This vehicle is primarily used to go to church and travel with the entire family on the weekends for day trips. We have had it to graham ford several times, germain ford several times, (both are in columbus, ohio) and the last place we have it is donley ford in mount vernon, ohio.we can get a full history of all repairs on this vehicle if needed. There have been so many things gone wrong with the truck that it is difficult to keep track.the service advisor is now telling my wife to "just trade it in". We just want all of the problems fixed correctly and find the cause of the electrical failures/issues/problems instead of just fixing what breaks and not fixing the cause. We paid 50,000 bucks for this vehicle and have had nothing but problems.the start was when we wanted to go to maine and could not take it but had to take our older conversion van.

Total loss of engine power massive amount black soot exiting exhaust while driving recall # 05v270000 was not performed on vehicle ( i am the original owner) never received notice in mail and dealer somehow missed this "work" and ford should have followed through on this situation.

On 11/26/13 driving back from atlanta heading south leaving the florida welcome center on i-75, 4 miles north of jennings on i-75 south jennings.leaving the welcome center the vehicles engine lost power while trying to merge back into traffic without any prior indication of a problem.the loss of power caused us to have to divert from the lane until we could gain more speed.the vehicle had no accelerating power above 40 mph even with the gas pedal depressed all the way to the floor.there were no check engine lights on or any abnormal indicators.i called the ford customer care center on 12/12/13 and they acknowledge they have a problem with the erg failing due to collecting carbon and soot build up.they have not issued any service bulletins to owners letting them know there is an issue or have issued a maintenance program to try to prevent this from occurring.1)ford designed the engine to pass soot and carbon back thru the erg valve. It is a bad design since it causes every engine to eventually fail.2)ford does not warranty the egr valve or any component if soot or carbon sticks to the valve or component, even though it is designed to do so.3)ford knows there is an issue with the egr failing which deposits soot and carbon in the intake of the engine which causes the engine to lose power and or ultimately quit without warning.4)no service bulletins were issued to owners warning them of this safety problem.5)cleaning the egr valve is not listed in the issued service manual.6)no preventative maintenance service was offered to prevent this failure from occurring. 7)dealers enjoy this failure since it is a high labor revenue generator for them to tear down the engine to replace or clean the intake manifold.8)the repair cost was approximately $3319.90 the vehicle is currently under the highest ford premium care warranty.

My 2004 ford excursion threw a spark plug from the cylinder head last week. This caused me to leave my car on the side of the road and try and find a ride home. Once i got the truck home i found the coil had broken off of it's mount and the plug was resting in the hole of the head. The threads are mangled on the plug and stripped out in the head. I have researched this online and found hundreds of complaints about this same issue. Please make ford take responsibility... Thank you.

2004 ford excursion diesel with 6.0 engine. The engine is crap. The fuel injectors are bad it's a known problem. I was inan 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 consumernumber 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.
The hose from the turbo to the intake cooler will blow off and cause pressure loss.when towing a trailer on a hill the engine turbo system will produce high pressure and will blow the hose connecting the turbo to the intake cooler.the vehicle ends up without power, making the situation extremely dangerous to riders and other vehicles due to the radical deceleration, from 65mph to about 15mph while trying to pull to the side.the problem is a common issue to ford owners with diesel engines 2004 and 2005, maybe others.

While checking "all" lights prior to a road trip, i found that my exterior "parking" lights failed to work.i checked for any recalls and found one dated july 13 2011 nhtsa # 11v352000 and ford recall # 11c18. I took the vehicle to my ford dealer who said he could not find a recall on my vehicle.i was quoted a price of, min: $130.00 to diagnostic the problem and find the cure. I'm under the impression this is a "safety recall" for my vehicle, for failure to meet federal motor vehicle safety standard # 108"lamps, reflective devices, associated equipment, and strongly feel it is fords irresponsibility to repair this problem as per the recall listed above.

