I experienced the same symptoms described in the camshaft position sensor recall which affects E-series vans. On 05nov07 my engine light came on and my engine began to hesitate, as if it would stall. I took the van to the Ford dealer on 06nov07. They said they could not find anything wrong. They reset the codes and the engine light went off. On 09nov07 the engine light came on again and the engine began to run sluggishly. I did not drive the van over the weekend because I was afraid it would stall while I was driving. On 12nov07 the dealer replaced the dpfe sensor at a cost to me of $364.04. I contacted Ford corporation on 06dec07 requesting reimbursement for the repair. My request was denied. Failure of dpfe sensor has the same results and the same safety implications as the failure of the camshaft position sensor. Ford should include this failure in the recall as well, or someone will be hurt eventually.

My 97 Ford E150 has the 5.4 motor in it. The problem I am having is spark plug blow outs. This is my second in a years time. This could cause a fire due to raw fuel coming out of the spark plug hole and the coil land on the head could case a spark and boom bad fire.

Vehicle has a vibration problem, most noticable at between 58 and 65 mph. The dealer has made eight attempts to repair the vehicle and I have been without the vehicle for over 30 days. I met with a manufacture rep at flagler Ford who told me they were going to give me back all of the money paid on this vehicle except for $700 for milage used providing I bought another Ford vehicle. During my search I test drove three other Ford vans, all of which had similar vibration problems. I finally found one that I was willing to accept, and when the manufacturers rep was contacted, she did not live up to her committment. I am now asking for arbitration and relief under the lemon law.

Motor acts like it is choking and won't take gas. It sometimes dies and have to restart. Vehicle sometimes dies when slowing down to turn at intersection, causing you to stop in middle of traffic. Brakes are not good. When applied hard they vibrate very bad.
