ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
02/27/2010
 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.

 Tl- the contact owns a 2005 ford excursion. the exhaust regulator for the vehicle is failing. this failure causes heavy white smoke to come out of the tail pipe and if the vehicle is driven for long periods of time, the head gaskets over heat and allows water and gas into the engine. the dealer inspected the vehicle and stated that this a known problem on the vehicle. the failure mileage and current mileages was 163000.

 My vehicle randomly experiences engine stalls while driving. it has stalled while traveling up to 40 mph in traffic. when it stalls i lose power brakes and steering. i've had the vehicle at the dealer off and on for approximately two months and they are unable to fix the problem. *tr

 Spark plug blown out of head of vehicle, brought to dealer and was told it was not covered by warranty because the plug had loosened ,these plugs were factory installed therefore it should be considered defective workmanship and should be covered under warranty. this problem is a common occurrence with ford motors as i have been made aware. i have also reviewed many articles relating to this several of which are quite disturbing mainly the fact that there have been instances of spark plugs ejecting and rupturing the fuel line which sits directly above the spark plug causing a fire and engulfing the vehicles in flames. being as i have a large family we have a ford excursion and we have children strapped in car seats i am quite concerned that this is even a remote possibility and i feel that this should be a grave concern for your organization as well. bottom line is ford has an engineering problem with these motors and needs to be held accountable and correct them. *tr

 Tl*the contact owns a 2005 ford excursion. occasionally, the vehicle shuts off and does not restart. in november of 2007, while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle shut off and the steering and brakes failed. the dealer replaced the high volume oil pressure pump and the vehicle began operating normally. the manufacturer stated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign id number 05v270000 (electrical system:wiring) and could not provide reimbursement. the current mileage was 43,000 and failure mileage was 41,000.

 Driving on intersate 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 assitance. 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.
