| The van would start losing power on the highway, where even if the accelerator is pushed down, the van continues to lose speed. the van eventually reaches a speed of 0 mph and at which point the engine stalls. after waiting 20 minutes on the side of the highway, turning the engine off for 20 minutes then starting it seems to temporarily get it going, but only for another 30 minutes. since the first time it happened, it would reoccur almost every other day. this is very dangerous during the morning rush hour when driving on the number 2 lane because the speed decreases as if the accelerator is not pushed. because of this dramatic loss of speed, vehicles behind my van either brake or change lanes fast. it is very difficult to go from the number 2 lane to the number 4 lane while losing speed. the van was brought to the original dealership because it was still under the 5 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty. they said they replaced the fuel pump and charged my for it. the next week, it failed again. the dealership took a week to figure out what was wrong and said now that its the egr valve and that an engine flush is needed but the warranty does not cover it and it is an extra 900 dollars to fix, totaling 1,000 dollars for that one time. a week after that, the same thing happened but the engine would not start up again even after giving it some time. after ten days in the shop, the dealership said they need to replace the fuel injector. *tr | |||

| The vehicle, a ford e350 6.0l diesel would lose power while on the highway and come to a complete stop in the middle of the road. after waiting about 20 minutes, sometimes would start up but most of the time would have to be towed. this would occur whenever the vehicle is driven for more than 20-40 miles when the engine is warmed. this has occurred a total of over 15 times, each failure having a smaller time in between than the one previous. very dangerous. almost hit a car trying to get on the shoulder before a complete failure. whenever the engine shuts off, i would have to try to get on the shoulder during rush hour while on the #1 lane. the speed would steadily slow down until it comes to a complete stop where it would then shut off. the steering wheel would lock when the engine shuts off. as i was trying to turn into a street to get off highway 29 southbound, i made it to the shoulder and turned. as i was turning, the engine cut off, the steering wheel locked, and the front half of the vehicle was facing oncoming traffic. the van would not start for five minutes, which caused severe traffic. almost got hit on the side of the road. the dealership horribly attempted to fix the problem. after five attempts and over 25 days in the shop, the finally decided to get a ford technician to figure out what was wrong with it. after replacing the fuel injectors and fuel pump three times, the figured out that the coating for the fuel tank for the diesel created particulates which devastated the fuel system. they want $2,000 to replace the defective gas tank, another (third) fuel pump, and new injectors. *tr | |||
