1999 Ford E-450 problems
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.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2008-04-24
- VIN: 1FDXE40S1XH
- Components: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
- Summary: I FOUND OUT THAT BECAUSE OF A DESIGN FLAW IN THE FORD TRITON ENGINE CYLINDER HEADS THEY ARE PRONE TO "SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT". IN CERTAIN INSTANCES THIS CAN RESULT IN FIRE AS THE SPARK PLUG BECOMES A MISSILE AND CAN BREAK FUEL LINES ETC. AFTER SUCH AN EVENT THE REPAIR FOR OUT OF WARRANTY VEHICLES CAN EASILY BE WELL INTO THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND FORD WILL ACCEPT NO RESPONSIVELY. I OWN SUCH AN ENGINE AND IN THE INTEREST OF POSSIBLY PREVENTING THIS, I HAVE LOOKED INTO REPLACING THE SPARK PLUGS FAR EARLIER THAN FORD MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDS AND INSTALL THE NEW ONES PER THE LATEST INFORMATION REGARDING THE USE OF ANTI-SEIZE PRODUCTS ON THE THREADS. BECAUSE OF THIS DESIGN, IT SEEMS THAT TO REPLACE 10 SPARK PLUGS IN MY RV EXCEEDS $1000. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ACCEPT LIABILITY FOR THEIR ERROR. *TR
