Consumer Description

THE CAM POSITION SENSOR ON MY '99 FORD F-350 W/ 7.3L POWER STROKE IS FAILING INTERMITTENTLY. THESE FAILURES CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN INSTANTLY WITH NO WARNING. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE 283 IN PA CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSS STEERING AND BRAKES IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING. ON ONE OTHER OCCASION THIS OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE TURNING DUE TO LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKES WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED, CAUSING A MINOR COLLISION WITH A CURB. NO PROPERTY PERSONAL INJURY OCCURRED. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND IN MY OPINION IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *JB
