 Tl* the contact owns a 2002 ford f-250 super duty. the contact was driving at approximate speeds of 10 mph with a boat hitched to the rear trailer. he proceeded to drive downhill, shifted into second gear and activated the vehicle overdriven. when the overdriven was activated, the instrument panel immediately went blank and the vehicle went idle. the vehicle was towed to a local dealer where the contact was informed that a fuse had blown in the vehicle and the dealer serviced the vehicle accordingly. the failure recurred on a separate occasion while towing a camper downhill under similar conditions as the first failure. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer to be serviced. the failure mileage was 64,000 and the current mileage was 64,100.

 2002 ford f250 diesel truck on interstate 25 in denver. proceeding at 70 mph in middle lane in heavy fast traffic and suddenly everything shut down. no power, no electrical, no brakes, no steering, very dangerous situation in rush hour traffic. had it towed. this is the second time the cam sensor has just quit within 1.5 years at $500 cost to replace each time. but, i could have been seriously injured. i believe this justifies a recall to prevent someone from being seriously hurt. cam sensor!!! *jb

 I was driving on the highway when my truck died. i started it and it went for hours and then died again. then it would go two feet and die and then days and die. i had no warring. this is very dangerous and some one could get killed. just look on the internet and you can see many people having problems with the cps, cam positioning sensor. they even say to carry an extra one with you, cause of them going out all the time??? we replaced ours after replacing many other wrong parts, because we had no idea of this being a problem with ford trucks. we replaced the accelerator pedal, sensors, and other parts until we found the cps was the problem. many wasted dollars. please look into this, before it is to late and someone gets hurt. *nm

 While driving my 2002 ford f250 7.3 diesel truck, my truck lost all power. i restarted the truck and had traveled about 1/2 mile when the failure occurred again. i restarted the truck again and had traveled about 1/2 a mile when the failure occurred again. at this point i was in my driveway. after further research on the internet, i discovered that this failure is very common in this vehicle and happens with no warning and at any speed. several people on the internet went so far as to suggest carrying a spare part with you at all times as well as the tools needed to make the repair on the road. my local ford dealer informed me that this a very common problem. i feel that this issue should be addressed before any fatalities occur as this has happened while driving at high rates of speed with no warning. *jb

 My f-250 super duty 4x4 pickup recently stalled while driving off the freeway. the following day the truck stalled a second time in traffic and a third time while entering i15 in barstow, ca. the truck was towed to soutars ford in barstow, ca. the following monday soutars replaced a cam sensor assembly. the cam sensor was covered under the ford 100,000 warranty with $100 deductible. two weeks ago i returned from a 4000 trip to yellowstone and glacier national parks. on this trip i towed a 9000 lb 5th wheel with my f250. had the cam sensor gone out while i was towing the trailer, particularly on many miles of steep mountain roads, i can only imagine the consequences. when the truck stalled there was no warning - no difference in any of the gauges to indicate something was wrong. the power steering and brakes quit working when the engine stalls. loss of control and a collision could certainly occur when the truck suddenly stalls. an f250 4x4 is a very heavy vehicle - it doesn't move without the engine running unless you are on a hill. i am concerned that the cam sensor may fail again without warning. i have called the 800 number for ford motor company and registered my concerns. there doesn't seem to be any interest on the part of ford to talk to me about this problems and the potential seriousness of the failure. i have spoken to the local ford dealer and have found that they have replaced this part on other ford diesels with the 7.3l engine. . i am thankful that i am reporting no injuries or deaths from this failure. i could have easily been killed on interstate 15 had i stalled out in 70 mph traffic which is very heavy on a friday night. i chose to call a tow truck instead. what protection is there from a problem like this one? a vehicle of over two tons is not safe when it can stop running without warning at any time, particularly when it is used for towing a trailer. *nm
