The Ford E-Series (also known as the Ford Econoline, Ford Econovan or Ford Club Wagon) is a range of full-size vans manufactured and marketed by the Ford Motor Company. Introduced for 1961 as the replacement of the Ford F-Series panel van, four generations of the model line have been produced. Marketed for both cargo and passenger transport configurations, the E-Series has been designed with multiple design variations for both retail and commercial sale, including vans, and commercial-grade cutaway van chassis and stripped chassis (a chassis without bodywork).

With over 8.2 million units sold since 1961, the Ford E-Series is the third-best selling van line in history (outranked only by the Ford Transit and Volkswagen Transporter). Ford retired the E-Series passenger and cargo vans after 2014, replacing them with the Ford Transit. As of current production, the E-Series remains offered exclusively in cutaway and stripped-chassis configurations. In 2021, the model line entered its 60th year of production (becoming the second current Ford line to do so).

The E-Series (cutaway/stripped chassis) is assembled by Ford at its Ohio Assembly facility (Avon Lake, Ohio), which has produced the model line since 1975. Prior to its closure, Lorain Assembly (Lorain, Ohio) assembled the model line from 1961 to 2005.

Common 2012 Ford E-250 problems

The Ford E-250 2012 is a popular choice for those needing a reliable and robust vehicle for various tasks, from hauling furniture and appliances to towing trailers and transporting people. However, like any vehicle, the E-250 2012 is not immune to issues and problems. Here are some of the most common problems reported by E-250 2012 owners, along with their causes and solutions.

Exhaust Leak: Exhaust leaks are a common problem in the E-250 2012, caused by broken or rotted studs that hold the manifold in place or a cracked manifold. The symptoms of an exhaust leak include smelling exhaust fumes in the engine compartment, hearing a ticking noise when the engine is cold, and experiencing vibrations or a ticking noise when driving. To fix the problem, inspect the studs and replace them if broken, and check the manifold for cracks or damage.
Transmission Leaks: Transmission leaks are another common issue in the E-250 2012, caused by worn or damaged seals, gaskets, or lines. The symptoms of a transmission leak include fluid leaking to the ground, a slipping or hesitant transmission, and a whining or grinding noise. To find the source of the leak, clean the area around the transmission, top off the fluid, and drive the vehicle for a few hundred miles. Then, inspect the transmission and its components for signs of leaks, and replace any damaged or worn parts.
Rough Running Engine: A rough running engine can be caused by faulty ignition coils or ignition coil boots, which can crack and allow arcing. The symptoms of a rough running engine include misfires, shaking, and a loss of power. To fix the problem, replace the ignition coil mechanism, which can cost between $140-$200 depending on the model and year.
Engine Oil Leaks: Engine oil leaks can be caused by worn or damaged cylinder head gaskets, which can allow oil to leak from the engine. The symptoms of an engine oil leak include a burning oil smell, smoke from the engine compartment, and a low oil level. To fix the problem, replace the head gasket and mating surfaces on the cylinder head and block, which can cost between $1100-$1400.
Front End Rattles: Front end rattles can be caused by worn or damaged ball joints, which can allow excessive play and noise. The symptoms of a front end rattle include a knocking or clunking noise from the front of the vehicle, especially over bumps or turns. To fix the problem, replace the ball joints, which can cost around $250 for one or $550 for both.
Spark Plug Misfires: Spark plug misfires can be caused by stripped or damaged threads on the spark plugs, which can allow the plugs to become loose or dislodged. The symptoms of a spark plug misfire include a loud popping noise, a loss of power, and a check engine light. To fix the problem, replace the spark plugs and use aluminum inserts to repair the threads, which can cost around $500 just to rent the tool kit.
Coolant Leakage: Coolant leakage can be caused by corrosion or deterioration of the heater core or radiator parts, which can allow coolant to leak from the engine. The symptoms of coolant leakage include a sweet smell, a low coolant level, and a coolant puddle under the vehicle. To fix the problem, replace the heater core, which can cost between $200-$300.

In conclusion, the Ford E-250 2012 is a reliable and capable vehicle, but like any vehicle, it can experience issues and problems. By being aware of the most common problems and their causes and solutions, E-250 2012 owners can maintain their vehicles and ensure their safety and longevity.

2016-05-24

Manufacturer: New England Wheels
Components: EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
Summary: New England Wheels (New England) is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 Ford E-250, E-350, and 2015 Ford Transit vans equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts by Ricon. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack. Additionally, the lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.
Consequence: If the platform side plates crack or the platform mounting fails from out-of-position bearings, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the vehicle's doors are opened, the platform may fall onto the lift operator, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy: New England will notify owners, and Ricon dealers will inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2016. Owners may contact New England customer service at 1-800-886-9247.
