Read complaints for FORD E-450 (2011)
This vehicle was converted to an ambulance by wheeld coach. The ambulance caught fire and spread to the building in which it was parked and unoccupied. A paramedic smelled something coming from the bay, and, when he went to investigate, he saw smoke and fire dripping from underneath the ambulance. An investigator determined that the lug connection at the alternator was improperly installed by wheeled coach. The connection produced a high resistance connection, producing temperatures sufficient to ignite a competent fuel source and/or caused the battery cable insulation to fail, producing electrical arcing that provided a competent ignition source to cause the fire.
While driving straight on a city street and again on an interstate, the vehicle shut off. A diagnostic report determined that the fuel pump circuit wiring harness was bad. The vehicle has 23,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford e-450. The contact stated that the air filter failed to function properly. The plastic cap became unglued and was sucked into the intake, preventing air from entering the engine. The vehicle was unable to be driven. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. The contact, an independent mechanic, removed the fram air filter to diagnose and repair the vehicle. The air filter manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
My 2011 f450 with 60,000 miles on it, would not start after just running.it had never given any indications of any problems prior to not starting.the dealership where it was taken worked on it for 9 days hand in hand with ford warranty dept and came up with failure of the fuel system.according to ford inspectors, fuel was contaminated.fuel pump had metal shavings in filter system.fuel pump was rusted and had no lubricant.bumper to bumper warranty did not cover this.we are out over $5,000 (don't have the final $$$$$ amount at this time).system failure warning lights did not indicate a problem with water or other contaminates in fuel lines.fuel system has to be flushed to eliminate metal shavings throughout fuel lines and injectors.according to the mechanic, any diesel used in ford diesel trucks should have a rating of 20...and not above (like 25).the bigger the number, the more trash in the diesel.also, biodiesel is not recommended and can be used to void the warranty.lots of luck with this!!!

On two occasions, over the past 2 years, while driving on an interstate, i have had the "wrench" light come on, on the dash display. This is caused by me using the cruise control, but when i hit the brake to release the cruise control, then step on the gas pedal to bring it back up to speed, the light appears and i go into "limp mode". Once i pull over and stop the engine, apparently this re-sets the system, and the vehicle drives okay. I have been told by a ford tech that this is the electronic throttle control and that it may be normal, but i feel it is too sensitive. I am wondering if it should have a recall on it.
As instructed by nhtsa 13t-012 tire re call michelin has failed to provided replacement tires thru its ford and dealer network to me.
