2008 Ford E350 Problems

I WAS DRIVING ON I215 IN SALT LAKE CITY UTAH AT 65MPH WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I COULD NOT REGAIN CONTROL BEFORE IT RAN ME OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH NARROWLY MISSING A CONCRETE BARRIER AND ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO IMPACT, HOWEVER I AM NOT SURE HOW I KEPT IT FROM ROLLING THE TRUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THREE OTHER FORD TRUCKS RANGING FROM 2006 TO 2008 THAT I USED TO DRIVE AT WORK. AND NOW MY PERSONAL 2008 F350. I HEAR THAT THEY CALL IT THE DEATH WOBBLE. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS. *TR

THERE IS A LOUD "POPPING" NOISE WHEN THE BRAKING OF THE VAN COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. SOMETIMES I AM AFRAID THE VAN IS NOT GOING TO STOP ALL THE WAY. FROM WHAT I AM READING ONLINE, IT MAY BE UNDER PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO GO ABOUT GETTING RECALL INFORMATION, ETC. TO HAVE A FORD DEALERSHIP FIX THIS PROBLEM. *JS

FORD TRUCKS 2008-10 ARE KNOWN TO HAVE TURBO, EMISSION AND RADIATOR PROBLEMS. CAUSING THE VEHICLES TO STOP RUNNING. THEY HAVE A PIPE BEFORE TURBOS THAT BURNS ON THE INSIDE CAUSING IT NOT TO CLEAN OUT. WE TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR VEHICLES, WE DO OIL CHANGES EVERY 4000 MILES, WE CHANGE TIRES AND KEEP EVERYTHING CLEAN AND UP TO DATE. WE DID NOT RUN THIS VEHICLE HARD. IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE FIRST TIME WE HAD TROUBLE. IN 2013 THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AT 28,000 MILES AND QUIT. IT WAS SUGGESTED BY FORD TO CLEAR EMISSION. TURBOS WENT OUT TOTALLY AT 53,000 MILES COST OF $6700. THEN AT ANOTHER 900 MILES AT 53900 IT STOPPED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE SPENT 2 AND A HALF MONTHS IN THE SHOP BEFORE IT WOULD RUN AGAIN. THEY SAID THE PIPE BEFORE TURBOS BURNT FROM INSIDE MAKING TURBOS QUIT. WE GOT IT OUT OUR COST $2300. THEY WROTE OFF $2500 THEY SAID. NEXT DAY THE RADIATOR WAS CRACKED ON THE SEAM. OF COURSE IT WASN'T THE SHOPS FAULT. SO THAT WAS ANOTHER $2000. THE FORD COMPANY THAT FIXED IT SAID WE SHOULD HAVE RAN IT HARD THAT THEN WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD AS MANY PROBLEMS. IT HAS 54000 AND NO FORD DEALER EVEN WANTS A TRUCK MADE ON THEIR LOT BEFORE 2010. SO YOU KNOW THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME RECALLS. THEY WON'T STAND BEHIND ANYTHING!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD E-350. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME, THE BATTERY FAILED AND COULD NOT BE JUMPSTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERIES FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED EIGHT TIMES; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED TWO OIL LEAKS AND A DIESEL LEAK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE CAR WAS VIBRATING INCESSANTLY. A LOUD BANG, THUD HEARD FROM THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. PULL OFF THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY 220, SOUTHBOUND, ABOUT 10 MILES NORTH OF HICO, TX. THE ENTIRE RUBBER AROUND THE STEEL BELT WAS STRIPPED OFF. THE BLOW OUT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BOARD AND TIRE WHEEL AREA. I PURCHASED THESE 4 TIRES ON 7/21/11 SO THERE ARE ONLY 2 YRS OLD WITH ABOUT 20-25 MILES ON THEM. BEFORE THIS BLOW OUT, I ACTUALLY REPLACED TWO OF THE OTHER TIRES REPLACED WEEKS BEFORE. ONE ON OF THEM, THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE TIRE HAD A GIANT BULGE. 3000 MILES LATER, ALMOST 2 WEEKS, THE SECOND TIRE STARTED STRIPPING OFF THE RUBBER AND TEARING APART. CAR SHOOK THEN TOO. THE THIRD TIRE (STORY IN FIRST PARAGRAPH) COMPLETELY TORE APART BEFORE WE COULD GET TO A SAFE SPOT TO CHECK IT OUT. WHEN EACH TIRE HAD A NOTICEABLE PROBLEM, I DID THE FOLLOWING: 1. FIRST TIRE: IMMEDIATELY WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE COMPANY FOR REPAIR 2. SECOND TIRE: PUT ON SPARE (IT WAS JULY 4TH) 3. THIRD TIRE: PUT ON SPARE BECAUSE TREAD HAD SEPARATED. ONE TIME IS FLUKE, TWO TIMES IS A COINCIDENCE, THREE TIRES FAILING WITHIN 5 WEEKS IS A DEFINITE PATTERN. PLEASE REVIEW THESE TIRES. *TR

