| In a june 7, 2005 letter, ford notified odi that it would be conducting a safety recall of approximately 180,000 ford f-super duty, excursion and e-series vehicles equipped with 6.0l diesel engines to correct two wiring related conditions that could result in engine stall (nhtsa recall no. 05v-270, ford no. 05s34).the affected vehicles were built between september 29, 2003 and may 31, 2004.according to ford, vehicles with the conditions may stall without warning and may or may not restart.ford will instruct owners of vehicles included in the recall to take their vehicles to a dealer to have the fuel injector control module wire harness upgraded or replaced and or have a new injection control pressure sensor connector installed.during a may 2005 presentation to odi, ford identified a number of potential failure mechanisms that could affect engine performance in various segments of the subject vehicle population, including the wiring conditions addressed by 05v-270.the wiring conditions, which both affect engine fueling, were the most likely conditions to result in engine stall.the recalled vehicles comprise approximately 43% of the subject vehicle population and account for 75 of the 113 odi reports that have a valid vin (66%).the voq complaint rate for the recall population is 45/100k while the rate for vehicles outside the recall population is 17/100k and their trend (by date of receipt) is declining.based on the analysis, odi believes ford | ||||||

| We purchased 2004 ford excursion with the 6.0l diesel engine new in february 2004. it has been to the dealer now 2 times for the back up sensor, approximately 5 times for the turbo, unable to count the number of times for the lack of power, the vent windows not working, 3 times for the motor on the power drivers seat, ball joints 1 time, and now other front end parts. this vehicle is primarily used to go to church and travel with the entire family on the weekends for day trips. we have had it to graham ford several times, germain ford several times, (both are in columbus, ohio) and the last place we have it is donley ford in mount vernon, ohio. we can get a full history of all repairs on this vehicle if needed. there have been so many things gone wrong with the truck that it is difficult to keep track. the service advisor is now telling my wife to just trade it in. we just want all of the problems fixed correctly and find the cause of the electrical failures/issues/problems instead of just fixing what breaks and not fixing the cause. we paid 50,000 bucks for this vehicle and have had nothing but problems. the start was when we wanted to go to maine and could not take it but had to take our older conversion van. *tr | |||

| I own a 2004 ford excursion which has on two occasions failed to start and was towed to fairview ford. the first occurrence the dealer replaced the camshaft sensor and reflashed the computer. the second incident the car was also towed by roadside assistance from my driveway. the tow truck driver was also unable to start the vehicle. i was contacted later in the day by my service advisor saying that the vehicle started fine and they were unable to duplicate the problem. on a third occurrence the vehicle stalled in a parking lot and would not restart for my wife. after shopping for approximately 45 minutes my wife returned and was able start the vehicle and it was driven strait to the dealer. the dealer was again unable to duplicate the problem. i have also given fairview ford six attempts to fix misaligned doors that are visibly misaligned and cause the door to have to be slammed to close them. the doors were misaligned when purchased and the dealer is unable to fix them. at one point after the dealer tried to align the front drivers side door i could stick my fingers in between the door and the body all the way to the outside with the door closed. the vehicle has been in the shop a total of 35 days and now has 16k miles. my wife is afraid to drive the vehicle with my three young children for fear of stalling and causing an accident. *nm | |||
