| The inner workings of the keyhole within ignition is misaligned. the key cannot start the vehicle. have been stranded till after countless tries, all of a sudden it will move and the ignition finally unlock. i always have the beeping going on if the door is open, even with no key in ignition. this can only be silenced by wiggling the ignition (without a key in it) i am very much afraid the ignition is going to separate from steering column and just fall out! that would leave me no way to start the vehicle and get home! nlm | |||

| 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 so and 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 advance miles | |||

| 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. *tr | |||
