While driving at 40-50 MPH the vehicle will lose power and then then stalls while moving leading to loss of power. The loss power of affects the power steering posing a direct threat for an auto collision due to the difficult in steering the moving vehicle into an emergency lane. Avoided several accidents with this truck. Once it is stalled it can take numerous times to restart the vehicle. This issue seems to occur more on slopes going up hill. This does not seem to occur as often going downhill or on areas with no incline. Currently vehicle has 126,931.8 miles on it. Regularly serviced and otherwise running fine.

My vehicle has been bucking and jerking intermittently since way before above.date it stopped running at a stop sign then bucked and jerked so in 2013 it got so bad that I finally had it checked out. I thought it was transmission, had it checked and was referred to local mechanic who was acquainted with the problem and has worked on several trucks with the 6.0 diesel engine. He said for $1200 you might repair it, no guarantees. He said it had to do with the electronic accelerator. I didn't have it repaired. In August 2014 it stopped and jerked at stops sign more than once. I took it to the same mechanic and he replaced a sensor located under the turbo, for $600, and that solved that problem. In October 2014 I was towing a trailer and the truck would not shift into 4th gear. I stopped and restarted the engine and it went back to normal operation, but it still bucks and jerks today I called my local Ford dealer and he said that he has no recalls for my VIN number. I only drive it occasionally. It has 59,000 miles on it now.

For unknown reasons on 12/20/13 at 0030 hrs my truck caught on fire as it sat in my driveway. I drove the truck last on 12/14/13. The fire started in the engine compartment on the drivers side. I have owned the truck for about 8 months and it had 105000 miles on it when I purchased it. The fire department advised it could be due to some type of electrical issue near the master cylinder. I told them that I have not done any work under the hood in months and that was oil/filter change. Still under investigation.
