Twice the engine in this vehicle has quit without warning at highway speeds. 1st on 9/1/2008 @ 27,300 miles, 2nd on 6/23/2009 @ 35,400 miles. In both cases the vehicle was restarted as soon as safely possible. This issue could result in a serious injury and/or property damage since there is a loss of steering and brake controls when the engine quits. The dealer has tried to repair but cannot diagnose the problem. I have emailed ford motor asking that they have a technician contact the dealer to work together to correct this defect asap. In the meantime I am concerned that driving the vehicle is dangerous to myself and others.

Ford e-450 box truck with 6.0 diesel has 40k miles on it. It has been in the shop 4 times already. It required all new fuel injectors, a new clutch fan, egr valve, new radiator, brakes including rotors, and ball joints. All except the brakes & ball joints were covered under warranty, but it is down one week out of every month for repairs. The 6.0l diesel should be considered under the lemon laws.
