What 2014 Ford E-350 owners say
Wheels & tires
I work for the university of california san diego fleet services. We have several 2014 Ford e-350's in our rental fleet. Some time a few years back Michelin recalled many of the ltx tires on many of our vans. The dot code on the tires on this van did not fall under the Michelin recall. As you can see in the photo this tire had a tread separation on a rear tire, van full of passengers. We are really lucky this van did not roll over. This happened traveling on the highway at speeds within the posted limit. The tread as it came separated from the tire damaged the undercarriage of the van & pulled a loose heater hose which caused coolant to leak and the van over heated & left a group stranded in the desert. We believe Michelin May want to take another look at the date codes that should be covered under this recall. …
Steel rim failure. Purchased vehicle with 8000 miles on odometer October 2014. As of today December 2017 the odometer reads 141,000 miles . I have replace all four rims on this vehicle one by one. First issue I was loosing hub caps while driving continuously,I finally gave up and took all off,left bare rims. Then the second issue was rims cracking and failing at the welded point where the spokes/struts are attached. The same failure is the same place over and over. Noticed this issue while driving and TPMS light would come on,I would pull over and by the time I got stopped the tire was completely flat. Very dangerous issues for other drivers on the road as well as myself and family .
Steering
I recently rented an rv from cruise America. I do not have the VIN but for id it was their unit 254869. It was built for cruise America by four winds on a Ford e350 chassis. Almost immediately I found I could not drive it at posted speed limits. I felt unsafe at any speed over 60 MPH and less depending on weather and pavement conditions. The posted limits were 65-80 in co, wy, mt, and sd. The vehicle was light in the front end and nothing we loaded caused that. Every gust of wind, every bump in the pavement, and every truck blast pushed it off line. On one occasion, a truck blast pushed me onto the shoulder and before I could correct it, a snow pole broke the passenger side mirror. I reported this to cruise America when we returned the vehicle, and again by email. …
I am a representative from an auto repair facility in charge of the repairs and maintenance of a fleet of emergency vehicles. This is an ambulance conversion and at 38,323 miles, it was found to have excessive vertical play in all four tie rod ends up to 1/4" and in the steering gear output shaft. There is no lateral play as in normal wear over a longer period of time. It is believed this is a defect in manufacturing and is a safety hazard.
