i'm skeptical its fixed.. just because it went away doesn't mean its fixed.. most of us here only had it once with no fix so the dealer may not have fixed his truck.. it just may not have manifested itself again

Agree fully. It has been 2 months since it happened to me and has not recurred since but I would still be keenly interested in what was done.

i'm not suggesting don't get it done either .. just don't get your hopes up or frustrated if it happens after the dealer claims they fixed it

Same thing happened to me. I only wish I had taken a picture as there is always a lot of skepticism. Dealer kept it for three days and could not replicate, of course. Tech said he would have had to plug into the system before a restart to get any useful data.
As I see this as a safety issue, I did this and recommend anyone else it happens to do the same: File a Vehicle Safety Complaint Safercar National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) . Only takes a few minutes. Taking it to the dealer, especially with the picture, is important as well to put Ford on notice of the problem.
(I wonder if Forscanning the AS/S away or installing the AutotStop Eliminator device will "fix" the problem?)

I installed an AutoStop Eliminator about a week later and it hasn't happened since, although I can't say for sure that it fixed the issue.

It was doing this thing where it was idling roughly as well when coming to a stop.
All they told me was they did some reprogramming and nothing since.
