Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We ordered a new 2008 econoline e-350 xlt and after driving we discerned the steering was very loose; it had an unusual amount of play ; it floated around the road. It was extremely difficult to control on the highways especially at higher speeds. We brought it back to the dealer and both service manager and general manager took it for a test drive and confirmed there was a serious problem. Van was brought in for another appointment to investigate the issue. They tightened some parts (?) and asked for me to drive it home and report back if it were any better. …”
