TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER MASSIVE AMOUNT BLACK SOOT EXITING EXHAUST WHILE DRIVING RECALL # 05V270000 WAS NOT PERFORMED ON VEHICLE ( I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER) NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE IN MAIL AND DEALER SOMEHOW MISSED THIS "WORK" AND FORD SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED THROUGH ON THIS SITUATION. OTHER REPAIRS DONE TO THIS VEHICLE TO "FIX" THIS PROBLEM WAS TO DRAIN THE FUEL TANK (ALGAE IN FUEL WAS THE EXCUSE-NO ALGAE) FUEL PUMP AND FILTER RAIL (NOT PROBLEM) TWO TURBOCHARGERS WERE REPLACED DUE TO EXCESSIVE SOOTING (ONE WARRANTY ONE AT MY EXPENSE) EGR VALVES AND A CAM SENSOR (FORD KNOWS THE PROBLEMS EXIST BECAUSE FORD DISCOUNTINUED THE 6.0 LITRE MOTOR) THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER MY OWNERSHIP.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT WILL GO INTO A REDUCE POWER MODE OR SOMETIMES STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, FROM AROUND TOWN TO HIGHWAY DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHEN TRYING TO MAKE LEFT TURNS AND POWER IS LOST OR ENGINE STALLS. ALSO ENGINE FAILS TO START OR STARTS AND STALLS RIGHT AWAY ON OCCASION. CALL FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND DEALER AND THEY TELL ME MY VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS BUT I AM NOT COVERED. DON'T WANT TO SPEND MORE MONEY AT DEALER IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING AND HOW TO FIX IT.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL

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.

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.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL

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.
