This vehicle IS a motorhome, build on the 2005 E450 cab/chassis with a gas V10 engine. while driving in a single lane construction zone on the interstate the electronic throttle body system failed, and the engine suddenly stopped responding to the accelerator pedal. As a result the vehicle suddenly lost power and slowed to a very very low speed (a few inches per second). As traffic approached and built up behind I inched the vehicle onto the shoulder. The vehicle was unable to move under it's own power any further and required a tow. it was an extremely dangerous situation on a crowded highway, in a construction zone, with my family.

2013 during highway driving the brake caliper on the left rear stuck holding the brake pads against the disk. I noticed it when stopping for gas. As I removed the gas cap I saw considerable smoke rising around that left dual wheel. The wheel and tire was too hot to touch. Smoke got worse and afraid of the heat and proximity of the gas pump I moved the rv a safe distance away. I had the caliper, pads, and disc replaced. Later on a trip after repairs were made I had a tire blow out on left inside wheel. When the tire was removed I saw that it had been damaged from the extreme heat. on the way home from our 2015 christmas trip I felt as though the rv was not accelerating as it should but thought it was the up hill climb of the roadway. Again when I stopped for fuel I saw a wisp of smoke coming from the left rear wheel and the wheel was hot. I have not had the brake system checked out yet. I have a friend with a 2005 rv on a chevy chassis and had the same problem. In that case there had been a recall of the brake system. May not be related but sounds as if it could be the same problem.

On 5/19/2010 I purchased 6 chaparral tires size 2257516 for my 2005 dutchmen class c motorhome on a ford E450 chassis. While on a vacation trip to the west the 4 rear tires developed blisters. This initiated replacing all 4 of them. We decided to replace the front tires also because of the danger. Of a blow out. The tires had only 7945 miles on them. All this can be documented with receipts. I called the dealer where these tires were purchased and was told this IS a road hazard therefore not guaranteed. I maintain this IS not a road hazard but defects in the tires. This occurred on 9/11/2013. I contacted 2 companies on line that deal in this tire brand and have had no response. I am contacting you to make you aware of this condition and problem. I would like some sort of compensation from this company. I have asked for compensation but was ignored. *tr

I recently had three (3) bf goodrich tires (225/75r16e bfg comml) on my rv separate within 1,000 miles of each other. these tires were less than 3 years old - 2 failed with less than 10,000 miles and 1 failed within 11,000 miles of purchase. at the time of the separations we were in rural southern oregon about 1,000 miles from our home in southern california. the first incident occurred in may 2013 when 2 rear tires had separation at the sidewall and tread. at the time of the second incident in july 2013 another tire started separating at the tread. We replaced all 3 tires in oregon at the local tire dealer. at the time of the first separation, I contacted the dealer where I purchased the bf goodrich tires requesting his assistance in submitting a warranty claim. he told me there was nothing he could do until I returned home. I took pictures of all the separated tires inclusive of separation areas and dot numbers. upon returning home, the dealer said he needed the old tires for warranty claims. it IS ridiculous to expect us to carry 3 damaged tires around in our rv until we returned home. this IS especially unreasonable when he told me at the time of the first incident that there was nothing I could do at that time - that was when I could have made arrangements to ship the tires somewhere for inspection. I contacted the tire dealer's corporate customer service representative who made many calls to his supplier and bf goodrich. he could get no help for this issue without the old tires and actually was told by a bfg rep that "bfg did not make tires that failed". needless to say I was astonished to hear such an outrageous claim since 50% of the bfg tires I purchased in march 2011 failed due to separation with less than 12,000 miles and within 28 months of purchase. *tr

I have a 2005 jayco 30FT. Motorhome with a 2005 ford E-450 chassis and the 6.8L V-10 engine. I am on a trip from georgia to vermont with this unit and am towing a 2008 saturn vue. On tuesday june 21, while traveling at aprox. 60Mph on I-85N in s. Carolina, I had a complete and unexpected engine shut down while in a heavy traffic condition. I was able to pull over against the guard rail in an unsafe condition, and shut the ignition off and tried to restart the engine. It started up immediately and I continued driving for another 5 hours. on wednesday june 22 while driving on I-81N in virginia the same situation occurred, and once again I was able to get onto the shoulder and shut down the engine and restart. as before, I was able to drive for another 5-6 hours without any problem. upon arrival at my scheduled stopover campground, and fully aware as to how potentially dangerous this condition could be, I stopped my trip and contacted 'ford motorhome customer assistance center' on their toll free line and discussed the problem with one of their service personnel. they referred me to a dealership which IS about 50 miles from here, but they are not able to look at the unit until possibly next monday, june 27. I contacted the dealer and will bring the unit to them on monday. of course the major problems with this situation IS trying to stop a heavy vehicle with the added push of the towed vehicle, the difficulty in trying to steer into a safe area, and the fear of the traffic behind me not stopping in time in order to prevent a rear end collision. *tr

The vehicle does not always go into the correct gear, as indicated on the steering column. when using the automatic gear shift on the column, and placing the vehicle into "drive", the vehicle goes into reverse. when the gear shift IS moved to "reverse", it does not engage and stays in neutral. sometimes, the vehicle will hover in neutral then suddenly engage into 1ST gear without moving the gear shift. this issue was brought to ford's attention by us in 2007 (11000 miles) and 2009 (23000 miles), and the ford dealers could not find anything wrong with the linkages. they stated that they adjusted the indicator switch, but this intermittent problem has now returned. this IS a safety hazard when maneuvering in parking lots or other areas that require a change of direction. our ford engine IS inside a class c motorhome, so we don't have many alternative options for moving the vehicle when it does not go into the correct gear. we are concerned that the car will switch gears while in motion, causing us to lose control. *tr

Metrolift, the award winning transportation services provided for the disabled community of harris county texas by the metropolitan transit authority of harris county, texas (houston metro) has suffered unreasonable reductions in the quality of dependable service provided due to the very high level of engine problems in 2004-2005 ford E450 vans. metro has utilized the ford e-series para transit van as their vehicle of choice for two decades. Until now, past usage history for the e-series van at metro has proven to be generally reliable. The current vehicle configuration with the 6.0 liter engine has proven to be mechanically undependable and precarious. We have been communicating with several different transit authorities. Octa (orange county), island transit, marta, etc... And they have expressed similar concerns as we have. Enclosed IS a letter from thor industries addressed to mr. William ford, chairman of the board and ceo of ford motor company expressing serious safety and operating issues with the 6.0L diesel chassis. We have since learned that ford announced, they will be discontinuing producing the 6.0 liter engine and replace it with a more robust 6.4 liter engine. *Nm
