| 2004 ford excursion diesel with 6.0 engine. the engine is crap. the fuel injectors are bad it's a known problem. i was in an intersection while making a left turn with an on coming vehicle when i had no acceleration and black exhaust was coming out of the tail pipe. i had my 3yr old daughter on that side of the vehicle. this isn't the first problem we have had with this engine as has almost everyone else that owns it. it needs to be recalled. it scared me so bad i cried. i have called the ford consumer number they did nothing. i am paying ford $1,500.00 to fix the problem that i was told would continue to happen because it's a defect in this particular engine. in the words of one of fords mechanics he wouldn't own one, they are crap i'm scared to drive it even after it gets fixed knowing another may go soon or the same one. *tr | |||

| Vehicle will not get fuel. attempt to accelerate and car either will not move or dies. fourth time vehicle has been in for repairs. occurs every three to six months. vehicle is 6.0 2004 xlt diesel excursion. egr valve and ficm module, right bank of injectors replaced february 2009. may 2009 vehicle towed again and egr valve replaced again and ficm reprogrammed again. vehicle is working for the time being. however, both banks of injectors, ficm module, egr valve x 3, high pressure oil pump, ipr valve, fuel pump regulator all replaced. car continues to have safety issues regarding stalling and lack of acceleration. almost gotten hot multiple times due to car stalling and not running. safety is very much compromised. to my knowledge no parts are available that were replaced. car runs well for short time and then needs to be fixed once again. *tr | |||

| 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 | |||

| The hose from the turbo to the intake cooler will blow off and cause pressure loss. when towing a trailer on a hill the engine turbo system will produce high pressure and will blow the hose connecting the turbo to the intake cooler. the vehicle ends up without power, making the situation extremely dangerous to riders and other vehicles due to the radical deceleration, from 65mph to about 15mph while trying to pull to the side. the problem is a common issue to ford owners with diesel engines 2004 and 2005, maybe others. internet searched ford turbo hose blow off. | |||

| I have taken vehicle to armstrong ford, world ford, and then sawgrass ford at least 6 times for the same problem.... my vehicle jumps forward when i am not even pushing on the gas pedal. or it dies when it's on idle position. they have changed parts, done recall repairs, and the last time i had to pay over $100.00 for them to tell me they couldn't find the cause of the problem. i am afraid one day someone is going to cross in front of me and this vehicle is going to jump forward and hurt someone!!! i am tired of this problem i. have been dealing with this since a month after i bought it!!! this is crazy that they can't seem to find the cause of the problem!, and they don't want to try.... i guess they want someone to get hurt. *ak | |||