TRAVELING WESTBOUND IN HWY 54 EAST OF STRATFORD, TX THE LEFT REAR TIRE EXPLODED ON OUR 2008 PLEASURE-WAY RV. THIS RV IS BUILT ON A FORD E350 CHASSIS. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE AND DRIFTED INTO THE PATH OF AN ONCOMING TRACTOR-TRAILER. DRIVER STEERED VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID THE ONCOMING TRUCK, THE RV CROSSED OVER THE ROAD INTO A DITCH ON THE RIGHT, AGAIN TURNED TO THE LEFT AND RE-ENTERED THE ROADWAY AT A SHARP ANGLE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL ONTO ITS RIGHT SIDE. PASSENGER 1 SUSTAINED A BROKEN RIGHT SHOULDER AND BACK INJURIES, PASSENGER 2 SUSTAINED A SEVERELY SPRAINED WRIST. TIRE PRESSURE WAS CHECKED BEFORE BEGINNING THE TRIP, AND TIRES WERE VISUALLY INSPECTED AT A REST STOP 90 MINUTES BEFORE INCIDENT. VEHICLE WAS LIGHTLY LOADED AND WELL BELOW GVWR. THESE WERE OEM TIRES WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES AND HAD ALWAYS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING BEFORE THE TIRE FAILED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE REAR AND SIDE DOORS WILL POP. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY'RE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED. THEY DO NOT COME OPEN JUST COME LOOSE. VERY WORRY SOME. I DO HOME CHILD CARE. I ALSO HAVE 7 CHILDREN OF MY OWN.

THE SIDE BACK DOORS TO MY FORD E350 12 PASSENGER VAN KEEP POPPING LOOSE WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS, WHETHER ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN URBAN AREAS. IT OCCURS ON A DAILY BASIS ABOUT EVERY 15-20 MILES. I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND OPEN BOTH DOORS AND RE-CLOSE. LOCKING THE DOORS DOES NOT HELP. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ADJUSTED THE DOORS AND OILED THE HINGES AND LATCHES. *TR

WE HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON DRIVING 55 MPH IN A VERY LIGHT WIND. FOR 20 MILES , HANDLING WAS ACCEPTABLE. WITHOUT WARNING THE VAN ROLLED TO THE LEFT ABOUT 15 DEGREES FOLLOWED BY A ROLL TO THE RIGHT ENTERING A SERIES OF ROLLS FIRST LEFT THEN TO THE RIGHT. EACH OSCILLATION WAS LARGER THAN THE LAST. RECOVERY WAS SUCCESSFUL BY SLOWING TO 30 MPH WITHOUT BRAKING. AIR BAGS WERE 55 PSI EACH FRONT TIRES WERE 55 PSI , REAR TIRES 80PSI. WATER TANK WAS EMPTY, GRAY AND BLACK WATER TANKS WERE EMPTY. THE VAN IS VERY DANGEROUS IF DRIVEN OVER 40MPH. *TR
