Gov't Concludes Ford E-Series Van Is Safe

DETROIT (WWJ) - After a 2-year investigation, the federal government has concluded that the Ford E-series van is is safe.

The automaker received more than 1,000 complaints about over-heated switches. But the feds determined that Ford did plenty on its own - including re-designing the switches, and letting dealers know about the problem.

Ford says the switches have performed well during more than 128-billion miles of driving.
