Ford trucks 2008-10 are known to have turbo, emission and radiator problems. Causing the vehicles to stop running. They have a pipe before turbos that burns on the inside causing it not to clean out. We take good care of our vehicles, we do oil changes every 4000 miles, we change tires and keep everything clean and up to date. We did not run this vehicle hard. It was under warranty the first time we had trouble. In 2013 the vehicle was running at 28,000 miles and quit. It was suggested by Ford to clear emission. Turbos went out totally at 53,000 miles cost of $6700. Then at another 900 miles at 53900 it stopped again. The vehicle spent 2 and a half months in the shop before it would run again. They said the pipe before turbos burnt from inside making turbos quit. We got it out our cost $2300. They wrote off $2500 they said. Next day the radiator was cracked on the seam. Of course it wasn't the shops fault. So that was another $2000. The Ford company that fixed it said we should have ran it hard that then we wouldn't have had as many problems. It has 54000 and no Ford dealer even wants a truck made on their lot before 2010. So you know they should have some recalls. They won't stand behind anything!!.
Had three tires michelin come apart within 30 days the tire dealers I went to told me they appeared to have failed due to a manufacturing defect. When the tires failed they caused other damage to the auto traction control system and tire pressure monitor. They examined the spare and said it showed signs of same problem.
Traveling approximately 25 mph on smooth, flat paved road, the rsc (roll stability control) and abs (anti-lock braking system) lights came on with an annoying loud beep. We also felt a pulsation in the brake pedal when the driver pulled over. He turned the vehicle off and then restarted the vehicle. The warning lights turned off temporarily, but started up again. The problem is intermittent but reoccurs daily. We took it in to honolulu Ford where it was diagnosed for $225. 00 and the dealer quoted us $2,100. 00 to change both the electronic and hydraulic control units. We asked with such an expensive repair, can they guarantee this will fix the problem. They replied with "no". They wanted to start by changing these units first. I checked online and found a host of complaints from people that have same problem and some that paid for the expensive repair but found the problem only to continue, so naturally I am a skeptic to pay this repair cost and continue with problem. I thought perhaps you can help get Ford motor company to look into this problem.
Ford e-series vans. 2009-2012 e150, and e350 both as vans, and as passenger shuttles I am a commercial driver, I've spent my life with Ford vans (have not driven 04-08) 09+ newer vans occasionally do not stop below 15mph abs over sensitive and easily confused by slight downgrades, potholes, sand, rr tracks, light snow over compact snow, wet brick, or slight ice too often I must rely upon downshifting to stop before the intersection numerous vans, various tire conditions (great to poor), all have the same issue can take 13-20 seconds to go from 15mph to 0mph relying on abs alone, which our other vehicles are just fine on the same stretch of road (stop in about 3-5secs) the abs is amazingly good on level ground, but slight downgrades + a previous listed element confuses the system and will deny the driver brake pressure the abs is dangerous in winter (occasionally) I was driving these fans over 40 hours a week, every week since we got them in 09'. I learned to drive on a 94, our work had a 95 and an 03, which were fine in winter (but broke down after my first year of employment there). The 09's and newer were the problem. The traction control set a new level of danger in fluffy snow. Sometimes these rwd vans would understeer, but the tc was over zealous and you could not correct under steer. The tc could not be completely turned off either. So they would be stuck on the ice, and unsteerable in the fluffy stuff I've been driving for 15 years, never had an accident, I study rally racing techniques, and I am shocked these new Ford vans made safety regulations "America's drivers should feel confident that anytime they get behind the wheel they can easily maintain control of their vehicles -- especially in the event of an emergency"-ray lahood. These systems should not override driver inputs, professional, experienced drivers inputs.
Subject:esc is not really standard on the Ford e350 comments: I drive a 2009 e350 commuter van that does not have esc. But your web site safecar. Gov indicates that esc has been standard on this van since 2006. In fact, Ford sells conversion vans without esc and the nc dot specifies them for purchase. Perhaps as many as 48 other states do the same. . Read more...
Nhtsa item number 10021216 most of the vehicles in the dcas managed fleet, as well as most of the vehicles at dept of correction have this condition occurring. This leads to deactivation of the abs system, and a lack of safe braking under certain conditions. Ford will not extend any warranty consideration once the vehicles have come off warranty. The city of new york is being charged approximately $1,500 for each vehicle needing out of warranty service. Considering the safety nature of this failure, I think Ford should have a recall.
