2006 Ford E-350 complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IDLING FOR FIVE MINUTES OR MORE BLUE SMOKE CAME FROM THE EXHAUST AND THERE IS A STRONG EXHAUST ODOR. UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION THE SMOKE DISSIPATES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE ENGINE TURBO, THE EGR VALVE, THE AIR FLOW SENSOR AND PUT ADDITIVE IN THE FUEL TANK. THESE REPAIRS HAVE NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

THIS IS MY SECOND NOTE TO YOU ABOUT THIS, I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM YOU CONCERNING MY FIRST. FORD HAS BEEN SCAMMING PEOPLE FOR OVER 10 YEARS BY USING AN OIL PRESSURE SWITCH INSTEAD OF A PRESSURE TRANSDUCER IN ALL THEIR VEHICLES (INCLUDING MY NEW 2006 E350). IT DOES NOT INDICATE THE AMOUNT OF OIL PRESSURE (LIKE ALL GAUGES DO) ONLY IF THERE IS PRESSURE OR NOT, BASICALLY THE SAME AS AN IDIOT LIGHT. THEY TELL US WE ARE BUYING A VEHICLE WITH A GAUGE AND IT IS NOT REALLY ONE. I HAVE 9 EXPERTS AND MECHANICS THAT WILL TESTIFY ON MY BEHALF AND DOZENS OF LETTERS FROM OTHER INDIVIDUALS. I WANT FORD TO REPAIR OR REFIT MY VEHICLE WITH A TRUE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE LIKE THE MANUAL SAYS, AND ALSO REFIT ALL OTHERS WHO THEY HAVE SCAMMED OVER THE YEARS TELLING THEM THEY HAVE A GAUGE WHICH INDICATES AMOUNT OF PRESSURE WHEN THEY ONLY GAVE US ONE THAT TELLS US IF WE HAVE SOME OR NONE. THANKS AND I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU ON THIS, IT SEEMS LIKE A CLASS ACTION SUIT IS APPROPRIATE. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE RUNNING BOARDS. THEY WERE DESIGNED TOO SMALL, WITH NO GRIP, SLANTED DOWNWARD, AND LOCATED TOO HIGH ON THE VEHICLE. A PASSENGER OF THE VEHICLE SLIPPED ON THE RUNNING BOARD, BUT SHE WAS NOT INJURED. THERE WERE NO HANDLES TO ASSIST THE CONTACT WHEN ENTERING THE VEHICLE. SEPARATELY, SHE NOTED THE INSIDE HANDLE ON THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WAS DIFFICULT TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS LEASED.*AK
