I WAS DRIVING MY 1995 RV WITH A FORD E350 CHASSIS ON THE FREEWAY IN LAS VEGAS APPROXIMATELY FIVE MILES FROM HOME WHEN I NOTICED A SLIGHT VIBRATION. I TRAVELED ANOTHER FIVE MILES AND THE REAR LEFT OUTSIDE TIRE LOST IT'S TREAD AND BLEW OUT RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL WELL AND DUMP HOSE STORAGE. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 110 DEGREES. MY SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WERE DELTA ESSENTIAL LT225/75 R16 AND WERE PURCHASED IN 2013. THEY HAVE BEEN DRIVEN 10,000 MILES AND VISUALLY APPEAR TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION. THE AIR PRESSURE IS CHECKED REGULARLY. THE MATED TIRE WAS CHECKED AND THE PRESSURE WAS AT THE RECOMMENDED 60 PSI.
WENT TO START COLD AND HIT STARTER SWITCH AND THE WALMART BATTERY BLEW UP. I HAVE PHOTOS. *TR
WHILE TURNING ON TO MY STREET THE THREE BOLTS HOLDING THE GEAR BOX TO THE FRAME SHEARED OFF CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
SEE SIMILAR GROUP WITH ALL TRUCKS ON THE NHTSA 93V-125-00V-424. *TR
THE FILLER NECK LEAKS GAS AT THE RUBBER HOSE. EVERY TIME YOU ADD GAS, DOES NOT HAVE TO BE FULL TANK. WE WERE GIVEN THIS VEHICLE WITH THE LEAK. CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE FIXED BY MECHANIC, WE HAVE A HOSE CLAMP AROUND THE RUBBER TO HOLD IT ON. THE ACTUAL METAL FILLER SECTION IN ROTTEN RUSTED AWAY. ONE TIME I PARKED AT A GAS STATION AND THEY THREATENED TO CALL POLICE TO HAVE ME TOWED, I NEVER HEARD OF THE GAS LINE LEAKING LIKE THIS BUT SEE ALOT ALOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS YEAR RANGE OF E150S. *TR
ON AUGUST 4, 2010, MY 22 YEAR OLD SON WAS A PASSENGER IN A FORD ECONOLINE E 250 VAN ON HIS WAY TO WORK, WHEN THE DRIVER SOME HOW LOST CONTROL, HIT THE GUARDRAIL AND WAS EJECTED ALONG WITH MY SON! THE DRIVER WENT OUT FIRST AND TOOK THE WORST OF THE IMPACT. HOWEVER, HE IS STILL ALIVE WITH MASSIVE INJURIES. MY SON WAS THROWN OUT SECOND ACROSS THE HWY AND DIED FROM BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA TO HIS HEAD AND TORSO. THE 3RD PASSENGER WAS REMOVED WITH THE JAWS OF LIFE. MY SON NOR THE DRIVER WERE WEARING SEAT BELTS FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD. HOWEVER, I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT MAY NOT HAVE MATTERED DUE TO THE IMPACT. THE 3RD PERSON WAS IN THE BACK AND A SEAT BELT WAS NOT AVAILABLE, HE WAS SITTING ON A "MAKE SHIFT" TYPE SEAT(?) MY QUESTION IS...WHY DID THIS VAN SUSTAIN THIS MUCH MASSIVE DAMAGE FROM A ONE VEHICLE CRASH? HOW DID THE "CRASH DUMMIES" SURVIVE? ALTHOUGH, IT IS AN OLDER MODEL,(1995) THERE'S SEEMS TO BE NO REASON WHY THIS AMOUNT OF DAMAGE RESULTED FROM A ONE VEHICLE ACCIDENT. FROM WHAT I KNOW SO FAR, ROAD CONDITIONS NOR EXCESSIVE SPEED WERE AN ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS PARTICULAR VAN DID IN FRONT IMPACT COLLISION TESTING. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT TYPE OF CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO INSURE THAT YOUR NEWER VANS DO NOT "CRUMBLE" IN THIS MANNER? I'M MORE THAN SURE AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE HELPED TREMENDOUSLY! BUT, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE VAN SHOULD HAVE, OR COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT MORE STURDIER BUILT???? I NEED ANSWERS AS TO WHY MY FIRST BORN SON WAS KILLED IN SUCH A HORRIFIC ONE VAN CRASH. THEY DIDN'T RUN INTO AN 18 WHEELER OR A TRAIN...IT WAS THE GUARDRAIL!!! PLEASE HELP ME AND HIS YOUNGER BROTHER TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HAPPENED. UPDATED IVOQ 11/02/10 *TR
1995 FORD E150 STEERING GEARBOX BOLTS SHEARED OFF FROM FRAME CAUSING TOTAL STEERING FAILURE, VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED, COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, WOULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE WRECK IF FAILURE HAPPENED MOMENTS EARLIER. *TR

ALSO FOUND RIGHT INNER DUEL TIRE WITH LOW TIRE PRESSURE, AFTER REMOVING TIRE, FOUND AIR HAD LEAKED INTO INNER SIDEWALL WHICH CAUSED A BUBBLE WHICH RUBBED AGAINST CHASSIS CAUSING IT TO BLOW OUT. RECALL HEARING LOUD NOISE AT RIGHT REAR OF VEHICLE ON LAST TRIP IN NOVEMBER 2009 BUT COULD NOT LOCATE SOURCE OF NOISE UNTIL INSPECTION OF TIRE. TIRE LABELED AS RIDGE RUNNER RADIAL APR DATE CODE 3402.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 FORD ECONOLINE VAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE WHEEL WELL IN THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC SHOP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE CALIPERS, ROTORS , AND BRAKES PADS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE CAN STILL SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.
1995 FORD E150 BASED CONVERSION VAN HAS HAD THE BRAKING SYSTEMS/ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT REPLACED TWICE IN LESS THAN 83000 MILES. BOTH REPLACEMENTS WERE DONE AT FORD DEALERS AND COPIES OF BOTH INVOICES CAN BE PROVIDED. SINCE THIS FAILURE DISABLES THE ABS SYSTEM AND PRODUCES A HOPPING IN THE REAR WHEELS I THINK THIS IS A HAZARD THAT NEED TO BE LOOKED INTO. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 FORD 250 ECONOLINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, IT WOULD MOVE IN REVERSE INSTEAD OF STOPPING. THE VEHICLE IS BEING DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.
