Consumer Description

2005 FORD E-350 AMBULANCE HAD A TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING TO A 911 CALL. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER DIAGNOSED AN OIL PUMP FAILURE AS THE CAUSE AND REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS COMPLIANT #2 OF 6. ALL OF THE 2005 FORD AMBULANCES WE PURCHASED HAVE SUFFERED TOTAL ENGINE FAILURES FROM EITHER THE OIL PUMPS OR THE WIRING HARNESS SYSTEMS. FORD IS UNWILLING TO REPLACE THESE PARTS ON THE OTHER UNITS UNTIL THEY FAIL. THEY ARE PLACING NUMEROUS LIVES IN EXTREME JEOPARDY AND REFUSE TO ADMIT THERE ARE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE 6.0 L DIESEL ENGINE IN THE 2005 SERIES AMBULANCE CHASSIS. *NM