2004 ford excursion diesel with 6.0 engine. The engine is crap. The fuel injectors are bad it's a known problem. I was inan 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 consumernumber 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.
We purchased 2004 ford excursion with the 6.0l diesel engine new in february 2004. It has been to the dealer now 2 times for the back up sensor, approximately 5 times for the turbo, unable to count the number of times for the lack of power, the vent windows not working, 3 times for the motor on the power drivers seat, ball joints 1 time, and now other front end parts. This vehicle is primarily used to go to church and travel with the entire family on the weekends for day trips. We have had it to graham ford several times, germain ford several times, (both are in columbus, ohio) and the last place we have it is donley ford in mount vernon, ohio.we can get a full history of all repairs on this vehicle if needed. There have been so many things gone wrong with the truck that it is difficult to keep track.the service advisor is now telling my wife to "just trade it in". We just want all of the problems fixed correctly and find the cause of the electrical failures/issues/problems instead of just fixing what breaks and not fixing the cause. We paid 50,000 bucks for this vehicle and have had nothing but problems.the start was when we wanted to go to maine and could not take it but had to take our older conversion van.

Total loss of engine power massive amount black soot exiting exhaust while driving recall # 05v270000 was not performed on vehicle ( i am the original owner) never received notice in mail and dealer somehow missed this "work" and ford should have followed through on this situation. Other repairs done to this vehicle to "fix" this problem was to drain the fuel tank (algae in fuel was the excuse-no algae) fuel pump and filter rail (not problem) two turbochargers were replaced due to excessive sooting (one warranty one at my expense) egr valves and a cam sensor (ford knows the problems exist because ford discountinued the 6.0 litre motor) this problem has occured multiple times over my ownership.
While driving the vehicle, it will go into a reduce power mode or sometimes stall. This has happened at various speeds, from around town to highway driving. Very dangerous condition when trying to make left turns and power is lost or engine stalls. Also engine fails to start or starts and stalls right away on occasion. Call ford customer relations and dealer and they tell me my vin is not covered under the recall. I am experiencing the same symptoms but i am not covered. Don't want to spend more money at dealer if they don't know what ishappening and how to fix it.

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.

Lack of headrests on rear seat and middle seat ford excursion models.cervical spine injury risks and unacceptable. I cannot believe ford has been allowed toget away with this. A recall is in order.
No head rest on rear seat of excursions and no shoulder belts on center rear seats.these safety features were developed specifically to prevent cervical spine and lumbar spine injuries and there is no excuse for these being absent. I could see ford theoretically being held liable if persons were injured due to lack of these features. I strongly believe ford should provide an aftermarket solution to solve this problem. Dr. W. J.

I was having a problem with the brakes on my 2004 ford excursion.the first time was around may of 2005 the truck had about 15000 miles on it.after driving it for short trip, every time i used the brakes, the whole front end and steering wheel would shake.the dealer machined the rotors and sent me on my way.now it has 38000 miles and it's doing it again.it's so bad that you feel like every time you brake you might lose control. I don't think the front rotors on the truck are up to standards. The dealer says they can't help due to the mileage of the truck.
I had a 1998 expedition before buying my 2004 excurion, and i could not keep brakes on the expedition.when shopping for the excursion i made it a point to ask if the brakes were more heavy duty due to my problems on the expecition.i was mislead to believe that theton framework would translate into more heavy duty brake systems. I had my excursion in for service at 20k and requested my brakes be examined when my tires are rotated.i picked the vehicle up to find the tires were never removed or rotated.dealership apologized, said mechanic could tell brakes were fine, and they would look at them in 5k. At my next service 2 months later, they said brakes look fine, but they never drove it to observe the shaking which i told them about at 20000 and 25000. In summary, i?ve been pushed off because (based on the complaints on your web site) they do not want to replace rotors under warranty.now i?m upset.

Purchased new 2004 ford excursion on 3/9/2004. Within a month we discovered a problem with the cruise control.when going down hill, the unit would fail to re-engage as it started back up the hill.sometimes it would re-engage with a massive surge of engine.once the engine totally stalled forcing us to fight the vehicle off the road and out of the flow of traffic.after three returns to the dealership, they finally admitted that there is a known defect and ford is working on determining a fix.we have been calling and waiting since april, 2004 to have this repaired.in the meantime, we do not dare use the cruise control for fear of another stall in heavy traffic.we have continually called the dealership and ford motor (reference number 1684711834).each time we call, they ask the same questions over and over and have yet to tell us an estimated date for a fix. (note in the number of failures below, this is a best guess as it happens every time we go down/up a steep hill...we've stopped using the cruise control because of this...also the incident date is best guess as to when it first started happening.
