Ford E-450 V10 issues..
I drive a Ford E-450 cutaway with a V10 gasoline engine. It's fairly new with 19,000 kms. There is no warranty. Company sourced it from the states and it's just complicated to say the least.
3 problems that have started to develop and has gotten worse over the last couple of months.
1. When braking, the vehicle shudders like the rotors are bent. It feels exactly like my MB GLK and I had the rotors replaced on it. What I don't get is why has it bent at around 15,000 - 19,000 kms. Can it be something else?
2. The oil gauge fluctuates from normal to zero oil when I'm braking. The oil light comes on. When I accelerate, the gauge is back to normal and the light is gone.
3. At random times, the vehicle will suddenly shake at idle and at lower speeds. Feels like the engine is misfiring. When I restart the vehicle, it's back to normal. Sometimes if I hit a pothole hard enough, the engine starts to shake the vehicle again. I'm not sure how a misfire feels, but I'm guessing it's misfiring since the vehicle shakes from side to side like nicki minaj.
Any ideas? I thought ford commercial vehicles were reliable. Never seen seen such issues on any cars I've owned at such low kms.
