Consumer Description

MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE CPS (CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR) ON THE FORD 7.3L POWER STROKE ENGINES. IT SEEMS THAT MOST/ALL VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THIS SENSOR HAVE EXPERIENCED FAILURE, WHICH RESULTS IN THE VEHICLE STALLING. I BELONG TO SEVERAL FORUMS AND NEARLY EVERYONE HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THAT SENSOR AND IT IS "RULE OF THUMB" TO CARRY ONE IN YOUR GLOVE BOX FOR WHEN IT GOES BAD. THIS HAS BECOME SUCH A PROBLEM THAT YOU CAN NOW BUY THE SENSORS ON EBAY, PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT THESE BY THE TRUCKLOAD TO SELL SINCE THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM. WHY SHOULD WE CONSUMERS HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SUCH AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THE ENGINE FAILING? WE SPEND 20-30-40K DOLLARS ON THESE VEHICLES AND CAN BE LEFT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE TO THIS ONE PART FAILING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. PLEASE, SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!*JB
