I purchased this 28' shasta class c motorhome from a private party. All reciepts from work history were included. Upon the first time out, towing my 1200 lb boat to lake mead ( no significant hills as I live in las vegas ), the motorhome ran beautiful, even up to the point of parking. I came out two days later to start it when I noticed the battery as drained. Upon looking under the hood, I noticed it had caught on fire, burning 2 injectors and other wiring located in the same vacinity. I replaced injectors, relays, fuel pump, all hoses, coil, etc. . . The best guess is the diverter from thermactor may have caused, but regardless this was a factory issue. It still doesn't run, going to replace ecm, inertia sw, etc until it does. Just grateful it didn't burn up everything.
This bus is owned by first baptist church of grant, al. About one year ago we started having times when the bus would crank but not start. Our mechanic has checked it four different tlimes, however, every time except this time (5th time) it started when he went to check it. This time we were taking our seniors on a trip, but when we went to crank it, it cranked but would not start. We had it towed to woody anderson Ford in huntsville, al. I spoke with the truck service manager today and he told me the engine wiring harness was bad. This bus only has 30,000 miles on it. It has been at woody anderson Ford 4 days. I know recalls are based on the VIN number primarily. This is a like new bus and already had to replace the fuel injectors, turbo charger, and a couple of different sensors. Anyone with any common sense knows that it is not normal for an engine wiring harness to go bad. Ford motor company needs to be held accountable and responsible for replacing an engine component that should last as long as you own the vehicle. There is a recall on some vehicles with a 6. 0l diesel engine with problems like ours, it is recall # 05s34. The Ford dealership said it would cost $3000. 00 to replace the wiring harness. This should be a Ford motor company problem. Thanks for reading and considering my complaint. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My name is steve stanfield. I am the pastor. My email is [xxx] [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I had an issue with the vehicle having a sudden miss from the engine while on the freeway. Saturday the sparkplugs and one coil pack was replaced. The vehicle was next driven on Sunday evening where approx. 1/2 mile from the home the vehicle shut off without any power to the steering and brakes. Instruments lights were still working but dropped to the off position. I opened the hood and smelled electrical fumes, not being able to see what was wrong, I disconnected the battery with a pair of channelocks. The vehicle was towed home and I began to investigate the issue. I found that the pcm/ecm had been rendered permanently nonfunctional causing the vehicle shut off. The wiring had a 1. 5" by 2" & 3/4" deep burnt/melted area on a roughly 2" round harness. I further found that the main wiring harness from the pcm/ecm in the factory installed position had been rubbing for some time on an exhaust component wrapped with fiberglass. The plastic wrapping and metal wrapping was obviously breached and exposed the wiring to be grounded to the exhaust component and also was the fiberglass on the exhaust component had worn off exposing bare heated metal. The excessive heat helped to melt into the wiring and no fuses were blown. The protection had been inadequate to provide a safe operation of the vehicle. The engine is a 5. 4l gasoline which the sealed fuel source is approx. 1 ft. Away. I think any of the e-series vans that year need to be inspected because of stalling and fire issues. I am a 6'2 230 lb person and had difficulty slowing the vehicle on a vacant street, steering wasn't as bad but required adequate force. I do have photos of the harness and exhaust component. The ecm/pcm is roughly $1200. 00 and the wiring harness is around $670. 00 before any labor or technical costs. I will inspect all the other wire locations for other issues.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford E-350. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled on three occasions. On the first occasion, he took the vehicle to the dealer, but they were unable to determine the cause of failure. On the second occasion, the vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the dealer. The cam sensor was replaced. The vehicle stalled the following day and was towed to the dealer once again. The vehicle started the following day without incident. The vehicle was still at the dealer as of July 27, 2007. The dealer stated that recall number 05v270000 (electrical system:wiring) did not apply to his vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle has no throttle response before the stalling occurs. During stalling, the vehicle lost all power and was difficult to steer and brake. All of the lights on the instrument panel illuminated during the failure. The VIN and speed were unknown. The current mileage was 104,000 and failure mileage was 101,000.
The truck shuts off. It sometimes is intermittent (runs fine at cruise, but wont idle) or it could be absolute. (truck just up and died! no reason!) there is no timeline, no precursor, no warning. I can drive for 200 miles, then it happens, or 1 to 7 miles. The failure is a stall. Engine light comes on, if a stall comes and doesn't shut down the truck, (usually because the rpm's are being revved up. ) and is restarted, the engine light will no longer be on. The engine will restart, or not restart, but eventually it will restart. Then failure again. It started March 1 and continues. All else appears to be functioning fine. I believe it is the camshaft position sensor. I have not yet verified this with a mechanic, but if this is the problem a Ford part will be bought and it will be replaced.

: the contact stated while driving 25 mph, the engine stalled. The vehicle was able to be restarted after 20 minutes, and was taken to a service dealer where the problem was unable to be determined. There was a NHTSA recall # 05v270000, which pertains to the wiring. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN.
2006 Ford E-350's check light illuminated, the clutch fan had problems and there was a wiring defect.
2005 Ford E-350 had a wiring harness defect which caused the vehicle to run trough. The serpentine belt was replaced, the check engine light illuminated and the engine had to be rebuilt.
2005 Ford E-350 ambulance had a total engine failure while driving to a 911 call. The Ford dealership service center diagnosed a failure in the wiring harness as the cause and replaced it under warranty. The problem was forced to recur 2 times before it could be determined what was wrong. This vehicle also suffered a failure of the ac system, again replaced under warranty. This is compliant #4 of 6. All of the 2005 Ford ambulances we purchased have suffered total engine failures from either the oil pumps or the wiring harness systems. 3 of 6 have had the ac systems replaced as well. Ford is unwilling to replace these parts on the other units until they fail. They are placing numerous lives in extreme jeopardy and refuse to admit there are major problems with the 6. 0 l diesel engine in the 2005 series ambulance chassis.
The contact owns a 2004 Ford E-350. While driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled twice without warning. The vehicle was able to be restarted. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and they stated that the injectors caused the failure. The dealer stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 05v270000 (electrical system:wiring). The vehicle has been repaired more than 20 times and they always replace the injectors; however, the mechanic stated that the control module was the cause of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000 and current mileage was 332,000.
Ford e-450 6. 0l engine loses power, stalls, will not restart. Bayshore Ford service (wilmington DE) results in identified problems of defective exhaust back pressure sensors, throttle bodies and underhood wiring harness. This is a safety issue as vehicle stalls in traffic with passengers on board. These defects should be added to NHTSA recall # ) 05v270000.
Vehicle caught fire. Cause of fire was determined by Ford inspector to be a faulty electrical cable that shorted out due high moisture levels and no protection of cable.
