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 2007 Ford E-450 problems

The Ford E-450, built in 2007, has been reported to have several common problems based on complaints from owners of this vehicle. The most frequently reported problem is related to the tires, with 206 problems reported. This issue can manifest in various ways, including uneven tire wear, poor traction, and reduced fuel efficiency. Regular tire inspections and maintenance, such as tire rotations and alignments, can help mitigate these problems.

The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's service brakes, hydraulic system, with 79 problems reported. This issue can lead to reduced braking performance, increased stopping distances, and potential safety hazards. Regular brake inspections and maintenance, including brake fluid checks and brake pad replacements, are essential to ensure the proper functioning of the braking system.

Ford E-450 diesel engine problems have also been reported, particularly for engines manufactured between 2003 and 2007 or later. These engines were used in Ford trucks and E-450 cutaway chassis during this time period. Problems include, but are not limited to, the fuel system, fuel injectors, oil leaks, EGR’s, broken turbochargers, wiring harness troubles, faulty sensors, defective exhaust gas recirculation valves, and faulty computers. Several class action lawsuits have been filed against Ford Motor Company, claiming that the engines have a manufacturer's defect.

A specific issue reported by owners of the 2007 Ford E-450 is related to the engine's V10 cylinder. Several mechanics, including the owner's son, have stated that V10 engines spit out spark plugs, usually #10, leading to costly repairs. The root cause of this problem remains unclear, with some attributing it to insufficient threads in the head or improper torqueing by backyard mechanics. However, it is important to note that many V10 engines do not experience this issue.

In summary, the Ford E-450, built in 2007, has been reported to have several common problems, including tire-related issues, brake system problems, and diesel engine problems. Regular inspections and maintenance can help mitigate these problems and ensure the vehicle's safe and reliable operation.

Manufacturer: ELKHART COACH
Components: EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
Summary: ELKHART COACH HAS NOTIFIED NHTSA OF A DEFECT IN CERTAIN TRANSIT BUSES FITTED WITH RICON PUBLIC USE LIFTS. THE RESTRAINT BELT ON THESE LIFTS WAS DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE LIFT FROM MOVING, UNLESS THE TONGUE OF THE BELT IS FULLY ENGAGED AND LATCHED IN THE BUCKLE. RICON HAS DISCOVERED, HOWEVER, THAT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE OPERATOR TO INSERT THE BELT TONGUE INTO THE BUCKLE WITHOUT FULLY ENGAGING THE LATCHING MECHANISM. IN THIS CASE, THE RESTRAINT BELT WOULD APPEAR TO BE LATCHED, AND THE OPERATOR COULD RUN THE LIFT. IF THE RESTRAINT BELT TONGUE IS NOT FULLY ENGAGED INTO THE RESTRAINT BELT BUCKLE, AND LATCHED, THE LIFT MAY OPERATE WITH AN OCCUPANT ON THE PLATFORM.
Consequence: THE USER OF THE LIFT COULD BE INJURED SHOULD THE LIFT MOVE WITHOUT THE RESTRAINT BELT PROPERLY BUCKLED.
Remedy: ELKHART COACH IS WORKING WITH RICON AND RICON WILL BE HANDLING THE REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. PLEASE SEE RICON'S DEFECT REPORT 09E-060.

Consequence: WHEN THE PLATFORM OVERRUNS THE VEHICLE FLOOR LEVEL AND STOPS AT AN ANGLE FROM 15-20 DEGREES, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR A PERSON IN A WHEELCHAIR TO TIP OVER AND FOR SOMEONE STANDING ON THE PLATFORM TO FALL, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN INJURIES.
Remedy: ELKHART COACH WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND THE REPAIRS WILL BE PERFORMED BY AUTHORIZED RICON DEALERS FREE OF CHARGE. CURRENTLY RICON IS DEVELOPING A SOFTWARE SOLUTION AND IS NOT AVAILABLE. UNTIL THE SOFTWARE SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE, RICON WILL PROVIDE OWNERS WITH A BULLETIN OUTLINING PROPER WHEELCHAIR LIFT OPERATION AND WILL SHIP OWNERS A DVD-BASED TRAINING AID TO PROMOTE PROPER LIFT OPERATION AT NO COST.
