TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD E 350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT PRIOR TO THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONING HE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND A CRASH COULD HAVE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT ON A 2006 FORD E350 5.4 LITER ENGINE. CAUSES FUEL TO SPRAY OUT AND FIRE TO IGNITE. THIN ALUMINUM HEAD IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD SPARK PLUG IN PLACE. THERE ARE OVER 5 MILLION WEB PAGES CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE FUEL TANK IN MY DIESEL FORD VAN (2006) IS DELAMINATING. I HAD 2 INJECTORS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE FUEL REGULATOR AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK.($2,000) FORD WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PART FAILURE. NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FILTERS AS A RESULT. THE REPAIR WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL $2,000. FORD IS BLAMING THE DIESEL FUEL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I ONLY FILL UP AT MAJOR FUEL STATIONS AND WHEN I DO THERE IS ONLY 1 CHOICE FOR DIESEL FUEL AT THE PUMP.

DELAMINATION OF FUEL TANK CAUSING CLOGGING OF FUEL SYSTEM AND ENGINE STALLING. *TR

APPARENTLY THE ADVANCED TRACK SYSTEM (STABILIZES THE VAN TO PREVENT ROLLOVER) AUTOMATICALLY PERFORMS TESTS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT DOES IT RANDOMLY AND WHILE I'M DRIVING. WHEN IT IS IN TEST MODE, I TEMPORARILY LOOSE CONTROL OF MY BRAKES AND STEERING!!!!! IT SEEMS MORE FREQUENT IN THAT IT HAS DONE IT TWICE IN THE PAST MONTH, TODAY BEING ONE OF THE TIMES. I ACTUALLY REAR ENDED SOMEONE TODAY BECAUSE MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK!!!!!! I THINK THE SYSTEM IS A GOOD IDEA BUT THE SELF TESTING CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL IS DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW I HAVE A TICKET, A RECORD, 2 VEHICLES TO REPAIR AND PROBABLY AN INCREASE IN INSURANCE! GREAT VAN BUT THIS PART SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

FORD 6.0 DIESEL ENGINES HAVE ISSUES IN RESPECT TO THE SEALS ON THE OIL PUMPS FOR THE INJECTION SYSTEM. IT IS NOT A QUESTION OF IF THE SEALS WILL FAIL, IT'S WHEN. WHEN THE SEALS FAIL, THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY LEAVING THE DRIVER WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I HAVE TWO (2) VEHICLES FAIL IN TRAFFIC CAUSING THE DRIVERS TO ATTEMPT TO EXIT THE ROADWAY WITHOUT BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE "O-RING" SEALS USED THROUGH-OUT THE INJECTION SYSTEM. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE THE OLD PARTS AVAILABLE, BUT WITH APPROXIMATELY TEN OF THESE VEHICLES IN OUR FLEET, I'M SURE IT WON'T TAKE LONG BEFORE ANOTHER ONE FAILS. THIS EFFECTS ALL 6.0 FORD DIESEL MOTORS IN ALL MODEL VEHICLES FROM 2004-2008. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS MOTOR. AS MENTIONED, IT IS NOT A QUESTION OF IF THE ENGINE WILL FAIL, BUT WHEN. *TR
