NHTSA Complaint #10190359 — 2002 FORD F-350 SD

CPS SENSOR FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON FEDERAL HIGHWAY IN WASHINGTON. AS I HEADED TO WORK AROUND 7:30 PM IN THE 2002 FORD F350 TURBO DIESEL AND WHILE MOVING AT A PACE OF 61-65 MPH EVERYTHING CUT OUT: ENGINE, BRAKES, ETC. I HAD TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS QUICKLY AND CAREFULLY AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. ONCE SITUATED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I TRIED TO START THE TRUCK OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND IT STARTED. GOT GOING AGAIN AT 61-65 MPH AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT TOOK 45 MINUTES TO GET THE TRUCK HOME , DRIVING IT IN THAT FASHION. I BOUGHT A NEW CPS THE NEXT DAY FROM INTERNATIONAL FOR OVER $150.00. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I WAS ABLE TO REPORT A PROBLEM OF THIS IMPORTANCE UNTIL I FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM... JUST FOUND OUT HOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT 30 MINUTES AGO. THE DATES THAT I HAVE LISTED BELOW WERE NOT VERY ACCURATE BECAUSE I HAVE FORGOTTEN THE EXACT TIME AND DATE. *AK
