2000 Ford Excursion lights complaints

Filed Apr 5, 2005 · Lights · 74,000 miles · NC

Button which turns on headlights broke off of switch. I found that there was a recall for 2000 excursions for this particular defect but when I went to the dealership and later called ford they claimed that my vehicle was not included in the recall. They insist that I have to buy the $85 headlight assembly just to get the $5 knob. I am currently using a pair of needlenose pliers to turn headlights on and off which is unsafe when driving.

I went to turn on my headlights and the knob broke. I am unable to turn on my headlights without using a pair of plyers. I have been trying to find a replacement knob and one is not available without buying from ford the whole headlamp switch for 85.00. All I need is a 5.00 knob. I saw on your website that certain 2000 ford excursions with this same problem were recalled to fix this problem. Ford is saying mine in not included in the recall. I don't understand that if this was a problem, how they can only recall certain ones.
