAS REMOVED FROM THE RIM FOR INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT. NO INTERNAL DAMAGE OR CRACKS WAS FOUND INSIDE, BUT THERE ARE CRACKS IN THE TREAD THAT INDICATES THAT THE TREAD WILL SEPARATE FROM THE TIRE. ARE THEY TRYING TO HURT OR KILL ME AND MY PASSENGERS? WHAT CAN I EXPECT NHTSA AND BF GOODRICH (MICHELIN) TO DO IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR TIRES?

ON OCTOBER 16, 2014 MY TRUCK WAS DAMAGED DUE TO TREAD SEPARATION ON A BF GOODRICH ? ALL TERRAIN T/A KO, LT 285 / 65R20 TIRE (DOT BE3F UH11 0912), SOLD BY DISCOUNT TIRE COMPANY IN ODESSA, TX. MY TRUCK IS A BLACK 2012 FORD, F-350 SUPER DUTY, FX4, LARIAT 1. WHILE DRIVING ON I-10 TRAVELING EAST AT 67 MPH I FELT A SUDDEN BUMPING OF ONE OF MY TIRES AS I REDUCED MY SPEED THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE AND WRAPPED AROUND THE REAR AXLE OF MY TRUCK CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK. THE TIRE WAS STILL INFLATED AND I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. BUT THE DAMAGE WAS SO SEVERE THAT THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED. 2. THE TIRE DID NOT BLOW OUT, IT STAYED INFLATED UNTIL IT WAS REMOVED FROM THE WHEEL (RIM) BY THE BODY SHOP TO BE REPLACED. 3. THE TIRE AND TREAD WAS TAKEN TO DISCOUNT TIRE (AS REQUESTED BY AAA) TO BE SHIPPED TO MICHELIN FOR EXAMINATION, BUT WAS DESTROYED BY DISCOUNT TIRE (MR. DOUG MCCOLLUM - STORE MANAGER TXH 34).

ON MARCH 31, 2015 MY TRUCK WAS DAMAGED FOR THE SECOND TIME DUE TO TREAD SEPARATION ON A BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN T/A KO, LT 285 / 65R20 TIRE (DOT BE3F UH11 0912). MY TRUCK IS A BLACK 2012 FORD, F-350 SUPER DUTY, FX4, LARIAT. 1.WHILE DRIVING ON I-10 TRAVELING ~67MPH I FELT A SUDDEN BUMPING OF ONE OF MY TIRES BEFORE I COULD REDUCE MY SPEED AND PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO GET OFF THE ROAD THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK AND BARELY MISSING OTHER VEHICLES I WAS PASSING ON THE ROAD. 2.AS I REDUCED MY SPEED AND WHILE PULLING OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, THE TIRE BLEW OUT, I WAS ABLE TO KEEP MY TRUCK UNDER CONTROL AND MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD SO THE TIRE COULD BE REMOVED SAFELY.

ON 11/3/14, AT OUR OPERATION, WE HAD A COLLISION INVOLVING OUR EMPLOYEE AS HE WAS BACKING UP OUR 2012 F350 WHEN HIS FOOT GOT CAUGHT UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL, CAUSING HIM TO BACK INTO A DOOR ON A BUILDING. IT APPEARS DUE TO THE DESIGN AND SPACING OF THE PEDALS THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET YOUR FOOT STUCK UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL AS YOU PIVOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. COINCIDENTALLY, ON 11/6 ONE OF THE LOCAL COMPANIES HAD A SIMILAR EVENT INVOLVING A 2012 F350 WHEN THERE EMPLOYEE WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, HE WENT TO STOP BUT HIS FOOT GOT CAUGHT UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL AND HE WENT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION RESULTING IN A COLLISION. APPEARS ON THE NEWER 2014 F350 MODELS, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NARROWER, REDUCING THE CHANCE FOR THE FOOT TO GET CAUGHT. SPOKE WITH FORD DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY ADVISED BRAKE PEDAL COULD NOT BE LOWERED AND BRAKE PEDAL COULD NOT BE MODIFIED TO THE NEWER STYLE BECAUSE THE BOLT HOLE PATTERN WAS DIFFERENT. NO ACTION WAS TAKEN. EMAILED FORD ON 11/21/14, THEY COULD NOT ADVISE OF ANY MODIFICATIONS. *TR

