Known issues on the 2000 Econoline. Five recalls are on federal record for the 2000 Econoline. One concerns the cruise control, where a previously installed wiring harness did not match the circuit polarity, leaving the fuse in the output circuit instead of the power feed. Two cover aftermarket corner and bumper lamp assemblies that failed to conform to headlamp requirements, and another concerns lug nuts on cutaway and stripped chassis with single rear wheels. Owners have logged 235 complaints with NHTSA, clustering on tires, suspension and vehicle speed control. The manual's wiring diagrams, speed control diagnostics and suspension and wheel procedures cover those areas.
