Consumer Description

CONCERNING: 2001 FORD F-250 7.3 DIESEL. FORD HAS PATTERN CAM POSITION SENSOR FAILURE THAT CAUSES ENGINE TO SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEED. THIS RESULTS IN LOSS OF BRAKES AND STEERING. THE CAM POSITION SENSOR IN MY TRUCK FAILED WITH 75,00 MILES. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO RECTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. IT'S VERY UNNERVING AND UNSAFE. DRIVING ON A CROWDED ROADWAY/FREEWAY WITH SUDDEN ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND LOSS OF POWER, BRAKES, AND STEERING IS FLAT OUT SCARY AND DANGEROUS. *TR
