| We purchased a 2001 ford diesel excursion in february 2005. there were frequent mishaps with various electrical components (e.g. blown fuses, dash lights, heated seats malfunctioning, back-up signals). in january 2009, the excursion caught fire in our driveway; per the insurance inspection, it was a total loss. today we heard about a recall due to an electrical problem that could lead to a fire...we're concerned. *tr | |||

| Excursion was bought 7-01 approximately 3months after purchase head lamp switch broke off. took truck into dealer and was told this was not covered under warranty and would be 190.00 to fix. upon research found that the 2000 model excursion had a recall for this same problem [nhtsa recall no. 01v075/ford recall no. 01s09] the part no. for the 2000 and 2001 has been replaced. it would be logical to me if the part number for the 2000 excursion and the 2001 excursion are the same then they both should be recalled. in addition the passenger front and side door do not lock when internal button is depressed. the interior lights do not shut off if the back hatch is opened and moisture is present. drivers seat is stuck does not go forward or back, motor works seat will not move. *tr | |||

| I have a 2001 excursion and the driver's side seat belt pops free by it's self several times during a couple of hours of driving. dealer said it wasn't covered. i also had the windows & door locks stop working back in 2006. it needed a new gem module and some fuse panel work (due to a leak in the windshield seal from the factory). i finally saved up enough money to get everything fixed-- roughly $1100.00. the rep. from the window company said he has seen several like this himself. *tr | |||

| We have the exact part that is in recall for several other vehicles that ford produces and is causing fire under the hood. when we took our excursion to a ford dealer they deactivated the speed control deactivation switch. this was done because we also have some oil leak in our cam shaft position sensor which was recalled and the two problem can cause a fire. even though this is the exact part that is recalled in other vehicles they are not recalling it in the larger trucks. so now i have no cruise control feature because of the deactivation. speed control deactivation switch, ford just deactivated it since my vehicle is not on the list. same part, same #, *cn | |||

| While driving a powerstroke diesel ford truck, the cam position sensor can fail without warning. this shuts the engine off and your power brakes and steering. very hard to control. the ford dealers don't always diagnose like in my case i left the dealership and it shut off in traffic. i paid $800.00 for a repair i didn't need. i have been researching this since march and have discovered that this is the most common part failure on the 7.3 ford powerstroke diesel engine. the same basic design is used from 1994 to 2003. *nm | |||

| A passerby knocked on our front door letting us know our 2001 ford excursion parked in the driveway was smoking. we called the fire department and while waiting for them, disconnected the battery cables to shut off any power to the vehicle. the fire department investigators determined that the fire was caused by the same cruise control switch that has been causing problems with other makes of ford trucks and suv's. although we have been told by fire investigators and ford parts managers that the module is the same design/part used in all of the other vehicles that have caught on fire, ford is not assuming any responsibility for repairs and has not included our model in its recalls. *nm | |||
