2011 FORD E-350 Complaints

CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEALERSHIP DECIDED NOT TO HONOR TIRE RECALL. *SMD ALL 6 TIRES WERE INSPECTED AND FOUND TO BE A PART OF THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED TO TRY ANOTHER ESTABLISHMENT. HOWEVER, THE RETAILER STATED THEY WERE A SMALL BUSINESS, AND COULD NOT AFFORD TO HONOR THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER DECIDED TO PAY CASH FOR THE TIRES. *JB

CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE TIRES RECALL NOTICE AND SEEKS CORRECT REIMBURSEMENT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED ALL 4 OF THE TIRES FAILED, BEFORE HE RECEIVED THE RECALL. MICHELIN SENT HIM A CHECK FOR $ 139.90. THE CONSUMER STATED THE REIMBURSEMENT WAS INSUFFICIENT. *JB

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM MICHELIN NORTH AMERICA, INC STATING THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON TIRES. I TOOK MY MOTORHOME TO AUTONATION FORD IN BRADENTON, FL FOR REPLACEMENT SINCE MY TIRES MATCHED THE RECALL NUMBERS (LTX M/S LT 225/75 R16 115/112R B3JH AKEX 3310). I WAS TOLD BY THE FORD SERVICE PERSON THAT MY TIRES WERE OK, THAT THEY DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE AFFECTED DATED. I CALLED MICHELIN AND GAVE THEM THIS SAME INFORMATION AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TIRES WERE INDEED COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. (DOT PRODUCTION PERIODS 0210-2512) I HAVE SINCE CALLED TIRE KINGDOM AND AM WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENT TIRES TO COME IN SO THAT THEY CAN BE REPLACED. I FEEL THAT THE FORD DEALER DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE RECALL NOTICE, OR MAYBE THEY DO NOT WANT TO DO THE REPLACEMENT, BUT THIS CONSTITUTES A SERIOUS LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF TIRE FAILURE.

MY GIRLFRIEND WAS FALLING ASLEEP, GOT OFF THE ROAD AND HIT A TREE. THE VAN IS TOTALED AND HAS A MAJOR DAMAGE ON THE FRONT. THANK GOD SHE DID NOT GET INJURED BUT I AM WORRIED WHAT WOULD NEED TO HAPPEN TO ACTIVATE THE AIRBAGS AT THIS VEHICLE AS THESE DID NOT OPEN AT THIS MAJOR CRASH. *TR

AMBULANCE ON RESPONSE TO EMERGENCY CALL. STEERING WHEEL "LET GO" CAUSING DRIVER TO LOSE ALL CONTROL. STEERING WHEEL COULD BE SPUN COMPLETELY 360 DEGREES VERY FAST. WE HAVE VIDEO OF THE CRASH AND STEERING WHEEL. WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS NOT A VEHICLE DEFECT IN AMBULANCES OF THIS TYPE. COULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHIC EVENT. *TR

VEHICLE JERKS INTO GEAR WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP, OR WHILE MOVING SLOWLY. VEHICLE WAS FALLING OUT OF THIRD GEAR AND REQUIRED CLUTCH REPLACEMENT. INTERMEDIATE CLUTCH SOLENOID REPLACEMENT. INTERMEDIATE CLUTCH PISTON NOT SEALING. REQUIRED TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL AFTER 8,500 MILES. AFTER SIX MONTHS AND 18,000 MILES, THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRED WITH SEVERE SLIPPING OF TRANSMISSION AT LOW SPEED.
