What 1991 Ford E-350 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Fuel pump failed causing vehicle to shut down on several occasions.
This was the inboard tire of a pair on the right rear of the vehicle. While traveling on interstate 70 eastbound out of kansas city it exploded, splitting the steel belts crosswise. Except for the area of the blowout the tire remained relatively intact and did not separate. The ambient temperature at the time was approximately 85 degrees f. No road hazzards were observed or felt prior the the explosion. Tire pressures had been checked 30 mile earlier and were 60-65 psi per vehicle manual. Protruding belts struck the sewage holding tank knocking a corner out of it and spilling cargo on the highway. Vehicle was brought to a stop on outboard tire without accident.tire was purchased on 8/5/99 in temple texas from firestone store #007196-4361, had approximately 6000 miles on it over some extremely hot roads. A replacement tire (cooper tire) was purchased from higginsville tire service higginsville mo 64037 660‑584‑2504. Higginsville dealer examined tire and said that he could not identify any trauma in area of blowout and presumably gave credit based on 70 percent tread wear(which seemed excessive to me). No credit was documented on the invoice but tire was cheaper than I would have expected and cheaper than the one that blew up. (tiresize: 215/85/r16)( dot number: tire size: 215/85/r16 )
While driving in the middle of highway motor will quit. Consumer manages to get it to the side.
I have had the vehicle and parts to two different transmission shops and both have told me that this never should have happened. Both the drum and shaft of the torque converter have stripped. I still have the parts and would be willing to share them with ford if a settlement is possible.
Engine stalls.
Electrical fire, orinating in the gas tank, wires not being fused.
Dealer refused recall repair on brake line due to VIN.
Cruise control failed.
Experienced a fire in the starter solenoid under hood and dash.
