I was driving my son to school and as I approached the entrance to the school the alarm chimed. I slowed down on a busy 4 lane street to turn into the school parking lot. As I tried to accelerate the truck shut off leaving me sitting in the middle of an intersection with a 3 year old in the backseat in a car seat. I tried to restart the truck before the oncoming traffic reached us, to no avail I got out and started to push the truck and 2 pedestrians ran across the street to stop traffic and help me push the truck out of the street so we wouldn't get hit. When I called ford they said nothing could be done to get the truck started until the egt exhaust sensor was replaced and they were on back order for 2 weeks. After calling the dealership I purchased the truck from (out of state) they offered to overnight one to the dealership that would repair the truck. After discussing this with several members of the local dealership team including the service manager they miraculously found a sensor in a nearby town to replace the following day. We easily could have been in a serious accident if the truck would have stalled while oncoming traffic were closer. This is a safety hazard and needs to be addressed.

Caution light came on advising me to safely pull over and stop. I pulled over into a gas station and the truck stalled as I was coming to a stop. Engine would not restart immediately. I checked oil level and everything looked fine. After approximately 10 minutes the truck restarted and I drove strait to the ford dealership in huntsville, alabama about 15 miles away and they replaced an egt sensor.

Vehicle stalled and stopped running in traffic on highway 231 in montgomery al. About an hour after, second incidence of violent front end oscillation [see previous complaint (odi number) is: xxx59219. Called ford roadside assist. I have 125k extended warranty and had vehicle towed to nearest ford dealership. There were no warnings of any kind from on board diagnostic systems . Vehicle was diagnosed with "evidence of water in fuel system" . There was no water present in system , no "water in fuel system" warning light ,has never lit up on this vehicle , had it checked in the past ,was told was functional], was told repairs were "not covered " .all service has been done to ford specifications and at ford facility. These repairs would not be necessary if the warning system was operable . I am in a business that sells, operates and uses diesels every day and all modern diesels have water in fuel sensors . Case is still open with ford customer care . This needs documentation . There would have never been an issue if the trucks systems were operating properly. The repairs are more than I can afford for a truck that is under warranty. This is clearly a system failure .
