Vehicle was involved n an accident due to brake failure. The abs went out. When opened the hood for investigation the master cyclinder separted from the brake booster cylinder. No lock on bolt and the nut sheared itself off. Called Ford and left message. Had to put new transmission at 16,000 miles as well. Had 2 mechanics look at this and suggested Ford should take notice.

I have a 2004 Ford Excursion with 9000 miles on it presently and have had numerous incidents with the vehicle losing power and getting stuck in the midde of the road and highway. This problem first occured in December 2004 with 5000 miles on it . Since then it has been back to the dealership numerous times for the same problem and I have been told they can not find the problem. The problem did occur when they drove the truck . They put a egr valve and reprogrammed the computer, since then they are stumped and said they cant find the problem. It was just at the dealership for a month , it also had a recall to overhaul the transmission , since I got the truck back the loss of power has occurred to my wife and kids . I feel this vehicle is very unsafe and should not be on the road for my families safety as well as others. I since spoke with Ford customers relations and they told me they could not do anything because the dealership can not find the problem. This truck is not even 1 year old yet , to the date it was manufactured.

When driving the vehicle shifted hard. Please provide more information.

I have a 2001 Ford Excursions, with only 54,000 miles the transmission is going to have to be overhauled do to a defect that Ford knows about and changed in newer models that cause the automatic transmission skip second gear. I have seen many other people on the internet talk about it but I like most people do not know where to go to make Ford fix the problem.

The automatic transmission shiftsedto a lower gear while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on 8/5/2003, who stated the transmission lost power in the second and fourth gears. Please provide details.

While driving, the second gear in the transmission froze up.

Our transmission on our Ford 2000 Excursion keeps going out. On dangerous two lane mountain roads where the vehicle takes up the entire lane and I always have children in the car. I am on my third transmission and my three year old son now asks if the car is going to break down each and everytime we get into the vehicle. I'm afraid to go anywhere. The problem is this as I see it. The clutch on the fan that cools the transmission kicks on at 40 mph, also the cooler is too small for the size of engine and transmission, and I'm tired of putting after market equipment on a vehicle that I paid so much for. On mountainous two lane roads you never get the vehicle up to 40 mph thus making the vehicle labor and run hot, thus causing the transmission to boil and fall apart inside. The engineers should know of this problem it is with the diesel engine that this occurs. I have a friend with an f250, same chassis as my Excursion and he is on his fifth transmission. My fear is twofold, that I will break down again on these dangerous mountain roads and cause an accident, also my vehicle will soon be out of warranty allowing Ford to be off the hook. I still have to pay for my expensive vehicle whether it performs or not and I feel this is a severe problem and safety issue that needs to be rectified, we paid a lot for this vehicle to be performing so poorly.

Transmission failed and vehicle failed to respond to acceleration. At last incident fluid came out from underneath, causing it to ignite while vehicle was being driven. This would be the third time the gasket seal of the transmission was replaced along with main central valve.

Vehicle was in park and with ignition on when it rolled a 1/2 foot forward. This was common for the vehicle. . Ford was notified. Please provide more information.

While driving at 40 mph and coming up on a traffic light consumer proceeded to go, but vehicle would not go higher than 20mph, rpms were at 2800. Vehicle was crossing a busy intersection, and could have been broad sided or rear ended. This was a very dangerous situation. Please provide any further information.

The consumer stated that the vehicle would not go into reverse or park after driving in snow, due to snow being located in the linkage.

When vehicle stopped at a red light or when the vehicle just stopped vehicle would sudden accelerate. Had to step on brake pedal to restraint vehicle. This had happened when transmission was placed in reverse. Please provide more information.

When towing boat in hot weather the transmission started leaking from rear seal. Truck was taken to dealer 3 times to remedy problem. Have not towed boat since so not sure if it will return.

Vehicle was parked, consumer was in process of getting into vehicle, and it popped out of gear, and lurched backward. Consumer fell off running board, and vehicle rolled over his foot.
