2005 Ford Excursion

6.0L DIESEL ENGINES TO ADDRESS REPORTED INCIDENTS OF ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING OCCURRED UP TO 9 TIMES IN ONE DAY. ON JUNE 25 TOOK VEHICLE TO CERTIFIED DIESEL TECH, NO COMPUTER ERRORS. D & S SERVICE TECHS TROUBLE SHOT FOR 5 DAYS TO NO AVAIL. MANUFACTURE HAS NO ADVICE FOR REPAIR. AFTER 1 WEEK BEING SERVICED AND OVER $1,800 OF WORK IT STALLED AGAIN ON JULY 3RD. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. PLEASE HELP IN ADDRESSING THIS MATTER. THANK YOU. *TR

WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY MERGING ONTO ANOTHER FREEWAY WHEN THE TRUCK SUDDENLY STALLED. THERE WERE NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART. WE HAD FOUR CHILDREN WITH US, THREE OF THEM SMALL AND IN CAR SEATS. WE HAD TO TRANSFER THE CHILDREN INTO A TOW TRUCK WITH MOVING TRAFFIC ON BOTH SIDES OF US. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT CAUSING MAJOR TRAUMA OR DEATH. FICM IS GOOD, WE ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM, BUT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL PUMP. THIS 6.0L DIESEL ENGINE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY FORD. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED WITH PICK-UPS AND VANS, BUT NOT THE EXCURSION. *TR

I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN PURCHASING THIS FORD TRUCK....I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 5 YEARS AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME REASON...EGR VALVE GETS STUCK AND I'M STUCK ON SIDE THE HIGHWAY....I CANNOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE TO GET ME TO THE CORNER STORE LET ALONE A LONG DISTANCE TRIP. ALTHOUGH I LOVED MY TRUCK...THE COST OF THESE REPAIRS HAVE JUST BEEN ASTRONOMICAL, NOT TO MENTION THE INCONVENIENCE OF CONSTANT TOWING AND DAYS SPENT IN THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT FORD COMPANY IS MORE THAN AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE 6.0-LITER DIESEL ENGINES AND HAS DONE LITTLE TO NOTHING TO HELP ITS CONSUMERS. MY HUSBAND AND I LOVED FORD TRUCKS, BUT THIS WILL CERTAINLY BE THE LAST TIME I PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY OR ITS BRANDS. IN FACT, IT IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN!!!!! AS I TYPE THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

THIS FAILURE WOULD CAUSE A HEAVY WHITE SMOKE TO EMIT FROM THE TAIL PIPE AND IF THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, THE HEAD GASKET WOULD OVERHEAT AND ALLOW WATER AND GASOLINE INTO THE ENGINE. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 163,000.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, VEHICLE HAD A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. TRAVELING WITH FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE HAD TO BRING TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER ASSISTANCE. MO HIGHWAY PATROL (MOTORIST ASSIST) HAD TO BE CALLED TO LOCATE TOW TRUCK AS WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. WE WERE TOLD FORD HAS GIVEN ASSISTANCE ON THE REPAIR OF THIS SPECIFIC ENGINE ON OTHER VEHICLES, PICK UP OR LARGE VAN, HOWEVER THEY ARE IGNORING THE SAME REPAIRS AND FAILURES WITH THIS ENGINE IN THE EXCURSIONS.*TR

VEHICLE WAS BACKING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND THE MOTOR STARTED SURGING AND BLOWING WHITE SMOKE. I LOST ALL POWER AND SLAMMED INTO MY TRAILER. THIS IS A KNOWN FAILURE OF THE EGR VALVE I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED AND CLEANED FIVE TIMES. THE TRUCK LOOSE ALL BRAKING POWER AND STEERING POWER WHEN THE TRUCK DIES. THEY HAVE HAD MANY KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED ISSUES IN THE AMBULANCE INDUSTRY. *TR
