E-350

  • 28,000 miles
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!!

The contact owns a 2008 Ford E-350. Whenever the vehicle was parked for an extensive amount of time, the battery failed and could not be jumpstarted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the batteries failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired eight times; however, the failure recurred. In addition, the vehicle experienced two oil leaks and a diesel leak. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

E-350

  • 300,342 miles
Vehicle brokedown while traveling at about 45mph on SR20 in Washington state without warning and blocked traffic lanes, towed to shop where they found code P0191, swapped relay, unable to crank and verifed not fuel pressure. Found bolts broken off holding internal fuel pump, had to replace fuel tank and pumps. When finsihed vehicle would not crank, found burn markes on back of instrument cluster from short in fuel pump, replaced cluster and vehicle is running fine. More than a week down and just under $5,000 for repairs for a fuel pump failure that is internal to the fuel tank, the broken attachment bolts and instant loss of power (not being able to clear the roadway) is the reason for this filing.
