Lighting recalls for the 2002 Ford Excursion
Lighting complaints
The dome light on the 2002 ford escape 3.0L caused burning on the sunroof sliding cover when the cover was opened. This has the potential to starting a fire, although now therewas only a slow burn. *Ak
Interior lights will not go out. This started happening out of nowhere one day. It is a serious safety issue for night driving. I was told it needs an instrument cluster panel and door latch with estimated cost of over $700.00. Ford said it's not under warranty. This vehicle was purchased new. I suspect this is a defect in many excursions. I have been driving 38 years and have never experienced or heard of a problem of this nature. This is not a wear and tear issue. I believe it is a defective part. Also, power seat on drivers side has now stopped working.*Ak
While traveling, the owner has noticed that the headlights are not aimed correctly. When approaching oncoming traffic the headlights blind drivers. The dealerships has service the vehicle three times with no change in condition.*Ak
