2004 Ford excursion. Consumer writes in regard to brake failure from ruptured brake line. *As *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 ford excursion. The contact stated that while traveling 55 mph and applying the brakes, there was an abnormal noise heard from the braking system. The brake pedal became stuck and the vehicle would not slow down. The contact continued to pump the brakes and was able to coast to a stop. The contact later parked the vehicle and noticed that a fire had started from under the vehicle. The contact was able to extinguish the fire however, the transmission and central computer was destroyed....

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 ford excursion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 mph he depressed the brake pedal but the brakes failed to respond. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that one of the brake lines was corroded and had a hole rusted through. As a result, the brake line needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 76,745.

I own a 2002 excursion. Never in water or an accident.85,000 Miles only serviced by ford,lincoln dealerships. Lost 'brakes'. Brakes went to the floor. It turns out all the brake fluid lines (not the hoses) and the fuel line is 'rotted' out. Called ford, case#[[redacted]] . Declined to do anything because vehicle out of 6 year warranty. Dealership said 'this never should have happened'. We need help, cost of replacing all close to $2000.I am the original owner. Can you help? We have a 2001 ford van, 175,000 miles. All the lines are like brand new. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6). *Tr

I seem to be having a braking problem with my 2002 ford excursion. I have had to replace brake pads and rotors on a number of instances. It seem to be caused by the brake caliper slide brackets which prevent the proper caliper travel when activated. This was a complaint I have addressed since my purchase of the vehicle. The problem gives the vehicle an uneven brake activation, which causes poor handling while braking. The dealer say that it is not a warranty issue. The dealer has replaced 2 calipers, but each...

Tl*the contact owns a 2001 ford excursion. While driving, the brakes failed at least eight times. The dealer informed the contact that the brakes were operating normally. The dealer also stated that the could run a diagnostic test for $85; yet, the contact declined the test. The failure mileage was 20,000 and the current mileage was 254,000.

Abs and brake lights has continued to be on and cruise control has stopped working. *Tr

2001 Ford excursion 7.3L powerstroke diesel with 114500 miles : abs control module stopped working and disabled anti lock braking system causing vehicle to skid uncontrollably on wet surface. Failure is permanent in nature and cannot be reset, so anti-lock braking system is deactivated. Repair required is for the abs control module to be replaced by dealer (cost exceeds $500) and old part is not available. *Tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2003 ford excursion. The contact stated that the vehicle lost its power steering and the brakes failed. The failures have occurred twice. While driving at an unknown speed on the highway, the master cylinder and the hydro boost failed while the brakes were being applied. This forced the master cylinder into the engine compartment. The dealer and manufacturer have not yet been notified. The contact is an afc certified technician and replaced the components himself. The current mileage was 64,000 and failure mileage was 60,000.

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 ford explorer. While driving on an unpaved road, the contact's husband stopped the vehicle and applied the parking brake. He then released the brake and applied the accelerator pedal. He noticed that the brakes felt loose and the contact exited the vehicle. She discovered a puddle of brake fluid underneath the vehicle. The vehicle has not been taken to the mechanic. The vin was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 82,063.

The front brake rotors go out about every 1500 miles. I cost over 350 a shot to have them fixed. The entire vehile shimmers and pulls. *Nm

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. *Nm

Lost control of vehicle resulting in rollover crash. Exact defect uncertain (happened very quickly) but probably right rear wheel locked with inability to steer vehicle as result. Also, several month history of difficulty with brakes for months with identifiable cause despite 4 visits to ford mechanics. *Jb

Brake rotors warp excessively. Just purchased used vehicle, had to have the rotors turned and brake system serviced after 5,000 miles. Vehicle would vibrate excessively upon application of brake. Ford service representatives that inspected the brake system stated that the pads looked almost new. In doing research on the internet this exact scenario seems to be playing out with 2000 - 2004 excursion models. Other owners claim to have the brake serviced and rotors turned every 15000 - 25000 miles. It seems that the rotors are not adequate to handle the weight of the vehicle with out needing excessive service on a frequent basis. *Nm
