This vehicle is a motorhome, build on the 2005 e450 cab/chassis with a gas v10 engine. While driving in a single lane construction zone on the interstate the electronic throttle body system failed, and the engine suddenly stopped responding to the accelerator pedal. As a result the vehicle suddenly lost power and slowed to a very very low speed (a few inches per second). As traffic approached and built up behind i inched the vehicle onto the shoulder. The vehicle was unable to move under it's own power any further and required a tow. It was an extremely dangerous situation on a crowded highway, in a construction zone, with my family.

2013 during highway driving the brake caliper on the left rear stuck holding the brake pads against the disk. I noticed it when stopping for gas. As i removed the gas cap i saw considerable smoke rising around that left dual wheel. The wheel and tire was too hot to touch. Smoke got worse and afraid of the heat and proximity of the gas pump i moved the rv a safe distance away. I had the caliper, pads, and disc replaced. Later on a trip after repairs were made i had a tire blow out on left inside wheel. When the tire was removed i saw that it had been damaged from the extreme heat. On the way home from our 2015 christmas trip i felt as though the rv was not accelerating as it should but thought it was the up hill climb of the roadway. Again when i stopped for fuel i saw a wisp of smoke coming from the left rear wheel and the wheel was hot. I have not had the brake system checked out yet. I have a friend with a 2005 rv on a chevy chassis and had the same problem. In that case there had been a recall of the brake system. May not be related but sounds as if it could be the same problem.

I have a 2005 jayco 30ft. Motorhome with a 2005 ford e-450 chassis and the 6.8l v-10 engine. I am on a trip from georgia to vermont with this unit and am towing a 2008 saturn vue. On tuesday june 21, while traveling at aprox. 60mph on i-85n in s. Carolina, i had a complete and unexpected engine shut down while in a heavy traffic condition. I was able to pull over against the guard rail in an unsafe condition, and shut the ignition off and tried to restart the engine. It started up immediately and i continued driving for another 5 hours. On wednesday june 22 while driving on i-81n in virginia the same situation occurred, and once again i was able to get onto the shoulder and shut down the engine and restart. As before, i was able to drive for another 5-6 hours without any problem. Upon arrival at my scheduled stopover campground, and fully aware as to how potentially dangerous this condition could be, i stopped my trip and contacted 'ford motorhome customer assistance center' on their toll free line and discussed the problem with one of their service personnel. They referred me to a dealership which is about 50 miles from here, but they are not able to look at the unit until possibly next monday, june 27. I contacted the dealer and will bring the unit to them on monday. Of course the major problems with this situation is trying to stop a heavy vehicle with the added push of the towed vehicle, the difficulty in trying to steer into a safe area, and the fear of the traffic behind me not stopping in time in order to prevent a rear end collision. *tr

The vehicle does not always go into the correct gear, as indicated on the steering column. When using the automatic gear shift on the column, and placing the vehicle into "drive", the vehicle goes into reverse. When the gear shift is moved to "reverse", it does not engage and stays in neutral. Sometimes, the vehicle will hover in neutral then suddenly engage into 1st gear without moving the gear shift. This issue was brought to ford's attention by us in 2007 (11000 miles) and 2009 (23000 miles), and the ford dealers could not find anything wrong with the linkages. They stated that they adjusted the indicator switch, but this intermittent problem has now returned. This is a safety hazard when maneuvering in parking lots or other areas that require a change of direction. Our ford engine is inside a class c motorhome, so we don't have many alternative options for moving the vehicle when it does not go into the correct gear. We are concerned that the car will switch gears while in motion, causing us to lose control. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 ford e-450. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle began to sway from side to side and the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The mechanic referred the contact to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and suggested a sway bar be installed. The manufacturer was not willing to cover the cost of the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 14,000.
