Consumer Description

DRIVE A 2001 FORD F250 4WD STRETCH CAB PICKUP WITH A 7.3L DIESEL ENGINE. IT IS USED PRIMARILY FOR TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER. THE TRUCK IS WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS JUST OVER 55,000 MILES ON IT. RECENTLY ON A TRIP TO NEVADA, WITHOUT OUR TRAVEL TRAILER, THE TRUCK ACTED AS IF IT WERE NOT GETTING ADEQUATE FUEL 3 TIMES AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY TWICE. ALL OF THIS ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY, WHEN IT SHUT OFF I WAS ABLE TO KICK IT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE ENGINE. WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY DEALER A PART WAS REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY PROBLEM WAS NOT UNCOMMON WITH THIS DIESEL ENGINE. PART REPLACED WAS A CAMSHAFT SENSOR. DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DEFECTIVE PART. COST OF REPAIR - PARTS AND LABOR - $261.71 - PARTLY COVERED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I HAD IN PLACE. ANYWAY, HAD NO PRIOR WARNING OF THIS TENDENCY AND THE TIMING OF THE STALLING AND SHUT DOWNS WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I CONSIDER MY WIFE AND I TO BE EXTREMELY FORTUNATE AND WE ARE GLAD THAT WE WERE NOT TOWING OUR TRAVEL TRAILER AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURES. *NM
