Ford Excursion 2003 Electrical SystemFord Excursion 2003 Electrical System Review #10307489 FORD EXCURSION 2003 car safety problem was reported on Feb 01, 2006.FORD EXCURSION 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . i have a 2003 ford excursion v-10. this vehicle is equipped with adjustable foot pedals which routinely stop working, sometimes in the fully retracted position. when this happens the drivers seat also does not work, making the vehicle un-driveable for my wife whose reach is considerably shorter than mine. fords solution to this problem is to replace the seat at an out-of-pocket cost starting at about $800.00, instead of tracing the bad wire or faulty control module. internet research has shown me that this problem is apparently prevalent in the larger ford suv's manufactured from 2003-2006. i feel this defect should be corrected in a factory recall and not at the expense of vehicle owners when the problem is clearly faulty exuipment / design. thank you for your attention to this matter..Mileage was 25286 miles.

Ford Excursion 2003 Reports
my 95 ford exploere engine surges when turn my air conditioner on Ihave a 1994 ford probe which has started to idle very low and stalls at times. It is a 4 cyl. w/ air and a 5 speed. any ideas? I replaced the fuel filter, air flow meter and added HEAT to gas tank to dry and clean fuel system. I think my pcv valv should a standard transmission truck start when it is in gear without the clucth engaged? should a 2005 standard transmission ford ranger start when in gear without the clutch engaged? 96 Ford F250 Emergency brake lever gets caught on the auto adjustment spring, causing brakes to be permanently engaged, also allowing the parking break lever to rub against the hub, which can cut through over time. try pushing the pedals button closer to you. you must have the pedal adjustment button to the left of the radio, looks like a foot, that brings the pedals more inward towards the driver. hope it helped. or look carefully if a wire has corroded. it i would check ur multi switch on ur stearing colum on the pedal whats the sound Just bought an '06 E-350 van. Left d'ship got on highway and noticed shimmy when I got to 60....same problem???? that happened to me last night! If you rock the car back and for while shifting then it should release the safety lock! why does it take turning off the veh. while pulling in on the shifter arm, them starting it again while still holding it inwards ever so slightly??