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT MY TRUCK HAS LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. FORD HAD A RECALL OF ALL 2012 AMBULANCE F350 BECAUSE OF THIS EXACT SITUATION AND IS LEAVING THE CONSUMER TO WORRY WITH IT ON THEIR OWN. THE ACTUAL PROBLEM IS THE EGT SENSOR 13 AND 14 IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THESE SENSORS CONTINUE TO FAIL AND ALL FORD CAN DO IS TO KEEP MY VEHICLE FOR 4-5 DAYS AND TELL ME THAT THEY CANT FIND THE ISSUE AND THEY REPLACE THE SENSORS (ONLY TO FAIL AGAIN IN ABOUT A MONTH). I CAN NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANYWHERE WITHOUT THE THOUGHT OF FAILURE. THERE IS NO WAY I CAN TAKE THIS TRUCK OUT OF MY NORMAL AROUND TOWN AREA AS IF FAILURE DOES OCCUR, I AM STUCK. I AM AFRAID THAT IT IS GOING TO DIE ON ME IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH OF MYSELF OR A PASSENGER. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT LOCAL DEALERS ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE AND KNOW NOTHING OF ANY OTHER SIMILAR INSTANCES OF THIS EVER HAPPENING. (I CAN SHOW YOU 50 CASES ONLINE THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE) I AM LOOKING TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS I AM DRIVING AT $65,000 VEHICLE THAT I CANT TRUST TO DRIVE ACROSS THE STATE LINE. ANY RECOURSE THAT YOU CAN OFFER IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED AS FORD IS ACTING CLUELESS TO THIS ONGOING ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *JS

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 45 MPH IN 5 O'CLOCK TRAFFIC AND A STOP SAFELY NOW MESSAGE CAME ON MY MESSAGE BOARD AND IMMEDIATELY SHUT MY TRUCK DOWN ON THE ROAD BLOCKING TRAFFIC AND I WAS PULLING A DUMP TRAILER. THERE WAS NO WAY TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE ROAD AND NO WHERE TO PUSH IT TO IF I WAS ABLE . WAITED ON A TOW TRUCK FOR TO HOURS WHILE ALL THE PASSING MOTORISTS GOT ANGRY AND MADE THAT SECTION OF THE ROAD VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

WARNING CAME ON SAYING "STOP SAFELY NOW" AND AS I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT RE-START. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON A BUSY ROAD, PULLING A TRAILER OR OUT OF CELL RANGE OR THERE DEFINITELY COULD HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM. BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AGAIN AND THESE TRUCKS ARE WAY TO BIG TO SIMPLY PUSH OFF THE ROAD THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AFTER LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM ONLINE I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON THESE TRUCKS AND NOW THAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE REPLACEMENT SENSOR IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND WILL TAKE AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME TO FIND, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THESE ARE LARGE TRUCK AND OFTEN ARE PULLING LARGE LOADS, THIS PROBLEM OF A SENSOR THAT CAN COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN A TRUCK LEAVING IT STRANDED IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER BUT EVEN MORE FOR THE OTHERS ON THE ROAD SINCE IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR EVERYONE TO SAFELY GET OUT OF TRAFFIC BEFORE THE TRUCK SIMPLY STOPS. THERE ARE 4 EGT EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE SENSORS ON THESE VEHICLES, I HAD ONE FAIL CAUSING THE PROBLEM. *TR

I AM EXPERIENCING WHAT THEY CALL THE "DEATH WOBBLE". AFTER HITTING A SERIES OF BUMPS / POT HOLES, THE FRONT WHEELS START TO SHIMMY AND SHAKE THE TRUCK VIOLENTLY, VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. AS THE MILEAGE INCREASES ON MY TRUCK, THE INCIDENTS ARE BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND INTENSE. TODAY, 04/09/2014, I ALMOST GOT KILLED ... LITERALLY ! ON I-65 SOUTH OF LAFAYETTE INDIANA, HIT A SERIOUS OF ROAD PATCH BUMPS AND HOLES ... THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHIMMY AND SHAKE AND IT WENT INTO A FRENZY, THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKING VIOLENTLY. CARS AROUND ME WERE DIVERTING AWAY, AND A SEMI WAS PUSHING HARD FROM BEHIND AND HIT HIS AIR BRAKES, I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. APPLYING THE BRAKES ONLY MADE IT WORSE. I AM A 6' 3" STRONG MUSCULAR MAN, AND COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL OR DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE. I STARTED IN THE RIGHT LANE, BUT WOUND UP IN THE MEDIAN, AND ALMOST TOOK OUT (2) CARS TO MY LEFT AND OF COURSE THE IMPENDING SEMI BEHIND ME. I TOLD THE DEALER OF THE ISSUE, THEY DID THEIR INSPECTIONS AND FOUND NOTHING. THE TRUCK IS OEM, I HAVE NOT ADDED OR MODIFIED A SINGLE THING, IT IS AS IT WAS FROM THE FACTORY. NOTHING HAS BEEN CHANGED OR MODIFIED FROM THE ORIGINAL FACTORY CONDITION !! A FORD CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP HAS SERVICED THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT NEW IN FEBRUARY OF 2013. THERE HAVE BEEN LAWSUITS FILED, I HAVE NOT HAD THE TIME TO DO MORE RESEARCH. BUT IT SEEMS PRETTY INCREDIBLE TO ME, THAT WITH THIS RECURRING ISSUE THAT GOES BACK 15 YEARS OR MORE, THAT THIS AGENCY OR FO
