problem #1

Mar 012017

E-250 8-cyl

  • 76,000 miles
My transmission went about two weeks ago. I was told that Ford had bad transmissions in the years of my van, by the mechanic. Then Friday night I was driving along and the van started acting funny, not accelerating and a wrench light came on. Then a little engine light came on and my car died. I got it to go about 30mph on the expressway and got it to the garage. :[ I looked up what happened and found out that the throttle body problem is common in the Ford, just not the E250. But it is the same problem as the escape, so obviously a Ford problem!! I have already put in a new transmission and now this. I feel that these things should not go after only 9 years. This vehicle is for transporting my two boys in wheelchairs with a muscle disease. I need my car!!! but I am going broke! if these problems are Ford and you are fixing them for free within ten years, then that is what you should do! [xxx].
