2004 Ford Excursion diesel with 6. 0 engine. The engine is crap. The fuel injectors are bad it's a known problem. I was in an intersection while making a left turn with an on coming vehicle when I had no acceleration and black exhaust was coming out of the tail pipe. I had my 3yr old daughter on that side of the vehicle. This isn't the first problem we have had with this engine as has almost everyone else that owns it. It needs to be recalled. It scared me so bad I cried. I have called the Ford consumer number they did nothing. I am paying Ford $1,500. 00 to fix the problem that I was told would continue to happen because it's a defect in this particular engine. In the words of one of Fords mechanics "he wouldn't own one, they are crap" I'm scared to drive it even after it gets fixed knowing another may go soon or the same one.
