Consumer Description

2004 FORD EXCURSION: THE ENGINE FAILS DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHICH ELIMINATES POWER BRAKES, STEERING. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS, WE WERE ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND BY A 18 WHEELER, THE ENGINE FAILED WHILE EXITING A RAMP ON I-95 AT 55 MPH. I HAD TO PLACE THE TRUCK IN NUETRAL, BRAKE, TURN AND RESTART THE TRUCK WITHOUT FLIPPING OVER THE EDGE OF THE RAMP. THE ENGINE IDLES AT DIFFERENT RPMS, THE VEHICLE WILL JERK FORWARD WHILE BRAKING MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS IN PARKING LOTS WITH PEDESTRIANS WALKING IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK.I ALMOST HIT AN ELDERLY WOMAN WALKING IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN TO BE AROUND THIS VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE 04/2004. THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE TRUCK FOUR TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS.THEY HAVE REPLACED DIFF SENSORS AND RE-CALIBRATED FUEL COMPUTER. *AK
