 About a month ago my 200 ford excursion service engine soon light came on. then 2 days later my overdirve light started flashing and it would jerk when changing gears. the ford dealershio where i live has had it in and out of the shop 4 times with no remedy. i have already spent $400.00 with it not fixed. front speed sensor and the rear sensor have both been replaced. also transmission fluid was drained and replaced. i then came across many other ford owners that have had this same problem.

 2000 ford excursion roll a way in reverse when parked. *jb

 Our transmission on our ford 2000 excursion keeps going out. on dangerous two lane mountain roads where the vehicle takes up the entire lane and i always have children in the car. i am on my third transmission and my three year old son now asks if the car is going to break down each and everytime we get into the vehicle. i'm afraid to go anywhere. the problem is this as i see it. the clutch on the fan that cools the transmission kicks on at 40 mph, also the cooler is too small for the size of engine and transmission, and i'm tired of putting after market equipment on a vehicle that i paid so much for. on mountainous two lane roads you never get the vehicle up to 40 mph thus making the vehicle labor and run hot, thus causing the transmission to boil and fall apart inside. the engineers should know of this problem it is with the diesel engine that this occurs. i have a friend with an f250, same chassis as my excursion and he is on his fifth transmission. my fear is twofold, that i will break down again on these dangerous mountain roads and cause an accident, also my vehicle will soon be out of warranty allowing ford to be off the hook. i still have to pay for my expensive vehicle whether it performs or not and i feel this is a severe problem and safety issue that needs to be rectified, we paid a lot for this vehicle to be performing so poorly. *nlm

 This is a 2000 ford excursion limited 4x4, v-10. the truck has 38,000 miles and is well maintained. there were no signs of leaking prior to failure. the only symptoms was a knock intermittently several thousand miles prior to failure, but no cause for the sound could be found on inspection. at the time of failure, the u-joint at the end of the axle shaft had 1/4 free play in it in all directions and came within 1/4 of hitting the bolt/nut assembly just below it. that nut holds the lower portion of the wheel spindle bracket in place. this is a potentially dangerous situation because if the bolt was hit by the u-joint with enough force, it could shear off causing the wheel to come off of the vehicle and lead to a crash. the vehicle is at the dealership for repair. however, since the actual failure happened after the 36,000 mile mark neither the dealer nor ford will pay for any part of the repair. both ford and the dealer service department, do not know why the bearing failed. nor do they know of any preventive measures. the vehicle has not been off roading beyond dirt roads and is running stock sized tires.*ak

 I own a 2000 ford excursion and have had problems with the rotors warping since new. the dealers have said i was the only one with this problem but after seeing this web site i see that is not true. also i had the bearings go out in the right front wheel almost leading to the tire falling off if my wife had not noticed it in time. the rotors have been replaced twice have been turned at least every 15,000 miles since new i have around 80,000 miles now. the dealer did the brakes three times until the warrnty ran out at 36,000 miles i have had them fixed myself since then. this truck is said to be heavy duty and i only tow a camper with it twice a year 60 mile round trip i feel like i should not be having this kind of problem. the severe shaking that is caused by this makes if difficult to drive for my wife since she is the primary driver of the car. i cannot wait till my lease runs out so i can get rid of this car. the dealers will not help me at all. thank for and help you might can give william andrews
