| I have a 1999 ford super duty pickup. i was driving home after my sons baseball practice and the unthinkable happened. my truck made a loud bang and noticed a burning smell. i stopped to see what the problem with my truck. as i opened the hood i saw a flash of light and saw the engine on fire. i immediately shut the truck off and grabbed my sons water bottle to try to stop the fire. luckily i was able to smother the fire out with a baseball glove. my son and i waited for over an hour for the tow truck. the vehicle was towed to a local garage. i was shocked to find out the repair bill of $2700!!!!!! the shop said the spark plug blew out of the engine and caused a fire. and to make matters worse they said this was a known problem with the ford v8 engine!!! i am so upset! i just was laid off from my job because of the economy, i now only have my wife's car for transportation, and get a bill for 2700 bucks? this car has put myself and my 10 year old son in danger because of a known engine problem with ford trucks! not only that but i had to replace my sons baseball glove from trying to snuff out the fire. i can't believe there isn't some kind of safety recall on these vehicles. i hope you guys can look into this before someone gets killed or burned to death! *tr | |||

| I own a 1999 ford f250 7.3 turbo diesel. i have had the cam positioning sensor go out on the truck. when this happens, the truck just stops running. i was traveling on the freeway in los angeles. when this happens, there is no power steering, power brakes and the engine may or may not start up again. this is certainly a safety hazard. i know that this is not uncommon for this to happen with this engine. i think ford should recall this part and replace it with something better. *jb | |||
