Recently during july to september the truck when stopped would idle rough then shut down completely having to put in park and restart the truck! The last time it did it I was sitting at a red light on a city street and it just shut down and I had to restart the truck. This has happened 4 times since july. I took it to two Ford dealers and neither could replicate the problem and told me they could not fix it.”
