Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 FORD F-350 WITH THE 7.3 DIESEL MOTOR. I HAVE REPLACED THE CAM SENSOR IN IT TWICE AND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET UPSET ABOUT THIS. WHEN THE CAM SENSOR FAIL THE TRUCK SHUTS DOWN WHICH CAUSES LOSS OF POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, AND ALL CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL WHEN IT IS GOING TO FAIL. FOR HAS NO RECALLS ON THIS SENSOR AND HAS HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED THEN ITS IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. I TOW A 3-CAR HAULER WITH THIS TRUCK, IT'S REALLY DANGEROUS WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE MAY BE RESTARTED AND OTHER TIME I HAD TO WAIT 45 MINUTES.
