| While driving my 2008 f350 superduty diesel powered truck at 45mph for approx 4 miles, received message exhaust drive complete immediately followed by stop safely now and complete powerdown of engine. the truck decelerated so fast that despite my flooring the throttle, the car behind me almost collided. the truck lost so much power that i could not safely pull off road and was in a rural area between two blind curves. the whole incident happened in less than 30 seconds and left truck completely vulnerable to whatever traffic conditions were at the time of incident. after getting over to side of road, truck stalled on slight rise and did not have the power to move, however when i shut truck down, my 5ft8in 200lb body was able to push the 8000 lb vehicle over the hump. engine would not crank over after incident and was not allowed to restart until after the unit either cooled down or timed out (didn't try for 30-45 min later). by time tow truck arrived, unit would run but less than full power and check engine light was on. truck was in shop serviced for faulty egr valve and had latest ford recall for reprogramming completed less than 100 miles prior to incident. | |||

| I purchased a 2008 ford 350 super duty king ranch with a 6.4l diesel and started having throttle problems @ about 5,000 miles. i had repeated problems with throttle response. i was driving down the highway @ 70mph and the truck just went into idle mode and would not respond to the throttle pedal. i was very lucky to be able to weave thru traffic and pull over to the side of the road. i shut the truck off and sat there for a few minutes then re started the truck and drove off. on numerous occasions i would start the truck and it would drive a short ways and then kick into idle mode and the engine would not respond to the pedal. i had the truck towed into the ford dealer and they said they could not duplicate the problem. they replaced the throttle pedal sensor and gave it back to me. i filed a complaint with customer service on 6/18/2009 case # 1510951699 as the problem continued to happen. i had the truck towed in again and the ford dealer replaced the map sensor. the problem continued to happen and i had the truck towed into the ford dealer again and left it with them. they called me back and said the truck was ready to pick up. i was under the impression that they had changed a part or corrected the problem. i informed them that i was going on a hunting trip to utah in late december and wanted to ensure my truck was in fact repaired. i drove to elko nevada and spent the night. the next day (sunday) i started the truck and it kicked into idle mode and would not respond to the throttle. i had it towed to the ford dealer again. the next day they reflased the computer in the truck and said they hoped it would get me home. when i returned home i took the truck into the local ford dealer again. they said they could not duplicate the problem. they did change out the pcm and gave me back the truck but would not confirm they fixed the problem. i was in contact with ford customer service and requested a buy back. they refused. | |||
