I have a 2005 jayco 30ft. Motorhome with a 2005 Ford E-450 chassis and the 6. 8l v-10 engine. I am on a trip from georgia to vermont with this unit and am towing a 2008 Saturn vue. On Tuesday June 21, while traveling at aprox. 60mph on I-85n in s. Carolina, I had a complete and unexpected engine shut down while in a heavy traffic condition. I was able to pull over against the guard rail in an unsafe condition, and shut the ignition off and tried to restart the engine. It started up immediately and I continued driving for another 5 hours. On Wednesday June 22 while driving on I-81n in virginia the same situation occurred, and once again I was able to get onto the shoulder and shut down the engine and restart. As before, I was able to drive for another 5-6 hours without any problem. Upon arrival at my scheduled stopover campground, and fully aware as to how potentially dangerous this condition could be, I stopped my trip and contacted ¿Ford motorhome customer assistance center¿ on their toll free line and discussed the problem with one of their service personnel. They referred me to a dealership which is about 50 miles from here, but they are not able to look at the unit until possibly next Monday, June 27. I contacted the dealer and will bring the unit to them on Monday. Of course the major problems with this situation is trying to stop a heavy vehicle with the added push of the towed vehicle, the difficulty in trying to steer into a safe area, and the fear of the traffic behind me not stopping in time in order to prevent a rear end collision.

2006 Ford e450, unit #1 was entering turnpike onacceleration ramp. Trailer tires on #1 caught fire. Bf (ohio traffic crash report # 10-0590-91) updated 12/10/10 updated 02/14/11.
Problem: hesitation on acceleration, rough idles, loss of power upon acceleration. Injector found clogged on 12-2006. Replaced turbo assembly and cold air boot on 12/20/2006. Filed written complaint to Ford in April 2006 for recurring engine issues. Ford never answered. On 1/30/09 truck not running and Ford replaced the transmission. Asked Ford service to check rough running and engine power loss but computer showed no codes. Took truck into Ford on 1/21/20011 for brakes and vehicle not running properly even after warm up. Diagnosis from Ford --- found rust in the fuel filter, was told fuel tank needed replaced as well as injectors and injector pump and fuel lines. Cost to replace $5000 or more. Warranty ran out November 2010. Ford is now requiring vehicle owners to replace their fuel tanks and any ancillary parts at their own cost. Ford had to of known that there was a problem with the fuel tanks delaminating after 2004. As a small business owner in this economy having to spend extra money on a problem that could and should have been taken care of under warranty is egregious. My vehicle currently has 113,000 miles and to already have to replace a transmission and now the fuel tank is indicative of a defective vehicle. Ford is negligent in not acknowledging a potentially dangerous to life safety problem.
