Two problems related to automatic transmission torque converter have been reported for the 2005 Ford E-450. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle lost power and stopped running while moving at a speed of 55 mph. Vehicle dangerously skid to a complete stop in the middle of a busy highway, unable to drive onto shoulder. Had to be towed into dealership. Vehicle purchased on 06/14/2005 for $58,000, incident happened 07/08/2005, and vehicle is still in shop as of 08/01/2005. The vehicle only had 3,700 miles on it when this happened. Dealership said the torque converter went out. This vehicle was to be used to transport tourist safely to and from our tour location. I purchased this new vehicle for reliability and safety. It is neither reliable nor safe. After viewing this website I found that I am not the only person with a complaint about a defective torque converter, transmission, etc. On a 2005 Ford e450 with less than 4,000 miles on it. This is totally unacceptable.
Truck lost power and stopped running. Had to be towed into dealership. They found a small pin that lets the gears change broke and also the torque converter went out. Ford would not send them a new transmission and made them rebuild the old one. Torque converter on back order - estimated delivery date was February 25. Our problem occurred on January 12. The truck only had 3,600 miles on it when this happened. This is totally unacceptable.
