Tl* the contact owns a 2002 ford excursion. The contact stated that each time she drove the vehicle, it stalled without warning. After the failures, all the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact coasted the vehicle over to the side of the road and waited a minute or more to restart the vehicle.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed, but the technician could not find a failure code. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer and was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 07v553000 (engine and engine cooling). No further assistance was offered. The approximate failure mileage was 210,000.

The electronic controller for the over drive lock switch is shorting out in my 2002 ford excursion. I experienced a problem with the gauges turning off while I was driving around atlanta, ga with my family. The battery went dead because the fuse that controls the dash gauges blew. The alternator quit charging the battery, and the gauges quit working. I did not notice this problem until I was stopped at a red light and the engine died. I restarted the car, put it in drive and when the light turned green the engine began to stall and the transmission would not shift. Take off was very sluggish. The engine ran for about 300 feet and died again so I pulled into a convenience store parking lot. I determined the battery went dead and bought another one to get me home. My wife took the car to a service center and they found the bad fuse for the dash gauges. This was about 3 months ago. The car has blown several fuses since. Today the car's gauges would work intermittently. While driving the car the gauges would go one and off when I tried to set the cruise control or move the gear shifter. When I got home this evening I disassembled the plastic covers for the steering column. I found that the wire for the over drive lock out switch has insulation that has rubbed off leaving a hole. The exposed wiring is grounding out onto the shaft of the gear shift that parallels the steering column. Please inform ford of the potential fire hazard, and let them know that they have to find a better way of routing wire around moving metal surfaces to prevent shorting out the wiring.

2002 ford excursion, limited. Engine stalls when coming to stop at traffic signs, signals. Will restart in park but die immediately upon being put back in gear. Has been to authorized ford service dealership, now 5 times, multiple testing with flight recorders, multiple part replacements, still no appropriate resolve. Currently back at dealership for another probable excuse, without definitive correction.
