2001 Ford F-250 SD Electrical system Problems

“I recently bought a used 2001 Ford f-250 with the 7.3 diesel from the local Ford dealer. It had a recent computer reflash, should have told me something. Anyway the cps was bad in it. It would shut down, sometimes starting right back, sometimes after a few minutes. I got tired of the run around so I put a new cps in it myself. I have had no more problems, no thanks to Ford.”

“Furthest back spark plug blew while driving my 2001 Ford f250 pick-up. I only have 76100, miles on my truck the warranty just ran out the cost of repairing this is $4300. I was told that this is a factory defect and I want this problem put on the record, so that it can be investigated. I stopped driving as soon as I heard a noise and have kept my vehicle in top shape.”

“I have had multiple cps failures and each time the truck died while I was driving losing power steering brakes etc. It is very dangerous and a new part should be deisgned. The part number is f7tz-12k073-a. I have replaced this sensor mutliple times and every time it is replaced the engine starts right back up.”

“Truck had been parked in my driveway approximately 30 minutes when I heard a noise looked out and front of truck was engulfed in flames. No prior warning was given or noticed. Called 911, fire department arrived and extinguish the flames. Truck was totaled.”

“While driving with my 17 month old son, my truck just quit while on the highway. No warning, no steering, no brakes, etc. Would not crank immediately, took about 5-10 minutes before it started again, meanwhile I was blocking traffic and creating a life hazard to my family and other motorists. The truck would run for about 1 mile and die again, with no warning and in traffic. The problem was a cam sensor part css1603. This failure could easily cause an accident and needs to be recalled immediately!”
