What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
I was stopped at a stop sign, with my foot on the brake pedal, the engine began to roar. The vehicle acclerated foward. I attemped to stop the vehicle by pressing the brake as hard as I could. The van would not stop. Approximately 250 feet from stop sign, I hit a tree head on to insure I didn't injure anybody.
I recently purchased this brand new ford e350 van. If you take your hands off the wheel for a second the vehicle drifts into the right lane. Also while braking you if you do not hold the wheel in the straight position the vehicle veers and drifts to the right. In a panic stop it is very dangerous and is a safety hazard. Also when you are braking you actually can feel the vehicle drifting, veering and pulling to the right when you are holding the steering wheel.
I am owner of jwd delivery, a fedex home delivery contractor, I have 4 of the same trucks 2012/2013 and there are many others in our terminal. They all have the same issue, excessive tire wear of front tires. The tires fail inspection after 5-7k miles. Over $8k in tires on four trucks in less than a year and a half. Trucks have between 25k and 50k miles on them.had a ford engineer look at them and the body company did not factor in the weight and distribution when they but this body on this chasis.
