Ford Excursion Acceleration problems by year

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 ford excursion. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle accelerated independently to approximately 75-80 mph.

Cruise control cutout switch mounted on master cylinder is full of brake fluid including the electrical connector. The vin number doesn't link to a recall. Perhaps the previous owner had switch replaced under recall or perhaps this vin wasn't in the original recall. In any event a fire hazard is present.

It will not disengage when cruise control is in use. It continues to do this if used.

On sept. 29,2014I approached stop light and applied brakes, engine rpm increased very high and brakes would not hold vehicle - had to put it in neutral and engine rpm continue to go higher - this lasted for about 10 seconds before engine went back to idle speed then we proceeded home with no more problems. This has done this several times before and each time brakes would not hold vehicle back. I took it to ford in 2013 and explained it to them and they said to put gas stabilizer in tank as the gas in tank was...

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

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 ford excursion. In july of 2009 the vehicle was taken to the dealer for recall 09v399000 vehicle speed control; however, the repair didn't correct the failure. On july 30, 2010 while driving the contact noticed smoke under the hood. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic who stated that a faulty switch in the cruise control area caused the fan and fuses to fail. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was no longer under warranty and the switch was only replaced at the time of the recall repair; therefore, if it was leaking they are not responsible for the switch failing. The failure mileage was 131,000 and the current mileage was 140,000.
