I just want to know if these vans are having trouble. The ignition switch sometime would not turn off and i would have to work the key and also turn the steeing wheel back and for to get the key out.i took it to a authorized ford dealer to have repaired.they replaced the switch cylinder they said.one week later i was driving the van and when i turned the wheels to the left some time i would have to use force to get the wheels back to the right.the wheels locked up and i could not turn them while going to back up and also i could not get the transmission out of drive.again they said the cable to the transmision had broken and was replaced.my question what has to be disassembled to replace the switch cylinder and if the steering wheel has to be pulled to do soand if during reassembling that the rod that lock the steering wheel when the ignition is in place was disturbed and has to be lined up.and if not properly alined would this effect the steering of the vehicle when the key is in the on position.i am very curious do know.if you could would you please e-mail me with a answer.thank you in advancemiles
Ford recall 05s28 of the speed control deactivation switch. I was contacted by ford to bring my e-150 van in for a recall on my scds. I took the vehicle in question to wade ford in smyrna, ga. 30080. They disconnected the scds and said that they didn't have the parts to fix the problem and it would be oct. Before they were available. I have waited patiently while ford took their time to correct the problem. I have called every month to get my vehicle repaired and finally on feb. 29, 2008 i was told by dave chance a service advisor that they finally had the parts to make the necessary repairs. They assured me that they had the parts to make the repair and i set up an appointment to have the repair done and they told me that it would take 1 to 2 hours to do. My appointment was for march 4, 2008 at 8:00 am. I arrived at the service department at 7:45 am and was checked in and told that i could wait in their waiting room till they were done. At 8:55 am the service advisor dave chance came in to tell me that he was sorry that they didn't have the parts in to fix the scds and there was nothing that they could do.i was very upset with these people as i was given the impression and the notice that they could repair my scds at this time. I told them that my time was as important to me as their time was to them. They said that they were sorry for the inconvenience that it caused me, and when i told them that they should pay me the same hourly rate that they charge to work an my vehicle they said that they would change my oil for me free of charge. I felt that this was a slap in the face and that they could care less about my time.

I was driving east, just past monroe, la, on i-20 just prior to mile marker 126 when the right passenger tire came off my e150 1993 ford van. I was able to maintain control of the van to get it off the road.thankfully, the rim/tire, and brake caliper did not hit a vehicle; i found it about a half mile prior to where i was able to get the van stopped.i thought i a blowout had occurred but when i looked, there was no rim or tire on the van.i bought the van new in late 1992 and have maintained it well throughout its lifetime.how can this happen?just prior to getting to monroe, there was a wobble in the steering like a big gust of wind had hit it or i had struck a recap.i got out and checked but found nothing unusual.i drove on to monroe and ate lunch at chili's.shortly after getting back on i-20 is when this episode happened.a lot of people could have been injured or killed.weather was clear with light breeze and no rain.this is the first time this has happened to me.the van was towed by aaa by bears to hixson ford in monroe, la for repair where it is now waiting.the wheel well, passenger door and various trim items were also damage due to the wheel coming off and having it towed.
From the date the conversion van was purchase, the consumer was having an on going problem withthe steering.the van would not drive straight, it wandered all over the road.over the years in an attempt to correct this problem the ball joints and steering gear has been replaced.

1993 ford e150van frame cracked around bolt heads that hold steering box on, causing erratic steering
Hello,my name is ted and i currently own 1993 ford clubwagon, and i've had it for nearly 5 years.(please excuse my lack of knowledge about the car.i don't really know about parts of vehicle.... )anyway, i've never found any particular problem with my car, except for the fact it tends to lose the wheel alignment quite often, and heard really loud, dull "thumb" sound every time i turn the steering wheel all the way to counterclockwise.i've taken my vehicle to ford dealership for that specific problem but they couldn't resolve the problem.rather, they have suggested as if it was to be disregard. Few days ago, i pulled my car from the parking lot and again, as usual, i heard that "thump".but this time, there was a small metallic part flew out of the car.so i brought the car to the dealer service center and found out driver side front frame was cracked !!!!the crack ran all the way to gearbox.and of course, in order to replace the frame costs fortune, for it will be structural rebuild.(the estimate, sum of $6,000 or up,was made by ford dealership).so i called the manufacturer's customer relations department but unfortunately they weren't willing to do anything about it. I'm so perplexed about the fact that despite i have maintained the vehicle well over the years, the vehicle is practically a junk. To me, it's caused by manufacturer's defective part, for the vehicle was never involved in collision. Never. And as you well know, clubwagon isn't a cargo van, it's rather luxurious passenger van.i've never overloaded the vehicle with stuff nor put 20 people in it.therefore frame wasn't damaged due to misuse nor exceeding its capable limit, i believe.i've only seen or heard of incidents of broken frame or structural damage caused major accident, not just pulling out of parking lot. I'm positively convinced that the manufacturer is to blame, and as i submit the complaint, i would like to take an opportunity to thank you for your ti.

Tire tread came completely off tire.i was able to safely stop vehicle.firestone dealer in aurora colorado, store # 028924 told me that all four tires were manufactured at the decator plant.they treated this like a recall and replaced all four tires at no cost with general tires.the first tire to do exactly the same thing under identical circumstances lost its tread about 6 months ago, prior to problem identification at decator plant.second tire came apart in wyoming.i made this report thinking that the problems at decator might extend beyond the tires currently identified, as the affinity tires are not on the recall list.thanks.dave ashton( dot number: tire size: 235/75r15 )

Ford recall #05s28 indicates a potential fire hazard in my "speed control deactivation switch" which may leak causing a underhood fire. Ford wants to put a fuse in the wiring harness to prevent this from happening. Why would ford not want to change the scds switch that might be leaking instead?
