Ford motor co. Refuses to do safety recall 07s57 on my 97 f-250 the recall is for the cam shaft position sensor. It must be replaced because the vehicle stalls while driving which can lead to an accident. They are refusing to do the recall due to a seized bolt. If this bolt breaks they want me to pay $2500 to get the safety recall completed.

My complaint has to due with the pcv valve hose that runs to the vacuum system. It gets too warm and melts and it causes the engine to stutter or stall causing the vehicle to stop rapidly. I have noticed this on many of the f250 or f150 5.4l triton engines. This has happened several times to my truck and it is expensive to keep replacing it. It has almost caused a few rear endings.

Monday, july 31 2007, I experienced the last of a series of intermittent stalling events in my 1997 ford f250 hd vehicle, equipped with a 7.3 dit powerstroke diesel. Subsequent to my own investigations, I discovered that the cam position sensor was a component implicated in such events. I replaced the component on july 27, 2007, after an increase in stalling problems. The condition repeated on the later date above, and I drove the vehicle to a repair facility. They could not find any diagnostic codes from the PCM, but the stalling episodes increased during their analysis. After performing other system diagnostic procedures, they were left with the final conclusion that the cps must be the culprit for the stalling condition. The newer cps I installed was replaced by the repair technician with another cps. To date the condition appears resolved. I have retained all parts and the repair work-order.

The trucks engine will completely stall when the fuel tank is low on fuel and the truck comes to a quick stop such as a red light or at an intersection. The truck will also stall when the fuel tank is low on fuel and the truck is slowing down or stopping on a decline. The stalled truck must be stopped, the transmission must be put back into "park," and the vehicle restarted before proceeding with travels. On two occasions, the truck has stalled unexpectedly in an intersection, nearly resulting in a collision from vehicles following too closely behind. The stalling does not occur when the trucks fuel tank level is above a quarter tank and the vehicle is brought to a quick stop, or slowed and/or stopped while heading down a decline.
