My vehicle has been bucking and jerking intermittently since way before above. Date it stopped running at a stop sign then bucked and jerked so in 2013 it got so bad that I finally had it checked out. I thought it was transmission, had it checked and was referred to local mechanic who was acquainted with the problem and has worked on several trucks with the 6. 0 diesel engine. He said for $1200 you might repair it, no guarantees. He said it had to do with the electronic accelerator. I didnt have it repaired. In August 2014 it stopped and jerked at stops sign more than once. I took it to the same mechanic andhe replaced a sensor located under the turbo, for $600, and that solved that problem. In October 2014 I was towing a trailer and the truck would not shift into 4th gear. I stopped and restarted the engine and it went back to normal operation, but it still bucks and jerks today I called my local Ford dealer and he said that he has no recalls for my VIN number. I only drive it occaisionally. It has 59,000 miles on it now.

Ford motor company put out defective coolants on their 6. 0l diesel engines. I have/had 2003 f350 king ranch truck with 67,000 miles. Ford warranties diesel engines to 5 year 100,000. On June 24, 2008, I was driving when my truck overheated. I pulled off the road and called Ford north scottsdale. They said that the ejr coolants are not good on those trucks and most likely it gave out. They told me to get it to the nearest dealership. I dropped the truck off at bell Ford in arizona on Tuesday June 24 to learn that my warranty expired may 28, 2008. I got diagnostics done and the head gaskets blew. Bell Ford said they blew because the coolant went out and blew out the water, which overheated the coolants. We contacted Ford motor company and they had 2 cst (mark & steve) "resolve" the dispute and say they cant help us. I specifically asked, that why would they not recall a part they know is not efficient? they did not give me an answer. After doing more research, I have since learned that this is a very common problem with the 6. 0l. I am looking at $4300 just for the head gaskets and then plenty more in labor charges. This does not even include getting the coolant fixed. Will I ever buy Ford again? most likely not. They cant stand behind their product or help their customer. This is a truck that has been babied and up to date for all maintenance. And now its destroyed.

I have a 2004 F-350 superduty 4x4 [6. 0 diesel]. I drove through water the depth of the stock tires. The engine ingested water by way of the intake. I was advised by the Ford dealership that the incident destroyed the engine. The air intake is located at the front grill. I believe this is a flaw in design, causing easy access for the water to enter from the air intake. I am getting no assistance from the Ford company or my vehicle insurance in covering the damage, which is estimated at $ 15,000. 00 dollars. I am not sure if this type of problem is occurring often.

I have a '96 Ford f350 with a 7. 3l powerstroke. My truck has been stalling intermittently while driving down the road. And on occasion, had cut out completely and not come right back which leaves me with no power brakes, or steering to stop the vehicle, or get it off the road. I stopped at bankston Ford in frisco, TX today to ask if my truck was on the recall list, and was told that it was not. They would not fix the known problem, unless I was willing to pay $380 for the part, and another 4hours of labor. As I understand it, and even verified by their parts department, this part is a $194 part, or a $36 part. I was told my truck is that $194 special order part. There would be no refunds if I ordered it with them. Also, with talking to a friend of mine that is a mechanic at Ford, this is less than a 30 minute job. I would like to know why my truck is not on the recall list, when this is a known Ford problem.

The existing recall 07v-553 (camshaft position sensor on Ford 1997-2003 f-super duty, e-series, and excursion vehicles with 7. 3l diesel engines) seems to be incorrectly narrow in scope. I have a 1996 F-350 with the same 7. 3l diesel engine noted in the recall, and had the exact failure described in this recall. I had it repaired at a Ford dealership on sept 21, 2007, and can provide complete documented information from that repair. Why did Ford not include f-series trucks that use the 7. 3l engine (such as the F-350) in this recall? why is it limited to 1997 and newer? there are other vehicles out there on the road (such as mine) that have a similar potential to fail. This is a difficult problem to diagnose; the dealer could not determine the problem the first time I brought it in (January 2007). My problem went on for more than a year (with momentary power losses and engine stalls shortly after startup) before it progressed to serious drivable issues that were frequent enough they could be diagnosed by the Ford dealer. Camshaft sensor failure causes the engine computer to make the engine stall. Unfortunately, at that stage the drivable issues also become dangerous. I am seeking an expansion of this recall to cover all vehicles affected by the cam sensor failures, and reimbursement for the repair expenses I paid that should have been covered by this recall.

3rd time in less than a month. . . . Would not start????? stranded for 12 hours, towed 30 miles to dealership and paying again for a hotel and car rental. . . .

Camshaft position sensor failed on my '02 Ford F-350 power stoke diesel.

First time truck quit on north I-25, we were driving and the truck just quit, would not recrank, stranded on the side of the road for 8 hours, finally a tow truck towed us 80 miles to the nearest Ford dealership, we paid a towing bill of $250 also 2 days in the hotel.

I own a 2002 f350 Ford diesel truck. I just had to pay $2221. 70 to replace a rusted out oil pan. This should have been a simple, low cost job but since Ford used defective metal in their oil pans causing them to rust out and the cross member between the frame, the whole engine has to be removed to change the pan. Every diesel Ford truck owner will have to replace their oil pan within 6 years or it will begin leaking causing the engine to shutdown anywhere. How can I begin a class action recall at Ford's expense for this unnecessary and very costly job ?.

-the contact owns a 2008 Ford F-350 super duty. The contact stated that the more pressure he applied to the brakes, the more the vehicle lost control and accelerated to full throttle.

Two issues really: a sloppily installed valve cover gasket on the right valve cover causing fluid leakage. The second is a constant drift to the left. 2008 F-350 lariat 4x4 crewcab long bed powerstroke diesel.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford F-350 superduty. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle overheated and smoke poured from the exhaust pipe. The vehicle was pulled over and would not exceed 30 mph. The vehicle then lost power. There were no warning indicators. The aroma of antifreeze was potent. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer the following day. The vehicle has been to the dealer seven previous times for the same failure. The current and failure mileages were 56,000.

Stopped at a stop signal and engine quit. Cranked okay, but would not start. Got it towed to my house. After lots of trouble shooting for not starting, noticed that the engine tachometer was not working when trying to start. Replaced the cam position sensor, f7tz-12k073-b. The truck started right up.

I was driving my 2002 Ford F-350 diesel when the engine suddenly shut down. There was a dump truck behind me which was forced off of the road in order to avoid hitting my vehicle. I was able to restart the vehicle only to have it stall again. After researching the problem I found that the cause was a faulty camshaft position sensor which, although it appeared to be a recurring problem on Ford diesels Ford has never notified me as such. When I contacted a dealer regarding the problem they said that there was nothing that they could do as the vehicle was 6 months past the 100,000 miles 5 year engine warranty , I am still under the 100,000 miles. I have had the truck in Ford dealerships numerous times and have bever been notified by Ford personnel as to the likleyhood that this part has known problems and could fail at anytime. I am thankful for the diligence of the truck driver behind me yesterday because had he not been so alert then incident could have ended in tradegy.

Cam shaft position sensor in truck has gone out suddenly and could be very dangerous when moving - loss of power steering and brakes. Evidently almost all engines have this part fail at some point and have done nothing to help the consumer.
