What 2005 Ford E550 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Ford 650 truck, year 2005, total miles 15,000. Problem; rusting fuel tank clogging filters and fuel injectors.
I purchased my 2005 ford escape january 15, 2005. In april that same year was the first time I attempted to start my brand new truck and it would not start. The vehicle will crank but the engine will not turn over. This happens about every 3-4 months. I have taken it to my local dealer regarding this problem about 4 or 5 times and each tie they tell me they can't find any reason that it would be doing this. The last two times it happened I recall that it had been raining in my area so I don't know if that is a factor or not but the last time it happened was just before thanksgiving 2006.
Dt*: the contact stated the engine continued to stall. The dealer replaced 4 fuel injectors, 2 oil lines, and 2 oil pumps. The service dealer was unsure how to rectify the issue. The vehicle stalled while in gear, whether accelerating or not.
