2004 Ford E-450 Owner Complaints

THE component system addressed, which is available for inspection, is the propane line routed through a jagged torched hole in the vehicle main frame; location is left-rear frame extension. Pictures are available. IF piping is allowed to remain, the propane line will sustain a propane leak with constant rubbing against the hole going through the frame. Our safety, and the safety of many others across the nation is at risk, specifically with the reports of motorhome fires to date. THE existing problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center at this time. THE existing problem has not been confirmed by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. NO indicators of any kind for system failure are included on this model. Propane smell or fire would be immediate. Problem appeared after news broadcast of last motorhome fire; I investigated problem on my own. TWO attempts to report this system problem failed when NHTSA would not accept or recognize vehicle VIN number.

My box truck caught on fire, fire started at the plug in receptacle that keeps the glow plug warm and spread from there. Luckily my across the street neighbor helped put out the fire temporarily with 2 of his fire extinguisher until the fire truck arrived, otherwise it would have been a major catastrophe.

I WAS DRIVING MY RV DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN THE INSIDE DUAL BLEW OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. BEFORE THE TIRE BLEW OUT I NOTICED A VIBRATION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE RV. A FEW MOMENTS LATER THE TIRE BLEW OUT AND THE TREAD CAME OFF COMPLETELY LEAVING ONLY THE SIDE WALLS. I DO NOT REMEMBER RUNNING OVER ANY OBJECTS IN THE FREEWAY AND HAD NOT HIT ANY POT HOLES. THIS TIRE WAS THREE YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD CHECKED AND VERIFIED THE TIRE PRESSURE BEFORE LEAVING AND ENSURED THAT I HAD INFLATED THE TIRES TO THE RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE PER THE VEHICLES OWNER MANUAL 80 PSI. THESE TIRES WERE THE DEFINITY DAKOTA LT225/75/16 TIRE. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED BY PEP BOYS AS I HAD PURCHASED THE HAZARD WARRANTY.

PROBLEM: HESITATION ON ACCELERATION, ROUGH IDLES, LOSS OF POWER UPON ACCELERATION. INJECTOR FOUND CLOGGED ON 12-2006. REPLACED TURBO ASSEMBLY AND COLD AIR BOOT ON 12/20/2006. FILED WRITTEN COMPLAINT TO FORD IN APRIL 2006 FOR RECURRING ENGINE ISSUES. FORD NEVER ANSWERED. ON 1/30/09 TRUCK NOT RUNNING AND FORD REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. ASKED FORD SERVICE TO CHECK ROUGH RUNNING AND ENGINE POWER LOSS BUT COMPUTER SHOWED NO CODES. TOOK TRUCK INTO FORD ON 1/21/20011 FOR BRAKES AND VEHICLE NOT RUNNING PROPERLY EVEN AFTER WARM UP. DIAGNOSIS FROM FORD --- FOUND RUST IN THE FUEL FILTER, WAS TOLD FUEL TANK NEEDED REPLACED AS WELL AS INJECTORS AND INJECTOR PUMP AND FUEL LINES. COST TO REPLACE $5000 OR MORE. WARRANTY RAN OUT NOVEMBER 2010. FORD IS NOW REQUIRING VEHICLE OWNERS TO REPLACE THEIR FUEL TANKS AND ANY ANCILLARY PARTS AT THEIR OWN COST. FORD HAD TO OF KNOWN THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANKS DELAMINATING AFTER 2004. AS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER IN THIS ECONOMY HAVING TO SPEND EXTRA MONEY ON A PROBLEM THAT COULD AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF UNDER WARRANTY IS EGREGIOUS. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 113,000 MILES AND TO ALREADY HAVE TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION AND NOW THE FUEL TANK IS INDICATIVE OF A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. FORD IS NEGLIGENT IN NOT ACKNOWLEDGING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO LIFE SAFETY PROBLEM.

VEHICLE: 2005 CHINOOK GLACIER CLASS C R/V, 2004 FORD E450 CUTAWAY CHASSIS. APPLICABILITY: ALL MODEL YEARS OF CHINOOK GLACIER R/V AND POSSIBLY OTHER MODELS. HAZARD: FIRE/EXPLOSION. COMPONENT: FLEXIBLE PROPANE HOSE CONNECTING 2 DISTRIBUTION MANIFOLDS UNDER COACH IN VICINITY RIGHT REAR WHEEL WELL. HOSE IS ROUTED OUTBOARD AND FASTENED TO THE AXLE ARCH FRAME MEMBER BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE RIGHT REAR SPRING. MINIMAL CLEARANCE BETWEEN SPRING AND HOSE ALLOWS SPRING AXLE MOUNTING HARDWARE TO ABRADE HOSE. THE HOSE ABRADED THROUGH AND BEGAN LEAKING. I NOTED PROPANE SMELL AND HEARD HISSING WHILE PREPARING FOR RECENT TRIP. THE LEAK WAS IN THE VICINITY OF THE EXHAUST PIPE, JUST FORWARD OF GAS GENERATOR AND IN VICINITY OF 55 GAL FUEL TANK. I BELIEVE THERE WAS LIKELIHOOD OF CATASTROPHIC EXPLOSION AND FIRE HAS THIS GONE UNNOTICED, PARTICULARLY IF PARKED AND GENERATOR RUNNING. CORRECTION REQUIRED REMOVAL OF RIGHT REAR DUALS TO ACCESS THE HOSE AND MOUNTING CLAMPS. HOSE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH NEW HOSE AND FITTINGS MADE UP BY LOCAL PROPANE COMPANY SERVICE PERSONNEL. NEW HOSE WAS RE-ROUTED ABOVE FRAME MEMBER SO AS TO PREVENT ANY POSSIBILITY OF CONTACT WITH SPRING HARDWARE. I BELIEVE THAT MOVING TO INBOARD OF FRAME IS NOT IDEAL AS THAT IS WHERE THE ENGINE EXHAUST PIPE IS ROUTED. BETTER SOLUTION MAY BE TO REPLACE THE FLEXIBLE HOSE WITH METAL TUBING. I CAN SUPPLY PHOTOS OF DAMAGED HOSE AND ORIGINAL PLACEMENT AS WELL AS MY REPAIR AND RE-ROUTING. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATORY MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL, HOWEVER, MANUFACTURER IS OUT OF BUSINESS. I BELIEVE THERE IS A STRONG LIKELIHOOD OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH AND MAJOR PROPERTY DAMAGE IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED. *TR
