• Recall 2015125 [Canada]: Engine
  Certain ambulance or fire package vehicles with 6.7l diesel engines may experience a "stop safety now" warning message and 5 audible chimes if an exhaust gas temperature (egt) sensor fault is detected. Engine torque would be gradually reduced by 70 percent over a period of 45 seconds to a power-reduced level that is maintained. During this time, there would be no effect on steering, braking, lighting, electrical, or restraint systems, allowing the operator to maneuver the vehicle to a safe location. Such an occurrence could also result in an engine shut down and subsequent inability to quickly restart the vehicle. If this condition were to occur when an ambulance or fire engine vehicle was transporting a patient or providing medical assistance, it could delay medical treatment and increase the risk of injury to the patient. Correction: dealers will reprogram the powertrain control module with updated software.

• Recall 2013372 [Canada]: Engine
  Certain ambulance package vehicles with 6.7l diesel engines may experience a "stop safety now" warning message and 5 audible chimes while the vehicles gradually loses power, eventually resulting in the engine stalling when speed falls below 5 km/h. If this were to occur while the ambulance is transporting a patient, engine shutdown with no ability to restart could interfere with patient care and increase the risk of injury to the patient. Correction: dealers will replace the exhaust gas temperature (egt) sensor located downstream of the diesel particulate filter (dpf).

• Recall 2011426 [Canada]: Powertrain
  Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of canada motor vehicle safety standard 102 - transmission control functions. The brake transmission shift interlock (btsi) switch may have been incorrectly manufactured and could fail. This would allow the transmission gear shift lever to be moved out of the park position without depressing the brake pedal. Depending which gear the driver selects, the vehicle could begin to move forward or backward immediately. This movement could result in property damage, or cause the vehicle to strike a bystander, potentially resulting in personal injury. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the btsi switch.

• Vehicle commanded engine shutdown investigation # RQ14005

  The office of defects investigation (odi) opened this rq to investigate allegations that the scope and remedy of safety recall 13v-535 were inadequate. Recall 13v-535 was limited to a relatively small population of "ambulance package" vehicles and odi received complaints of pickup trucks and "fire engine prep package" vehicles being affected by the same defect. Ford manufactured approximately 555,985 subject vehicles between february 22, 2010 and january 30, 2015 that may be affected by defective egt sensors and powertrain control module (pcm) software calibration. The subject vehicles are equipped with four (4) egt sensors to monitor engine operating conditions. An egt sensor fault may produce false exhaust over-temperature signals. If these signals are produced, the powertrain control module (pcm) implements a failure management effects mode (fmem) and the driver receives a "stop safely now" (ssn) system warning on the instrument cluster message center. The fmem triggers a 70% reduction in available engine power over a period of no more than 45 seconds, during which it may not be possible to accelerate or maintain vehicle speed. The pcm then commands the engine to shut down when vehicle speed reaches approximately 1 mph. There is no immediate restart capability. Depending on the pcm software calibration, ignition key position and ambient temperature conditions, the engine may not restart until the end of a 10-60 minute "cool down" period.Ford and its component supplier(s) made numerous changes to the pcm software calibration and the design, material and manufacture of the egt sensors over the period of subject vehicle production. This continuous product improvement affected vehicle performance regarding the alleged defect. Ford acknowledges the defect condition in the subject vehicles but argues that an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety is limited to "ambulance package" and "fire engine prep package" vehicles where commanded shutdown could impact emergency response and patient care. Ford also argues that the defect trend is in decline. Ford also initiated a new safety recall (15v-175) to address the 13v-535 remedy concerns in the "ambulance package" vehicles and "fire engine prep package" vehicles. The 15v-175 remedy reprograms the pcm with a new software calibration that stops a single egt sensor fault to cause the vehicle to enter the fmem shutdown mode.Ford also initiated an epa emissions recall (14e03) for all subject vehicles that reprograms the pcm with the software calibration employed in safety recall 15v-175. Finally, ford initiated a customer satisfaction program (15m01) providing extended warranty coverage of 8 years or 80,000 miles for the the egt sensors on certain my2011-2012 subject vehicles.Due to the epa emissions recall, that had a 66.6% completion rate in fords december 2015 progress report to the epa, the defect trend is in decline. Odi is not aware of any crashes, deaths or injuries related to the alleged defect.Odi believes the alleged defect poses a safety risk but notes that the epa emissions recall is addressing the safety problem.Compelling issuance of a duplicate recall would not represent a wise use of agency resources.Accordingly, this recall query is closed.This action is not a finding that no defect exists and nhtsa will take further action if such action is warranted.

Death wobble. At 30 mph & 70 mph. Jerked steering wheel from my hands & pulled us off the road onto grass on road side. Full brakes & skidded to a stop.

While traveling down the road at approximately 72 mph my vehicle front end began to shake unbelievably. It felt like all four tires had gone flat. I could not control the vehicle until the speed got down to around 40 mph.

I was 300 miles from home for work for a week. On day 1, while driving on a residential street, i suddenly got a message on the dash that stated "stop safely now". Seconds later, as i was pulling over by the curb, the truck shut itself down and would not start back up. I had to rent a vehicle (being away from home). On day 3, i tried again and it started. I drove it a block away to the place i was staying. Entering the parking lot, i got the message and it shut down again just as fast. At this point i had to arrange transport of my truck back home. $650 and 3 days later, i finally got it home. Started it, ran for a few minutes parked so tried to drive it. Made it about 1000 feet when it shut down again and left me stranded on the highway. Each time it shut itself down, i had to wait a minimum of 1 hour before it would restart. After researching, it seems that my egt13 sensor has gone bad and has to be replaced. Had it shut down while i was on the interstate, the results of this could have been a whole lot worse than the expense of a rental and transport. My research brought to light that this seems to be an ongoing problem with fords that needs to be addressed and

Driving on highway at 60 m/h violent shaking of the front end and steering occurs when there is a change in pavement, also known as the "death wobble" replacing suspension, ty-rods and sway bar ,etc. Did not fix the problem

Driving at higher speeds in my 2012 f350 lariat, the truck gets to 60 fine but any faster then that and it begins to get a speed wobble that causes the entire truck to vibrate at a uncontrollable shake that throws the steering and i found it unsafe to hit the brakes, which forces you to just coast while the trucks shakes violently. For a truck that people pay up to $40,000 ot should be able to cruise at speeds above 60-70 mph with no problem. It seems to be thrown off by the smallest divit or bump in the roads but only at highway speeds. Which makes it that much more dangerous. I have a 6 year old that was in the truck many times as this happens and it's a scary thing it feels like the wheels are going toncome off. Only had this truck for about 6 months now also. It seems in mint condition except for the speed wobble.

Truck started to wobble violently that it was extremely difficult to maintain control of vehicle and get the truck to the side of the interstate. I drove over a small bump in the road before the incident.
