F-350 4WD Diesel

Engine died while traveling with wife and small children in truck on freeway. Following engine failure, brakes and steering became very difficult to manage while coasting off of freeway onto exit. Two of these instances occurred while driving on freeway within 2 months of each other. Engine began sputtering and then died completely within 10 seconds. The truck had to be towed to shamrock Ford in dublin after each incident and no replacement vehicle was offered. After being fixed the 1st time there was a noticable lack of power and fuel consumption increased, leading to the second failure. I am very frustrated that the 40,000 dollar "dream truck" I purchased is a pile of unreliable junk. I bought a 5th wheel trailer to use with this truck and it is so unreliable that I am afraid to tow it anywhere. I will not allow my wife, who weighs 110 lbs, to take the kids anywhere for fear that she would not be able to control the vehicle if this occurred again. Do I have any recourse? thank you, tony zwetsloot
