2011 Ford F-350 SD engine problems

Truck has about 65k miles on it. It has had 2 major diesel engine malfunctions that left me stranded on the road. The first time I barely made it off the travel lanes. The second time at least I was able to get fully off the road. Both times we were on the highway. It already has had the fuel pump go out causing major problems and having a new fuel system put in. Now something else internally of the engine has blown up and now it has metal shaving all thru the engine. The first time it took over 2 months to get fixed and this time its been in the shop 8 weeks and the ford extended warrentee still hasn't approved the repairs. I've read many on line posts saying that these 2011 diesel engines are exploding and ford won't cover the repairs or make good.

While driving the f350, without warning the engine will shut down. This occurred while driving on the interstate in a straight direction. Has continued to occur over the past month (4times). The vehicle will not restart. Wait anywhere from 2minutes to 20 minutes the vehicle will restart. Appears to be the erg system. Serious safety concern!!!!! According to other individuals on the internet this is a common problem.

I was passing a transport truck and just as I got even with the door of the truck my ford f350 super duty motor quit, just shut down. A bus was coming in my lane as I was passing, the truck slowed down to let me by but I had no power, no power brakes or power steering. The bus slowed down and I braked enough to get in back of the truck and over to the side of the road. The bus went on by and the truck continued on his way and I tried to start my truck. It fired up and we drove to a tractor supply and bought some diesel oil and when we checked the oil to see how much it was down we were surprised to find it was full. We drove 200 miles home and didn't have another problem. There were no codes on the computer screen in the truck. I haven't taken it to the dealer yet but will to see if their equipment will show a reason.

Upon starting the vehicle, I noticed that the check engine light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it has been diagnosed with a bad def pump, heater and sensor. These are for emission control and I have been told that these parts are not a warrantied item. Seems that this should be covered as it for the safety of the environment.

Mar.2,2015 was traveling west on hwy. 82 about 10 miles out of prattville,al. This is a heavily traveled hwy. By truck and auto. I was given the message stop safely now and 30 sec. Later lost power on a major highway going up hill. Truck was towed to ford dealer where I was told the truck had a recall, 14e03. I was told egt sensor #2 was replaced and the 14e03 recall was done but the two were not connected. I leaned this problem was addressed in a nov.2013 recall for ambulances but this was not addressed for the hundreds of thousands of privately owned trucks. Why? I leaned of the jan.2015 recall 14e03 when my truck was towed in to dealer. This is not only a costly but also dangerous game ford is playing with it's customers. I was blessed!

The engine in my 2011 ford f350 super duty diesel shut down with no advance warning in freeway rush hour traffic due to a egt sensor. This has been a problem with the 6.7 engine for some time according to several different diesel forum sites. The only recall to date from ford has been on those vehicles equipped with an ambulance package, although this affects all vehicles with the 6.7 motor.

Sensor did not fix the stalling problem which was monitored by fords box put in the truck. I had to hit the button for a signal to be sent to ford every time my engine lost power (went momentarily dead) finally ford installed a 2013 ECM to correct the problem, which it fixed it. I traded the truck for a 2014 f350 6.7l , no problems.
