• 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).

• 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.

Blown motor. Bad lifters and valves. Exhaust temperature sensor check engine light. No warranty, i had to replace entire engine at my cost of $15,000

I have running lights but no turn signals, brake, or four way/emergency lights on my fifth wheel when towing. This is at any time hooked up to the truck. Otherwise on the truck itself all lights work properly.

While driving at 45 mph on a highway the engine blew up. Ford reported the problem was a faulty glow plug which fell into the cylinder causing the connecting rod to break and exit the side of the engine block. Fire ensued but was short lived.

This vehicle is shuttle bus, transport passengers from chicago o'hare airport to four points hotels and back 24/7. This vehicle is owned by four points hotel at schiller park, il and i work as driver. On november 20 2016 just after 9 pm i was driving the bus south bound on mannheim rd and when breaking to stop at the traffic light at lawrence ave the left rear end hit the ground and the bus dragged until reach complete stop. The rear outer tier come off along the (was found quarter mile north) small fire started , evacuated passengers. All bolts snapped off the rear left wheel and the outer tire came off.

Driving on freeway at 75 m.P.H. (speed limit 75) the motor stalled and would not restart., luckily made it to shoulder after dodging traffic. After tow to the dealership, found out it was malfunctioning egt exhaust sensor. *tr

Truck started, but intermittent lighting and interior cab electronics. Diagnosed as intermittent electrical spike. Replaced one of the alternators and bypassed engine wiring harness that supposedly had a short. Vehicle has an extended warranty ( ford esp ), stating that electrical components, including harnesses, are covered. Claim denied by dealer ( boucher ford west bend, wis) while traveling with no reasonable explanation. Dealers seem to have a problem doing warranty work, but are glad to charge top rates. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford f-450. While driving 40 mph and attempting to slow down, the engine lost power and the steering seized without warning. The dealer stated that the fuel was contaminated and the fuel system needed to be replaced. The failure was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 77,600.

Engine logo light came on; then red sign came on " stop safely now". I pulled to the shoulder and the engine stopped. I waited 30 minutes or so and the engine started again. I drove starting and stopping to a ford dealer in clarion, pa. Slept in the truck all night and the next morning [xxx] ran the computer and his conclusion was the number 8 cylinder injector was bad and that causes the heat sensors to malfunction. He didn't have the part but suggested running it until it cuts out, let it cool then run it again. Well after about 70 miles it stopped for good. I then called up montross ford, and they had the injector so i bought it thinking next i'll find the mechanic, on a saturday afternoon i was wrong. Next i looked up recalls and i found a recall for faulty heat sensors, that recall was for the same time period as my truck was made. I am now sitting on the side of rt. 76 with no where to go pulling a 4 car trailer, customers upset and my last hope is ford motor co.
