| 2005 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | THE FUEL TANK STRAPS FAILED DUE TO RUST IN FEB OF 2013, THE FUEL TANK WILL RUST THROUGH SOON. THIS IS NOT AN OEM FUEL TANK IN THIS VEHICLE IT HAS A DOT APPROVED FUEL TANK FROM A MFG CALLED TRANSFER FLOW, INC.OUT OF CHINO, CA. I AM DISABLED, THE VAN WAS BOUGHT NEW AS A MODIFIED WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE CONVERSION VAN. IT IS A 2005 FORD E-250 THAT HAS BEEN MODIFIED BY A COMPANY CALLED NORCALVANS IN CALIFORNIA. WHEN I CONTACTED NORCALVANS THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE VAN IS OUTSIDE OF THE 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE PERIOD. WHEN I CONTACTED TRANSFER FLOW,INC. THE MFG. OF THE TANK I WAS TOLD THE SAME AND OFFERED A PRICE OF AROUND $850.00 FOR THE TANK, SHIPPING AND INSTALL ON ME. IN MY OPINION THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE FUEL TANK SHOULD NOT RUST OUT AFTER ONLY 7-8 YEARS. THIS VAN WILL BECOME UNSAFE WHEN THIS RUSTY FUEL TANK STARTS LEAKING. I CAN SEND PICTURES IF YOU LIKE. *TR |
| 1994 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES | OUR 1994 15 PASSENGER FORD VAN RIGHT SIDE VAN DOOR HAS THE STANDARD LOCK KNOB WHICH CAN BE PLAYED WITH BY OCCUPANT. IF THE KNOB IS SCREWED OFF , THE CONNECTING LOCKING MECHANISM WILL DROP INTO THE DOOR BEHIND THE INTERIOR PANEL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE DOOR IS LOCKED AND CAN NOT BE UNLOCK WITH KEY, KNOB OR ELECTRIC OPENER. THE OCCUPANTS ONLY WAY OUT IS OVER THE FRONT SEAT OR OVER THE REAR SEATS AND OUT THE TAIL GATE DOOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND THE DOOR PANEL HAS TO BE REMOVED TO UNLOCK. VERY DANGEROUS AND IS NOT CHILD PROOF. *NLM |
