While driving down a steep grade, engine cut out and set a ses code. Had a hard time getting the SUV to stop and almost lost control of vehicle, but due to the slow nature of driving I kept it under control with 8 occupants in SUV. Once stopped, I got out code reader and found out that the cps (cam position sensor) had failed. I had a spare in the SUV and replaced it. Contacted Ford main office and they have known it to be a problem with the diesels and nothing is being done to get a recall or replacement part to fix cps problem.

Cps failed on 2000 Ford 7. 3l diesel.

I have a 2001 Excursion and the driver's side seat belt pops free by it's self several times during a couple of hours of driving. Dealer said it wasn't covered. I also had the windows & door locks stop working back in 2006. It needed a new gem module and some fuse panel work (due to a leak in the windshield seal from the factory). I finally saved up enough money to get everything fixed-- roughly $1100. 00. The rep. From the window company said he has seen several like this himself.

I have a 2003 Ford Excursion v-10. This vehicle is equipped with adjustable foot pedals which routinely stop working, sometimes in the fully retracted position. When this happens the drivers seat also does not work, making the vehicle un-driveable for my wife whose reach is considerably shorter than mine. Fords solution to this problem is to replace the seat at an out-of-pocket cost starting at about $800. 00, instead of tracing the bad wire or faulty control module. Internet research has shown me that this problem is apparently prevalent in the larger Ford SUV's manufactured from 2003-2006. I feel this defect should be corrected in a factory recall and not at the expense of vehicle owners when the problem is clearly faulty exuipment / design. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

On route 228 I was going about 45 mph. My truck just stopped, everything turned off steering was locked I put it in park ank had to make two attempts to start my truck up again the batterry light blinked and went off.

I have a 99 Ford expedition. Tail lights, brake lights, hazard lights, and rear wiper works when they want to work. Taken it to service shop, cannot duplicate problem.

At 76000 miles the spark plug blew out of my v10 Excursion. The Excursion is a 2000 model year and in very good condition. The plugs have never been changed since new. Ford will not fix it as it is out of warranty and the warranty company, (heritage insurance) will not cover it as they say it is a defect with the design of the head and plugs from Ford. They say there is not enough threads in the head design. This seems to be echoed on the internet in many forums and other articles. Appearently Ford knows about this and still does nothing, except chage their customers thousands to fix the problem. Furthermore the fix of replacing the head is not a permenant solution.

Recently purchased a 2000 Ford Excursion. Blew spark plug right out of head. Took back to dealer where I purchased it. They put in a heil coil. 5 months later same thing happened only different spark plug. Took to Ford. Told it was going to cost me 3500. 00 to replace new head. Did some research online, this is a very common problem with 1996-present Ford trucks and even Ford mustangs. Ford is refusing to acknowledge the problem. Meantime everyone who it happens to usually ends up shelling out $3000. 00 plus.

Ford Excursion 2002, blew out spark plug through piston cap,. . After $5000. 00 in fixes, I went to pick it up, and it blew up again on the way home from the dealership. I lost power on the freeway going 65 miles per hour, and almost crashed. Ford was not at all helpful, and even though I am a very good customer, could care less about me, the danger of the v10 engine blow ups, or about their customers lives. . . . Is their any way you guys could make them do the right thing ??? isn't there any law or organization that can help us ??? (per 10/24/2005 phone call with consumer: no crash, no injuries, no fire, no property damage other than engine damage - c. Rose).

Excursion was bought 7-01 approximately 3months after purchase head lamp switch broke off. Took truck into dealer and was told this was not covered under warranty and would be 190. 00 to fix. Upon research found that the 2000 model Excursion had a recall for this same problem [NHTSA recall no. 01v075/Ford recall no. 01s09] the part no. For the 2000 and 2001 has been replaced. It would be logical to me if the part number for the 2000 Excursion and the 2001 Excursion are the same then they both should be recalled. In addition the passenger front and side door do not lock when internal button is depressed. The interior lights do not shut off if the back hatch is opened and moisture is present.

The vehicle experienced electrical and suspension problems. The suspension problem caused the tires to wear prematurely. Please provide any additional information.
