2003 Ford Excursion Transmission problems

The 6.8 And 5.4 Engines have been failing due to defective valve train cam followers. I am having the 3rd engine installed in my excursion. The cam followers are failing and spitting them out causing catstropic engine failure. I have been in contact with anthony bariana who works for holman distribution in new jersey @ 1-800-521-1223 ext 305 and he confirmed that the 6.8 And 5.4 Engines have had the same problem as my truck at an abnormally high rate. Mt truck is currently at matthews paoli ford 610-644-4700 and...

The overdrive light come on and off and my truck loses power and if you at a stop light the truck will cut off. When I take to the shop they that the transmission is going bad but it may be able to be on a recall.

Tl*the contact owns a 2003 ford focus. The vehicle would not shift into reverse from the park position. In order shift into reverse he had to shift the vehicle into neutral and allow it to slowly roll backwards. Upon driving the vehicle he also noticed the vehicle would not shift into 6th gear. A diagnostic test was not performed. The failure and current mileages were 50,000.

While driving in a nice asphalted road up a hill, I felt like the transmission suddenly started to slip. The vehicle lost forward momentum so I looked for a safe place to make an emergency stop. I ended up at a service station where the vehicle caught fire quickly. The vehicle was completely lost and the service station suffered considerable damage. *Tr

My 2003 ford windstar's transmission just went out with absolutely no warning. It only has 65,000 miles on it. I was going down a very busy road and when I pushed down on the gas, the engine revved up. Thank god I was somewhere I could let the van coast off the road being I had 4 small children in the van with me. I have heard there is a problem with ford's transmissions. Unfortunately, we have had to pay for the transmission. I believe ford ought to correct this issue per their own expense before someone gets seriously hurt because their vehicle just stops pulling in the middle of a busy road. I will never buy a ford again. *Tr

My 2003 ford expedition is now on its 4th rear differential in 8 months. We started complaining about it in dec. Of last year and now have received our fourth repair, not counting the 3 times that they didn't fix it for some reason or other. The first fix lasted two weeks and last and most reliable lasted 3 months. I also have also been having a popping noise after the heater or air conditioner is run for any period of time, however that can't be repaired, no fix available. I am feed up, I contacted ford corp directly, but they won't help me. *Jb

2003 Excursion limited one one occasion brake pedal was stuck to floor while driving in a parking lot, but the brakes were disengaged so the vehicle was rolling. We had to press the pedal height adjustment several times before the pedal released from the floor. Vehicle has a thumping sound in the drive train when stopping the vehicle and during acceleration. Took the vehicle in 3-4 times for second problem and once for the first listed problem and dealer complains that they can't find anything wrong with...

I have an eddie bauer edition expedition (2003) . This unit came with outside rear view mirrors that tilt down and inward when you put the car in reverse to assist you in backing up. The issue I have had since it was purchased new is that the mirrors do not return to thier original position consistently once you put the venicle back into a forward gear. This issue becomes a safety issue once out on the roadways as when I go to pass I can't see if there are any vechicles in the lane I need to get into. Harold...

I purchased the 2003 explorer in nov 2003. On 6/16/04, 8/17/04,and finally on 8/20/04, I complained regarding the fuel guage not registering a full tank. Ford finally replaced fuel tank. On dec 10, 2004, I brought the car in because when going from park to reverse, a whining and clunking noice could be heard. Also, because sometimes the car doesn't start. At first ford claimed nothing was wrong regarding the clunking. I then reminded them about the recalls being discussed in the news regarding the 2004...

I have a ford taurus with approximately 41,900 miles on it. The vehicle was bought in for service because the transmission was shuddering and skipping badly at times. The service department at the dealership advised that the auto needed a new transmission. Since the vehicle was out of warranty, I asked ford and the dealership for assistance with getting a new transmission. It is extremely odd that at 41,900 miles any vehicle would need a new transmission. This should qualify as a defect. But ford said since the auto was out of warranty, they were under no obligation to assist. *Ak

The rear drive shaft fell off the vehicle while driving. *Mr the damage also caused the four wheel drive transfer case to shear off from the transmission. *Ts *scc *jb

Truck was in shop for 9 days. 7 Days after truck was out of shop went into shop again for 23 days for defective paint job. Took truck in again on august 21, 2003 for ac not working and clicking sound in transmission. Still in shop. *Ak

When the car is put into reverse it does not want to move. If you increase the rpm's, it still just sets there. The problem has been very inconsistent. Reverse seems to be at this point, the only place it occurs. In one of the attempts to fix the problem, the technician found that 3 of the 4 calipers were froze/dried up. This does not set well with me and I see it as a possibly dangerous situation. *Nlm

TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *JB
