2011 Ford E-250 problems

“THE PCM AT 34,000 MILES CAUSED TWO FUEL PUMPS TO BURN OUT IN 4 DAYS. A "WRENCH" WARNING SYMBOL APPEARED ON THE DASH AND THE VANS ENGINE DIES WHILE GOING AT HIGH SPEED (WE PULL A PRESSURE WASHING TRAILER HOLDING WITH HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS & WATER). IF IT WAS RAINING OR EVEN HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS COULD CAUSE A DANGEROUS LIFE THREATENING CRASH. ON WET ROADS THESE HEAVY COMMERCIAL VEHICLES CAN EASILY HYDRO-PLAIN WHEN THIS OCCURS PUTTING THE DRIVER & OTHERS IN DANGER WHO MAY BE IN THE PATH. WE ARE NOW WITHOUT OUR SERVICE VAN FOR 2 WEEKS & FORD ESTIMATED IN THE EXCESS OF $2600 IN REPAIRS ON A VEHICLE WITH JUST 34,000 MILES ON THE VAN.WE JUST REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION 3 MONTHS AGO. MY STEP FATHER IS 84 YEARS OLD WHO OWNS THIS VEHICLE AND HE IS A RETIRED NAVY CAPTAIN OF OVER 25 YEARS. HE AND I ARE BOTH CONCERNED THAT THIS VEHICLE IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT HIGH SPEEDS (60-70MPH) WITH THE LOADS WE CARRY IN OUR EVERY DAY SERVICE SCHEDULE. FORD SEEMS TO OFFER NO ASSISTANCE FINANCIALLY AND NO COMFORT IN RESOLVING THE SAFETY ISSUES RESULTING IN THE FAILURE OF THE PCM (POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE) WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY VERY DANGEROUS WHEN LARGE COMMERCIAL VEHICLES HAVE THE ENGINE…”

“LAST WEEK I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM MICHELIN NORTH AMERICA THAT MY CLAIM I PRESENTED IN WRITING ON MAY 18 HAD BEEN DENIED.

I AM THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS DROVE THIS VAN WITH JUST 33,000. MILES. AREA ATTORNEY'S WITH DEFECTIVE TIRE LITIGATION EXPERIENCE ARE PERSONAL "INJURY ATTORNEY'S". NO INJURY; NO INTEREST! THIS LARGE TIRE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE TIRE UNTIL THEY ARE FORCED UNDER JUDGEMENT AND THEN LIKELY ONLY AFTER PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES! ON 05/10/16 I WAS SOUTHBOUND IN CLEARWATER FL ON HWY 19 WHEN I HEARD A SUDDEN EXPLOSION. BEING IN THE FURTHERMOST RIGHT DRIVING LANE I PULLED OFF ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AT 12600 HWY 19. I FOUND THAT THE RIGHT REAR TIRE HAD COMPLETELY COME APART AND HAD BADLY BEATEN THE REAR PANEL OF MY VAN. AFTER PUTTING THE SPARE TIRE ON AND GETTING BACK HOME I CONTACTED MICHELIN CONSUMER CARE AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE TIRE…”

“A SHORT WHILE AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE LIGHT BULBS BURNT OUT. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE ALL THE BRAKE LIGHT BULBS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 3 MONTHS OR SO. AFTER A FEW BULB REPLACEMENTS I NOTICED THE SOCKETS THAT HOLD THE BULB STARTING TO LOOK BURNT. NOW ALL THE SOCKETS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ARE TO THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE COMPLETELY "FRIED" AND MELTED NEEDING REPLACED. *TR”
