My headlights and tail lights just come on all by themselves, or if you open or close the doors---they come on or go off. Really scary stuff. I took the cover off, and there is water inside the rear lights. I had this same problem on my f-150 truck in 1998. Why hasnt Ford fixed this problem by now???.

Brakes locked up and would not release nor slow the vehicle resulting in crash.
We purchased a 99 e250 cargo van in November 06, we are not sure if old owner had same problem, within 2 weeks we had problems with van starting. We only have the problem after the car is shut off. It does not stall while running. We can turn it off and try to start it right back up, it will not turn all the way over. We have replaced the fuel pump and had in the shop 3 times. They are unable to find anything wrong. It has been hooked up to a computer, when it is started it shows nothing wrong, when it won't start it won't read at all. With no rhyme or reason it will start on it's own. Sometimes it will be a few tries and sometimes it is days till it starts. Our mechanic is at a loss as to how to fix this. It has caused my husband to be stranded at jobs 4 times now.

Thru testing by a industrial hygentist we have proof that our handicapped van customed in miss in 2005 and sold as a brand new vehicle in 2006 was in fact defective and contains more formaldehyde above human consumption. This vehicle was returned the dealership in plant city, FL by flatbed so that no one would ever enter it again. The dealership kept it for a couple of hrs and flat bedded it back to my property because it is highly combustible and they did not want their dealership to explode but it is ok that my house and neighborhood has the explosion instead. They are aware of the problem and refusing to settle thru the lemon law therefore we are going to court. This vehicle and all other vehicles should be researched and find them all and destroyed. Why is the ntsha and osha allowing this product to be used in handicapped or any vehicle. The formaldehyde at high temp is a carrier of cancer. My family has severe reactions to this vehicle. I can not even go out of my house without a reaction to the air in the front yard. The temp is the vehicle is over 125 at times. This dept should have on the first complaint come out and checked this vehicle out and it should not be in a residential area but in fact in the lot of the dealership in a corner where if it did explode there would not be a large amount of damage. The dealership also had two employees that were extremely exposed like we were and still ignore the situation. My next step is the new media and tv stations to bring this out in the open. I file a report and because no one else has filed this complaint and maybe not aware of it yet you have done nothing to help. If you check carfax it is awfully strange why e250 Fords are being sold with less than 20,000 on them and are 2006 because people are getting sick from them and do not know why. This is a custom van which is completely rusted on bottom and water marks everywhere and built in mississippi and not a coincident.
