This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The wires for the camshaft position sensor are failing just like they have in others models of the f series and cause the truck to suddenly die while driving. There was already a recall in place but it doesn't cover this vin and so I would like to request the recall be extended to this trucks vin

While driving 30 mph vehicle stalled without warning. This caused loss of steering and brakes. Dealer replaced computer and a couple of sensors, however, problem still recurred.
Vehicle fire from underneath dashboard. Prior to the vehicle fire, the six disc cd changer was replaced due to electrical failure. The damage was sustained through no fault of the owner, while under warranty, due to an electrical/mechanical failure, which is why the owner would like Ford to replace the vehicle. Ford did agree but the process had taken an extraordinarily long time and continued to move at a unacceptably slow pace. The consumer has incurred major travel expenses as a result of Ford not supplying a rental vehicle compatible to the Ford F350.
