Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE 01 FORD EXCURSION BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY LOSING POWER. AS I BEGAN TO PULL OF THE ROAD THE ENGINE DIED COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER LEAVING THE TRUCK TO SIT FOR 8 HOURS, I WENT BACK AND IT STARTED UP FINE. MY MECHANIC SAID NO ERROR CODES WERE SHOWING ON THE ECM. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET,I FIGURED OUT IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND HAD IT REPLACED. NO MORE PROBLEMS SINCE THEN. APPARENTLY THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE. THERE ARE ENTIRE MESSAGE BOARDS FILLED WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.*AK
