Ford Excursion Steering problems by year

Tie rod end broke in half. Tie rod fell to the ground

The vehicle has a steering issue. It will pull to the right mostly but occasionally to the left. So you spend the entire drive correcting the wheel to try to keep the vehicle in the road. Towing is impossible with this issue because it causes the trailer to go in to a snaking motion because of the constant steering correction. This occurs when ever the car is in motion. *Tr

Right side tie rod end came out of coupler due to worn threads. Happened immediately upon leaving house, so very low speed. Vehicle had to be towed and repaired.

Driving on level streets, highways, experienced intermittent ghost steering inputs resulting in vehicle maneuvering severely left or right. Also, no auto-recovery from 90 degree cornering turn. Vehicle would continue in turn direction until severe steering wheel input by driver. At highway speeds, vehicle would intermittently pull left or right (non-dependent on driver input), until finally needing severe corrective steering wheel input to maintain lane. Corrective inputs of 1/4 turn or more needed 100% of time....

I was turning my ford excursion and heard a loud "pop!" My steering wheel appeared to "break" and the vehicle kept rolling forward. Had I been anywhere else, like traffic, I could have killed someone or myself. *Tr

My husband was driving our 2001 ford excursion with myself and our 19 month old baby down the highway, when it began to smoke and ignited a fire directly under the steering column. We were in traffic, made it a point that we could pull over, get out, removing the baby from the child's seat, and the front seat was engulfed in flames. 911 Was called, and the police and fire department arrived, but there was nothing left of the truck, except the iron shell and iron structures where the seats used to be. We had the...

Cruise control would not engage. Icon on dash just flashed when" set "was depressed. I tried all cruise switches to verify if it was a stuck switch. Pressing cruise" on "and "coast" switches on steering wheel causes horn to sound. Dealer said the brake switch was the cause due to a missing ground buss. The vehicle uses ground switching so the horn should be on all the time. The horn still sounds when switches are depressed. I feel cause is in the steering wheel hub and am concerned this can effect the air bag deployment. *Tr

I put my key in, turned it on and went to shift in to drive and the shifter came right out of the steering column. The vehicle was in between gears.*Cn
