Consumer Description

DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING TRUCK ON HIGHWAY 101 AND ENGINE DIED. NO POWER, NO POWER BRAKES OR STEERING. SHE PULLED TO SIDE AND TRIED TO RESTART TRUCK - NOTHING. CALLED TOW TRUCK AND VEHICLE STARTED BUT DIED AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FORD DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS THE CAM POSITIONING SENSOR. WHEN IT IS BROKEN THE TRUCK THINKS THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING AND KILLS THE POWER. THEY DID NOT RECOMMEND SHE DRIVE THE TRUCK WITHOUT MAKING THE REPAIR AS IT WOULD DIE AGAIN. THE REPAIR COST $500 AND ONLY THE DEALER COULD DO THE REPAIR AS THEY HAD THE COMPUTER TO READ THE ERROR. THEY SAID THERE WERE NUMEROUS SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL. *NM
