Won't start by model year
What owners say
2011 f250 6.2l engine. Truck dies randomly and will not restart for sometimes days. Sometimes it starts and sometimes it doesn't. Weather is not a factor, sometimes its warm sometimes its cold. Very random start and no start issue.
My 2011 f-250 diesel wouldn't start 2 weeks ago and after having it towed found it to be the h.p.f.p had torn itself apart and put metal shavings in the entire fuel system. It was stationary at the time but I believe it was out of sheer luck that I wasn't on the interstate. This is a recurring problem that this year and model have, but ford will not acknowledge it as a problem other than to put a kit together for the consumer when this happens to simplify the ordering process. This is a danger to my family and anyone else on the road if my vehicle suddenly stalls and loses all power. This is a frequent enough occurrence to warrant an investigation in my opinion for the thousands of affected ford diesel owners.
While going up the highway the message of " stop safely now" was displayed. Once pulling over to stop the truck died and would not start back. Had to have it towed to a dealership. Turns out the egt exhaust gas temperature sensor was faulty. This seems to be a very common issue.
Purchased 2mth ago. Would not start. Replaced batteries. 4 wks later "pull over safety" on & shut down on a windy road at 6pm. Vehicle towed to auto place. $1500 fix electrical problem. 1 mth later it does it again down busy freeway almost causing near collisions. Toad again. Fixed and same afternoon pulling out to state highway and same signal to pull over comes on & vehicle shuts down & backing up 5pm traffic before being towed again.
