My 99 f250 sd diesel with a 7. 3 engine eats cam shaft sensors, I am on my 5th one now, everytime I complain to Ford about it they say it is just my trucks "thing" this "thing" as they like to call it is very dangerous the truck just stops, it doesn't matter where, how fast anything and it can not be determined until the sensor fails completely as I have had it checked (for $100. 00) at the dealership when it starts showing symptoms and no codes ever show up I called Ford canada and complained last year when the 5th one was put in and was told they are unaware of any such problems. My truck has a kentucky truck plant sticker on the windshield I don't know if this is a common denominator or not but it is scary to drive as you never know when it is going to happen. If it were to happen while towing my horse trailer (which is why we bought the truck) the consequences could be horrific as it is hard enough to control the truck at slow speeds when it stop without warning let alone at highway speeds with a fully loaded horse trailer.
After filling the vehicle with gas, the gas gauge was half full, then almost empty. After noticing the gas gauge the consumer pulled off to the side of the road. A state trooper noticed gas on the ground. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who stated there was a leak in the gas line.
