Defect. ON CERTAIN VANS, A DIODE IN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) MODULE MAY EXPERIENCE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT.

Risk. THE ELECTRICAL SHORT MAY CAUSE AN ABS MALFUNCTION THAT WOULD ILLUMINATE THE ABS WARNING LIGHT, OR THE MODULE MAY OVERHEAT RESULTING IN A BURNING ODOR, SMOKE, AND/OR FIRE. THIS CONDITION MAY OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN OR UNATTENDED.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW FUSE IN THE ABS CIRCUIT AND INSTALL A HEAT SHIELD OVER THE ABS MODULE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 15, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT FORD AT 1-800-392-3673. ALSO FORD IS EXTENDING THE LIMITED WARRANTY (FOR A ONE TIME REPLACEMENT) OF THE ABS MODULE FOR A TOTAL OF 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES FROM THE WARRANTY START DATE, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST. IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS ALREADY ACCUMULATED MORE THAN 150,000 MILES, THIS COVERAGE WILL LAST UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30, 2005.

AT 68,450 MILES, SEVERAL ISSUES OCCURRED: 1) OIL PRESSURE SWITCH BLEW OUT OF THE HOUSING, 2) OIL WAS VISIBLE IN COOLANT, 3) OIL WAS LEAKING FROM ENGINE, 4) IDLE VACILLATED UP AND DOWN W/O ANY ACTION ON PART OF THE USER. TOOK VAN TO DEALER, WHO CLAIMED TO HAVE REPAIRED THESE ITEMS. INSPECTION OF THE "REPAIRED VEHICLE" REVEALED OIL STILL DRIPPING OFF ENGINE ONTO GROUND. WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS "NORMAL" AND WOULD DISAPPEAR. HOWEVER, THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. ENGINE HAS CONTINUED TO LEAK AND OIL CONTINUES TO MIX WITH COOLANT FLUID, EVEN AFTER FLUSHING SYSTEM TWICE SINCE REPAIR. DESPITE NUMEROUS CALLS TO DEALER, PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. ENGINE HAS LESS THAN 13K ADDITIONAL MILES ON IT SINCE "REPAIR" AND OIL IS STILL LEAKING. LEAK CONTINUES TO GET WORSE WITH TIME. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND SINCE THE ENGINE HAS FAR LESS THAN 100K MILES ON IT, SHOULD BE REPAIRED AS A WARRANTY ITEM. MIXING OF OIL AND COOLANT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE PROGRAMMATICALLY ADDRESSED BY FORD.

ALL GAUGES STOP WORKING WHEN IT RAINS BUT STARTS AND RUNS OK. POWER WINDOWS DO NOT WORK WHEN IT RAINS BUT STARTS AND RUNS OK.

FUEL TANK DELAMINATION IN MY 2004 FORD E-350 HAS CAUSE A NEED FOR AN EXPENSIVE TOTAL FUEL SYSTEM REPLACEMENT. OBVIOUSLY IT IS A HUGE PROBLEM AS THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. FORD SAYS ITS THE BIO DIESEL THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, BUT ITS FUNNY HOW DODGE AND CHEVY AREN'T HAVING ANY PROBLEMS... *TR

I HAVE A FORD E-350 SUPER DUTY VAN THAT HAS HAD DRIVABLE PROBLEMS SINCE IT WAS NEW. AFTER MANY TRIPS TO DEALERSHIPS I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO FIX AT THIS TIME AND FORD SHOULD COME OUT WITH A FIX IN THE FUTURE. THE ENGINE DIES WHEN HOT AT TIMES CAUSING HARD BRAKING AND LOSS OF STEERING. AT 100699 MILES, JUST 699 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY THE ENGINE QUITE RUNNING WHEN HOT. IF IT SITS FOR 6 OR MORE HOURS IT WILL RESTART AND RUN FOR ONLY 20 MINUTES. FORD TOLD ME IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD PROVIDE NO ASSISTANCE. *TR

FUEL TANK LINER IS SEPARATING CAUSING CORROSION AND RUST IN THE FUEL TANK. FORD REFUSES TO WARRANTY THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE BLAMING IT ON THE DIESEL FUEL, WHICH IS INACCURATE. I HAVE ONE CONFIRMATION FROM A CUSTOMER THAT THEY FINALLY COVERED HIS REPAIR, HOWEVER, HE HAD TO LODGE COMPLAINTS WITH BOTH THE NHTSA AND THE BBB. SO I AM OFFICIALLY LODGING A COMPLAINT AGAINST FORD MOTOR COMPANY, STEVEN'S FORD (THE DEALER), AND THE WARRANTY COMPANY. THE SAFETY ASPECT OF THIS IS THE TRUCK STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND DOES NOT RESTART. THE TRUCK ALSO EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER WHEN GOING UPHILL. BOTH OF WHICH CAN CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM THAT FORD IS AWARE OF AND IS DENYING RESPONSIBILITY. I PERSONALLY KNOW OF AT LEAST 5 PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR E350 VANS DUE TO CORROSION IN THE FUEL TANK. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. (PLEASE NOTE THERE IS LESS THAN 36,000 MILES ON THIS, BUT FORD IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY, NEITHER IS THE WARRANTY COMPANY FROM WHICH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS PURCHASED) . FORD IS TRYING TO BLAME THE REASON ON USE OF MORE THAN 5% MIXTURE OF BIODIESEL AND IS SAYING THAT THE REASON THEY ARE NOT COVERING THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS RUST IN THE FUEL TANK. THE RUST IS A REACTION FROM THE FUEL IN A POORLY DESIGNED FUEL TANK. IF IT WERE A DIESEL FUEL PROBLEM THIS WOULD OCCUR IN DIFFERENT MAKES OF TRUCKS, NOT JUST FORD. THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM, THAT IS NOT ONLY A S
