My f-350 super duty diesel suddenly shut down while driving during rush hour without any warning, losing total power: power steering and brakes. Not being able to move it due to traffic and since it wouldn't start police were notified so that an accident would not occur. Eventually it was towed to a near by parking lot and then towed directly to the dealer where they notified me that my cam sensor was bad and needed to be replaced. Not thinking much of it a few days later someone told me that they are known for going bad and I had better keep one in my glove box as a spare or I might find myself stranded again. This concerns me since my wife sometimes drives it and we have 3 children, not to mention that it cost me $420.00.

2001 ford f-350. Engine stalling, hesitation. Advised problem was cps failure, common problem on ford powerstroke diesels. After many stalls, old cps was replaced, was advised that cps failure can happen often, even with a new unit. Old cps is available. No accident has occurred yet but I'm concerned that another cps failure could be catastrophic.

Vehicle: ford type: f350 diesel 7.3l - 2001 issue: the engine stalled and would not start. Cause of this could have been related to idm module (injector module) as from the ford diagostic sheet (code p1298); the issue has not been solved by the ford dealer, being blamed on low voltage batteries. The "dead" bateries were a cause of the idm module (engine would turn but no fuel injection present). At this moment the idm module was still not replaced, and ford still blames the batteries. This is a significant risk factor due to the fact tha t it may occur on a hwy., and a heavy truck like a f350 can not be stopped instantly. Also this may cause loss of steering and power brakes.
