Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving a 2001 ford f250 super duty truck with a diesel motor, i was driving on a rural road going about 55 mph when the motor died for no reason. i coasted to the side of the road and called for help because the truck would not start. i had the truck towed to the dealer and they said the cam position sensor went bad. when this part goes bad the engine goes dead. the problem is these trucks are made for towing trailer and when the motor dies for no reason you have no power to steer the truck and the brake no longer work. this part needs to be recalled and fixed. i have talked with several people who have had this happen to them as well. this is a very dangerous problem that is going to get someone hurt or killed. *la
