Tl* the contact owns a 2003 ford excursion. The contact stated that the gear shift lever sparked a fire and the wiring of the shifter began to melt. The vehicle was engulfed in smoke shortly after the failure. The contact immediately shut off the vehicle and disconnected the battery. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician stated that the wiring insulation of the lever had worn and caused the failure. As a result, the gear shift assembly would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired....

At night, in fog, in driveway, I turned on high beams, defrosters, wipers and lowered driver window. A major silver electrical circuit in the fuse breaker box overheated melted and popped. Ford's incompetent electrical engineer's design causes circuit board silver circuitry in fuse box to melt, while no circuit breakers melt/work. The circuit that melted also causes vehicle to lose use of indicators and gauges in the dash gauge panel, the alternator also fails to work and vehicle dies within a day, with no warning,...

At top of a hill I stopped completely and shifted to low gear, the wires in gear shift knob sparked loudly and began burning. Stopped car immediately, opened hood and disconnected battery. Overdrive indicator light harness is a shoddy design. Wire insulation wears through while rubbing with gear shifter selection. There is no armoring or other covering for the thin flimsy harness wires.

Our ford 2003 excursion speed control/cruise control stopped working after the recall repair has been performed. There is brake fluid leaking from the master cylinder on the wiring harness. Ford states they will not repair again for no charge. My complaint is that I believe this should be taken care of at no charge to the consumer. Thank you *tr

We own a 2003, diesel ford excursion. Late on 6/10 as we were going down a steep curve the engine stalled. We lost all power. It took all my husband's strength to keep the truck on the road, without power steering. The braking system was diminished. This could have been a potential disaster for our family, we had 2 children in the vehicle as well. He managed to get us somewhat off to the side of the road. The vehicle would not start. This is a very dangerous, potentially life-threatening malfunction of the...

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...

I have a 2003 ford excursion diesel turbo 6.0 Engine. The vehicle has been to the dealer at least 5 times since the above date for a/c problems & shutting off on me.

While I am driving the lights turn off & I lose power. They are unable to find & correct the problem & I am afraid to drive the vehicle because I have to pick up my 4 children and feel I am putting them at risk for an accident.*Ak

On february 2007 I was driving the expedition in rush hour trafficwhen I noticed that car began to feel very heavy. I also noticed that the speedometer was going down despite fact that I was pressing down the gas pedal, and suddenly all of the engine lights turned on. I was able to pull over and start the car with no problem ,but 5 minutes later it will do the same thing all over again. I took the car to the dealer, and ever since they are awaiting for parts to come in ,and they have been on national backorder. Ford d refuses to give me either a rental or a loaner. Ford consumer department sucks.*Ak

My 2003 ford explorer is experiencing similar symptoms reported by other fire victims: cruise control totally inoperative, persistent abs alerts, "low oil pressure" alerts (sometimes just days after an oil change), and steering issues. The local ford dealership is providing service at my expense but pretended that they had no idea as to what the problem was. After doing research on the internet, and reading testimonies from other fire victims, I am terrified. In my subdivision, houses stand only a few feet apart...The homeowner's association prohibits any parking on the street. The 2003 ford explorer models should also be recalled immediately.

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. *Jb
