2006 FORD F-450 SD Engine And Engine Coolingenginediesel Problems

THIS 2006 FORD E450 SUPER DUTY WITH A 6.0L ENGINE HAS BEEN TROUBLE RIGHT FROM THE START. THE FIRST THING TO GO WRONG WAS THE TURBO THAT WENT OUT ON 09/18/2007 WITH ONLY 12,000 MILES. NEXT AT 15,000 MILES THE VEHICLE HAD STARTING AND RUNNING PROBLEMS AND THE DEALER REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS ON TOP OF MOTOR. FROM THIS TIME FORWARD UP TO 29000 MILES THE SQUAD WAS TOWED SEVERAL TIMES FOR MORE ENGINE REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT PARTS. FROM 29,000 TO 53,000 THINGS GOT WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED IN AGAIN FOR EGR COOLER PROBLEMS, INJECTOR PROBLEM AND RADIATOR FAILED. TWO OF THESE TIMES WAS WHEN WE HAD A PATIENT AND HAD TO CALL FOR A BACK UP UNIT TO RESPOND.

I CALLED FORD'S HOTLINE TO ASK WHAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE GIVEN THE LOW MILEAGE. I WAS TOLD BY FORD THEY WOULD NOT HELP IN THE REPAIRS BECAUSE OF THE TIME FRAME ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTY.

WON'T START THIS IS AN AMBULANCE AND ON REPEATED OCCASIONS IT HAS FAILED TO START. THE FAILURE TO START PUTS THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND WELFARE AT RISK. FAILURE TO RESPOND WITH AN AMBULANCE WHEN CALLED CAN LEAD TO THE DEATH OF CITIZENS. *JB

WON'T START THIS IS AN AMBULANCE. WE ARE UNABLE TO RESPOND TO EMERGENCY CALLS WHEN THE AMBULANCE DOESN'T START. THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF LIFE, IF WE DO NOT REACH THE DISTRESSED CITIZEN IN A TIMELY MANNER TO PERFORM ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT. *JB

WON'T START THIS IS AN AMBULANCE. WHEN IT DOESN'T START WE CAN NOT RESPOND TO CALLS TO TRANSPORT AND PERFORM ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT EFFORTS. THIS LEAVES THE PUBLIC AT RISK. *JB
