Excursion 4WD 10-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 71,436 miles
The spark plug popped out of the head of my 2002 Ford Excursion. The dealer repaired it at a cost of around $500. They told me they never heard of this before and I was lucky I didn't blow the motor at a $7000,00 cost. I first felt lucky when I called customer service they too said it was new to them also. Many of my friends say this problem is a common one. Now I want to know how common and if so why do I have to pay for their design flaw.

Excursion 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

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.
