Angry Died While Driving On Freeway

OKAY GUYS, HERE'S ONE FOR YOU TO SOLVE SINCE THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING WRONG WITH MY EXCURSION. I WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH AND MY TRUCK STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START BACK UP AND COST OFF THE FREEWAY, IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. ALL THE WHILE I AM TRYING TO GET IT TO START IT IS BLOWING SO MUCH WHITE SMOKE, IT LOOKS LIKE I AM ON FIRE TOW TRUCK COMES, TO THE DEALERSHIP WE GO, AND ACCORDING TO THEM IT STARTED RIGHT UP THIS MORNING AND HAS BEEN RUNNING JUST FINE ALL DAY I AM A MOM WHO HAULS A BUNCH OF HOCKEY KIDS ALL OVER SOUTHERN CAL. THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK FOR ME. SO HELP ME OUT OR I AM GETTING A NEW EXCURSION AND IT JUST MIGHT HAVE TO BE GAS

sounds like the cps is going out. that's the camshaft position sensor. is the trk under warranty ? if so, it will cost the deductable $. if not, you can buy the sensor at the international dealer ( not ford ), 100.00 and put it in yourself or have a friend do it. i hate to inform you that a gas powered vehicle can fail just as quick as your diesel did. everything is electronic and can fail without much if any warning on all newer vehicles.

have a good day !

dying excursion

For gods sake do not abandon the diesel and go gas. It sounds like the cam position sensor. Make the dealer do a road test while monitoring the cmp. If they cannot go to another who can.
