Ford F-350 owners have reported 4 problems related to camshaft position sensor (under the electrical system category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have had two camshaft position sensor failures on my 97' f350 7. 3l diesel in a matter of one year. This left me stranded on both occasions. I discovered on several Ford truck discussion forums that this is one the most common failures on these trucks through a variety of years. I could not find any person who owned a similar year truck and did not have this component fail on them. Please take action on this issue.

Third time replacing cps/cmp (camshaft positioning sensor) on my 2000 Ford super duty 7. 3l powerstroke diesel. Truck dies and will not run beyond about 30 seconds until this sensor is replaced. First failure was while traveling 70 mph on the freeway in my large truck and it dies, no power to steering or brakes. Scared my family, thank god no accident though. I carry a spare cps but have given 2 away to friends when theirs went out. This part is a long known problem and should be recalled due to the danger of a 7,800 lb truck going dead w/o warning.

Cps (camshaft position sensor) failure on 2002 Ford superduty powerstroke. I noticed my engine cutting out slightly at times. Then my cps failed leaving my vehicle dead at multiple traffic lights before I could finally change the part.

The contact owns a 2002 Ford F-350. While driving approximately 50 mph, the engine stalled. The vehicle was able to be restarted, but the failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and an independent mechanic. The technician stated that the camshaft sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000.
