2008 Ford E-350 15 Passenger Wagon Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2008 Ford E-350 15 Passenger Wagon

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"i was driving on i215 in salt lake city utah at 65mph when i hit a small bump in the road and the front end of the truck began shaking violently and i could not regain control before it ran me off the road into a ditch narrowly missing a concrete barrier and another vehicle. there was no impact, however i am not sure how i kept it from rolling the truck. this has happened to me in three other ford trucks ranging from 2006 to 2008 that i used to drive at work. and now my personal 2008 f350. i hear that they call it the death wobble. i want to know why there is no recall for this. *tr"

Complaint:
"we ordered a new 2008 econoline e-350 xlt and after driving we discerned the steering was very loose; it had an unusual amount of "play"; it floated around the road. it was extremely difficult to control on the highways especially at higher speeds. we brought it back to the dealer and both service manager and general manager took it for a test drive and confirmed there was a serious problem. van was brought in for another appointment to investigate the issue. they "tightened" some parts (?) and asked for me to drive it home and report back if it were any better. contacted them again and informed them the problem remained the same. they scheduled the van again for another appointment/diagnosis and they contacted ford tech hot line. ford hot line informed the service manager that there have been other complaints and there must be a faulty engineering design in the steering system. the ford dealer informed us that the van required yet another appointment and that the brand new van that was just built required a re-alignment at a specialty alignment facility. the van was brought in again and was "realigned" or major adjustments were made to the steering system. upon our test drive after the last "repair" we determined it was worse than before, the van floated across the road and pulled to the left side. we informed the ford dealership that the van repair was not acceptable, we contacted ford corp. hot line and informed them we will begin looking into the steps to take regarding our state's "lemon laws." simultaneously, an engineer from ford motor company responsible for the east coast is scheduled to inspect and diagnose the van's steering issues in january. the dangers are numerous and obvious. our position is it is a brand new vehicle that has an engineering faulty design; it was incorrectly built and/or designed and we are concerned as to what other vehicle components have been affected by the faulty design. *tr"
