As I was driving my 2012 ford f250 diesel a light came on indicating a problem with the electronic locking rear differential. Seconds later the computer screen stated flashing different warnings- the computer chimed non-stop with the alarms until, within 10 seconds from this starting, the engine was shut down by the computer and I was left to coast to a stop. It was not an easy stop- this truck weighs 8,500 pounds and with no power it is extremely difficult to navigate over to the side of the road. Two cars...

appeared to collided when the engine cut out and I could not keep in the lane on the curve. I would surely be seriously injured or dead or injured/killed others if I was towing a load on one of the mountain passes when this shut down occured- this truck has a diesel and purposely designed for heavy towing- 16,000 miles on it and ford's new diesel is a potential killer. *Tr

Thru testing by a industrial hygentist we have proof that our handicapped van customed in miss in 2005 and sold as a brand new vehicle in 2006 was in fact defective and contains more formaldehyde above human consumption. This vehicle was returned the dealership in plant city, fl by flatbed so that no one would ever enter it again. The dealership kept it for a couple of hrs and flat bedded it back to my property because it is highly combustible and they did not want their dealership to explode but it is ok that my...

house and neighborhood has the explosion instead. They are aware of the problem and refusing to settle thru the lemon law therefore we are going to court. This vehicle and all other vehicles should be researched and find them all and destroyed. Why is the ntsha and osha allowing this product to be used in handicapped or any vehicle. The formaldehyde at high temp is a carrier of cancer. My family has severe reactions to this vehicle. I can not even go out of my house without a reaction to the air in the front yard. The temp is the vehicle is over 125 at times. This dept should have on the first complaint come out and checked this vehicle out and it should not be in a residential area but in fact in the lot of the dealership in a corner where if it did explode there would not be a large amount of damage. The dealership also had two employees that were extremely exposed like we were and still ignore the situation. My next step is the new media and tv stations to bring this out in the open. I file a report and because no one else has filed this complaint and maybe not aware of it yet you have done nothing to help. If you check carfax it is awfully strange why e250 fords are being sold with less than 20,000 on them and are 2006 because people are getting sick from them and do not know why. This is a custom van which is completely rusted on bottom and water marks everywhere and built in mississippi and not a coincident. *Jb
