Read complaints for FORD F-450 SD (2012)
As per your odi resume #rq14-005, my rv built on 2012 chassis experienced egt sensor malfunction to number 13 and 14. This occurred on i-75 outside of lexington, ky. I was very lucky to be in the right lane and just barely pulled to the shoulder before the engine shutdown. Had to call state police because of the close proximity to travel lane and very dangerous situation for other vehicles. This trip started in clemmons, nc, and included 2 tunnels which could have been a disaster if the incident occurred in either one. Called ford about recall for ambulance chassis since this seems to be same type. They stated the computer program is different and therefore the recall does not pertain to my unit.
The a/c compressor just went out for the second time and from what it looks to me is why the second failure has occurred is because the dealership did not replace the condenser as was required and also paid for by me.the truck has the "death-wobble" even though i have reinforced the steering in general and is very dangerous. However, due to just these two issues and the others it has had which are failed water pump, turbo, starter and hydro-boost brake booster with the water pump going out at about 50,000 miles and then the turbo at about 82,000 miles with the work performed at two different ford dealerships at a very poor quality i replaced the starter myself and the hydro-boost. You cannot trust a dealership when the worked performed is at best no better than what i can perform. Just like right now or for quite a long time it has had the two field service action items being numbers: 15m02 and 18m01 and after reading the horror stories about and or after a dealership has performed these two functions on other such person(s) vehicles, i most likely will not let a dealership touch mine.
Vehicle was initially not running and in driveway. There had been no prior indication of any problem, and no issue noted with on-board diagnostic system. Vehicle had recently been serviced at local ford dealer for oil/filter change. Dealer inspection noted no issues with the vehicle. Vehicle was cranked up and put into drive. Vehicle experienced a sudden, immediate, and total loss of power steering and brake capability. Vehicle lurched forward. Extreme pressure was applied to brake pedal but it would not stop vehicle from moving forward. Power steering was non-functional causing extreme difficulty in steering vehicle. Vehicle was immediately put into neutral until it slowed enough to put into reverse and stop the vehicle from moving forward. Vehicle almost hit road sign before coming to a stop. Brakes and power steering were non functional. Vehicle was slowly moved backward to get it out of the road path using reverse/neutral positioning. Vehicle was shut off and checked for possible loss of power steering/brake booster system fluid. Fluid level was just below maximum level mark, so no loss of fluid in power steering/power braking booster system had occurred. Upon restart, power steering system was marginally functional with grinding noise coming from power steering/power braking booster system when steering wheel turned or brake pedal applied. Pulsating feel coming from brake pedal when pressure applied.power brakes were still non-functional. Vehicle was not drivable due to complete loss of braking function and only marginal steering function. Vehicle had to be towed to ford dealer for diagnostic testing. After 4 days, dealer has still not looked at vehicle.
