WHILE DRIVE ON HIGHWAY,VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER WHEN I ENCOUNTERED A HILL. IT BOGGED DOWN AND STRUGGLED TO MAKE IT TO TOP OF HILL AND LOST SPEED DOWN TO 30 MPH OR LESS AND THEN DIED. IT WOULD NOT START RIGHT AWAY, BUT AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR 15 MINUTES, IT STARTED AND HAD REGAINED POWER AND I DROVE IT TILL I GOT TO THE NEST HILL AND DID THE SAME THING SEVERAL TIMES TILL I MADE IT HOME 3 HOURS LATER FOR A 10 MILE TRIP. I CHECKED ONLINE ON THE VEHICLE FOR FORD OWNERS FORUM AND SAW THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND DESCRIBED IT AS BOGGING DOWN AND LOSING POWER. SOME ONE SUGGESTED CHANGING THE EGR VALVE WHICH I HAD DONE, AND THE FUEL FILTERS AS WELL AS AIR FILTER. WHEN I REMOVED THE BOTTOM FUEL FILTER UNDER THE VAN, I CAPTURED THE FUEL IN THE FILTER AND LINE AND IT HAD WHAT LOOKED LIKE SILVER PAINT. I KEPT THE SAMPLE AND IT IS SOFT AND PLIABLE. I ASSUMED IT WAS A PROTECTIVE COATING LINING THE FUEL TANK. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING,BECAUSE IT COULD DO DAMAGE TO THE INJECTORS AND OTHER THINGS. *TR

THIS BUS IS OWNED BY FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF GRANT, AL. ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO WE STARTED HAVING TIMES WHEN THE BUS WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. OUR MECHANIC HAS CHECKED IT FOUR DIFFERENT TLIMES, HOWEVER, EVERY TIME EXCEPT THIS TIME (5TH TIME) IT STARTED WHEN HE WENT TO CHECK IT. THIS TIME WE WERE TAKING OUR SENIORS ON A TRIP, BUT WHEN WE WENT TO CRANK IT, IT CRANKED BUT WOULD NOT START. WE HAD IT TOWED TO WOODY ANDERSON FORD IN HUNTSVILLE, AL. I SPOKE WITH THE TRUCK SERVICE MANAGER TODAY AND HE TOLD ME THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS WAS BAD. THIS BUS ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN AT WOODY ANDERSON FORD 4 DAYS. I KNOW RECALLS ARE BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER PRIMARILY. THIS IS A LIKE NEW BUS AND ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL INJECTORS, TURBO CHARGER, AND A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SENSORS. ANYONE WITH ANY COMMON SENSE KNOWS THAT IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR AN ENGINE WIRING HARNESS TO GO BAD. FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING AN ENGINE COMPONENT THAT SHOULD LAST AS LONG AS YOU OWN THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME VEHICLES WITH A 6.0L DIESEL ENGINE WITH PROBLEMS LIKE OURS, IT IS RECALL # 05S34. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD COST $3000.00 TO REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS. THIS SHOULD BE A FORD MOTOR COMPANY PROBLEM. THANKS FOR READING AND CONSIDERING MY COMPLAINT. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. MY NAME IS STEVE STANFIELD. I AM THE PASTOR. MY EMAIL IS [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVING UPHILL ON I-70 EASTBOUND BY SILVERTHORNE, CO THE ENGINE SIMPLY QUIT. LIMPED TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND TRIED TO RESTART - NOTHING. BATTERIES ARE NEW, ETC JUST NO TURNING OVER OF THE ENGINE. THOUGHTS ARE A BAD FICM, WHICH THERE IS SUPPOSEDLY A RECALL BUT FORD DENIED THAT WHEN I CALLED THIS MORNING. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A SHOP IN ARVADA, CO FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS. SOUNDS LIKE THE EGR SYSTEM IS ABOUT TO GO, THE FICM IS SHOT AND WIRING HARNESS FOR COMPUTER IS GONE - ALL THINGS FORD IS AWARE OF BUT ADAMANTLY REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT. THIS LEAVES THE CONSUMER IN THE POSITION TO HAVE TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF $'S TO REPAIR THEIR DESIGN FLAWS. *TR

2005 FORD E350. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RECALL NOTICE FOR VEHICLE TIRES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT B.F.

I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE HAVING A SUDDEN MISS FROM THE ENGINE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. SATURDAY THE SPARKPLUGS AND ONE COIL PACK WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NEXT DRIVEN ON SUNDAY EVENING WHERE APPROX. 1/2 MILE FROM THE HOME THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY POWER TO THE STEERING AND BRAKES. INSTRUMENTS LIGHTS WERE STILL WORKING BUT DROPPED TO THE OFF POSITION. I OPENED THE HOOD AND SMELLED ELECTRICAL FUMES, NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG, I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY WITH A PAIR OF CHANNELOCKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOME AND I BEGAN TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. I FOUND THAT THE PCM/ECM HAD BEEN RENDERED PERMANENTLY NONFUNCTIONAL CAUSING THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE WIRING HAD A 1.5" BY 2" & 3/4" DEEP BURNT/MELTED AREA ON A ROUGHLY 2" ROUND HARNESS. I FURTHER FOUND THAT THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS FROM THE PCM/ECM IN THE FACTORY INSTALLED POSITION HAD BEEN RUBBING FOR SOME TIME ON AN EXHAUST COMPONENT WRAPPED WITH FIBERGLASS. THE PLASTIC WRAPPING AND METAL WRAPPING WAS OBVIOUSLY BREACHED AND EXPOSED THE WIRING TO BE GROUNDED TO THE EXHAUST COMPONENT AND ALSO WAS THE FIBERGLASS ON THE EXHAUST COMPONENT HAD WORN OFF EXPOSING BARE HEATED METAL. THE EXCESSIVE HEAT HELPED TO MELT INTO THE WIRING AND NO FUSES WERE BLOWN. THE PROTECTION HAD BEEN INADEQUATE TO PROVIDE A SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE IS A 5.4L GASOLINE WHICH THE SEALED FUEL SOURCE IS APPROX. 1 FT. AWAY. I THINK ANY OF THE E-SERIES VANS THAT YEAR NEED TO BE INSPECTED BECAUSE OF STALLING AND FIRE ISSUES. I AM A 6'2 230 LB PERSON AND HAD DIFFICULTY SLOWING THE VEHICLE ON A VACANT STREET, STEERING WASN'T AS BAD BUT REQUIRED ADEQUATE FORCE. I DO HAVE PHOTOS OF THE HARNESS AND EXHAUST COMPONENT. THE ECM/PCM IS ROUGHLY $1200.00 AND THE WIRING HARNESS IS AROUND $670.00 BEFORE ANY LABOR OR TECHNICAL COSTS. I WILL INSPECT ALL THE OTHER WIRE LOCATIONS FOR OTHER ISSUES. *TR
