Our ford 2003 excursion speed control/cruise control stopped working after the recall repair has been performed. There is brake fluid leaking from the master cylinder on the wiring harness. Ford states they will not repair again for no charge. My complaint is that I believe this should be taken care of at no charge to the consumer. Thank you

Adaptive cruise control problems by model year
What owners say
Driver used cruise control on tollway, got off tollway fire started 1/4 mile from exit. Ford excursion v 10 gas engine, cruise control deactivation switch failure got hot causing engine fire. The diesel engines were recalled for the same reason. This vehicle is a limousine/qvm. The federal safety agency campaign # 07v078000 manufacture campaign # 05s28.
Cruise control stuck; does not release with pressure on brake pedal. The cruise will only release with the cruise 'off' button on the steering wheel or if brake pedal is pushed to the floor. This is dangerous and has the potential to cause a rear-end collision. Plan to take it to dealer next week; hopefully this will be covered even though vehicle warranty has expired. I won't use cruise until then.
When in speed control at 55 MPH after a long down hill the cruise control will sometimes cause the engine to stall. This occurs while the vehicle is still traveling at 20-30mph. The result is loss of steering control and power brakes. The engine can be restarted immediately. Reported problem to selling dealer on about 11 november 2003. No action taken. Reported problem to service dealer on approximately 15 feb 2004. Updated rom. Reported problem again to service dealer on 19 march 2004. Re-flashed rom. Otherwise no action taken.
Dealership has refused to repair ( warranty ) my 4 month old 2003 ford excursion. The door locks do not work, the roof leaks, the hood is crooked. The cruise control sticks and the truck accelerates but when the off button is pushed the engine dies. The paint has 100,000 rust particles in the finish, the primer is showing through the white paint in places on the truck, strange noise when the truck is first started.
