Pulled up to stop sign. When making right turn, onto interstate frontage road, throttle quit working, wrench ligh and check engine light came on. Coasted to side of road. Vehicle had to be towed in to ford dealer. Was told electronic throttle control shut down vehicle, and throttle body would have to be replaced. Had it happened another minute latter it would have failed in the middle of an interstate highway.

The preliminary report regarding the fire onboard a commonwealth of massachusetts soldiers home owned handicapped transportation bus indicates the fire cause may have been electrical in nature. The vehicle in question is a 2006 ford e- 450. An odor of smoke was reported by the driver, enio lopez, just after assisting a veteran onto the bus at the chelsea soldiers home. Upon reporting the odor of smoke, the driver was instructed to remove the veteran from the vehicle and shut the vehicle down. The fleet service administrator for the chelsea soldiers home, upon investigating the odor of smoke located a fire in the right front of the bus in the electrical panel. They contacted the chelsea fire department and grabbed the extinguisher onboard to attempt to extinguish the fire and prevent further damage. Upon discharging the extinguisher, the fire did not go out and seemed to be intensifying also smoke and flames were visible from the engine compartment. A campus security officer responding to calls for more extinguishers assisted themin fighting the fire. Two more extinguishers were provided to them and by an environmental services supervisor and employee. Chelsea fire department arrived on seen and finished extinguishing the fire, disconnecting the battery and overhauling the interior of the bus to extinguish the remaining pockets of fire. Once the fire was completely extinguished the bus was turned back over to the commonwealth of massachusetts soldiers home and was towed to its current location behind vinnie's place. *tr

Vehicle was started in garage, backed vehicle up and there was a loud explosion type noise. Mechanic said # 8 plug blew out causing major motor damage. *tr

This same problem has been reported by people complaining on blogs. While in motion the vehicle will cut out. All power just stops and the vehicle rolls to a stop. It can be restarted. There is no indication when this will happen. It has happened on the expressway, at a repair facility, stopping at a traffic light, going down the road. Speed is not a common factor. The key has one or two other keys on the "key chain". There is no special weather situation. I do not know if it is the same cause as the gm problem with the ignition, but it produces the same result. This is a handicap shuttle van. *tr

As i applied the brakes and attempted to turn the brakes automatically locked up and would not release. I was in traffic the truck would not move in the middle of the highway. It also happened again as i attempted to back into the driveway. I applied the brakes and began turning the steering wheel the brakes again went to the floor and would not release. Ask the dealership and they said oh yeah that happens sometimes on those vehicles. *tr

We have a 2006 ford f-450 that was purchased in november 2005. In october 2008 the "water in fuel" warning light came on. The ford dealer found no water and replaced a fuel water module at no charge. Now the truck loses power without notice and we are told that the coating on the interior of ford diesel fuel tanks corrodes and collects as sediment in the fuel system. The sediment, collects at the bottom of the fuel tank and is sucked into the fuel system. The truck cannot be driven safely. Ford claims there is no warranty for this malfunction. *tr

2006 ford e-450 bus, gas tank delamination with 46,000 miles causing vehicle to stall and stop nearly causing an accident at an intersection at night. A police officer stopped and set up flares, and we avoided a serious accident. Ford denied claim stating the gas tank delamination was caused by the government's relaxation on diesel fuel additives. It caused us $3500.00 to repair the vehicle due to a defect in the fuel tank coating by ford. *tr

The engine quite several times, the last time the vehicle was totally dead and wouldn't restart. Also, the emergency flashers were inoperative. *tr
