WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE VEHICLE, A 2011 FORD F-350 SUPER DUTY GAVE A WARNING TO PULL SAFELY OVER - WITH NO WARNING THE ENGINE STOPPED. THUS RENDERING THE STEERING AND THE BRAKING SIGNIFICANTLY DEGRADED. THANKFULLY, MY WIFE AND I WERE ABLE TO PULL INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND WAIT FOR A TOW TO THE FORD DEALER. A CUSTOMARY USE OF THIS VEHICLE IS TO TOW A TRAILER OFTEN WITH HEAVY MACHINERY. THANKFULLY ON THIS DAY THERE WAS NO TRAILER ATTACHED. THIS SITUATION WARRANTS AN IMMEDIATE RECALL.
