2000 Ford Excursion has an occasional vibration coming from the front of the vehicle. The right front tire had a cut in the sidewall when the consumer first purchased the vehicle. The dealer agreed to replace all of the tires. The consumer noticed a vibration that seemed to be coming from the right rear, with an occasional vibration in the front. It started at about 55 and continued until about 70. The dealer then replaced the rear tires again. They rebalanced all four tires. The vibration was still there. They found this problem in another Excursion but worse.

2003 Ford Excursion lost control under normal highway driving conditions swerving into both left and right lanes barely missing other vehicles. I returned vehicle to dealership with complaint. They had no explanation or solution. I contacted Ford and was told it was up to the dealership to rectify problem. I was not willing to wait and see if it would happen again considering the safety of my family. We were left with no option from the dealership other than to trade vehicle in with great financial loss. They would not consider a buy-back under circumstances. I have copies of letter of complaint and surveys Ford sent to me. I got no further response from Ford. In light of the recent firestone recall regarding Excursions I feel validated in my complaint and would like financial compensation. We acted hastily out of fear and lost a large amount of money in the "trade-in".

While driving 55-60mph vehicle hit a small pothole and began bouncing erratically, and consumer lost control. Consumer was not able to keep vehicle in lane,and was only able to regain control once vehicle came to a complete stop. Problem has occurred twice; 1st incident 06/03/02, and 2nd incident 07/16/02. Vehicle is currently being checked by dealer.

At speeds of 40 mph and over vehicle shakes/vibrates and pulls to the side. Dealer is unable to remedy.

While driving 50 mph and rolling over bumps/pot holes, and rough surfaces, it causes vehicle to virate severely and lose steering control. Dealer and manufacturer had not been notified at this time. Feel free to provide any further information.

Vehicle sways a lot when driving, consumer constantly has to counter that. Dealer cannot find a problem.

Truck keeps pulling and jumping across lanes at speeds of 50 it has been at freedom Ford 3times and the last time had an accident hitting into a tractor trailor as it jumped from right lane to left smashing my mirror and door I use this vech. As a livery (limo) and are afraid it might kill me or some one else fmcc says I have to wait 5 times for lemon law and they are fixing door and mirror but still dont know why it pulls that way. I dont know what to do and are scared of driving this vech again.

There is a slight vibration at 30 mph, and at 70 mphn it gets worse. Steering wheel starts to shake. Took to dealer, and they put a damper on vehicle, vibration stopped just a little. Consumer stated that dealer could not find a solution.

At four thousand miles a popping noise could be heard coming from engine. Consumer contacted dealer for this problem. Vehicle was deemed unsafe, and was traded for a 2001 model. Consumer began to experience same problem. Please provide further details.

Consumer was traveling about 60mph on highway without prior notice front end of vehicle started bouncing up and down to the point that driver almost lost control of vehicle. Dealership aware of problem.

When driving at highway speeds and road is just a bit uneven, vehicle bounces all over road. Hard to control, this does not happen when towing trailer. Consumer states that the front bottoms out and causes the front end to rise suddenly, consumer feels the problem is with the rubber stoppers that are bolted to the frame that keep the spring from hitting the frame, the ones on this vehicle are only 3/4 inch clearanced from the top of the spring to the stopper, consumer states most vehicles have 4 inches.

It will not pull 10,000 pounds. It has a stability problem. Puling 5000 pound cause rollover.

While driving above 45 mph and making a stop vehicle goes to the left which may cause a crash. Ford is aware of problem, but has no solution.

While driving vehicle pulls to either left or the right. Also, extreme vibration occurs. Please give any further details.

Vehicle has very poor handling on rough roads. Dealer installed steering stabilizer which has helped with the vibration in the steering wheel, however, the vehicle still experiences a loss of control on bumpy road surfaces. Vehicle pulls to the right. It has been aligned 3 times in 2,500 miles and dealer is still unable to fix. Drivers side door creaks at highway speeds. Has been in shop 3 times for this and dealer is unable to fix.

Poor design causes vehicle to experience serious shaking/vibrating while driving at speeds over 55 mph. Nlm.

While driving over bumps in the road vehicle inadvertently veered to other lanes of traffic. Dealer attempted to fix the vehicle several times, but had not resolved the problem.

While driving vehicle pulls continuously to right, had to pull to left to keep vehicle straight. Please provide any further infformation, and indentification number.
