2000 FORD EXCURSION Complaints

THE FRONT RIGHT SEAT OCCUPANT HAD USED THE SEAT HEATER. THE NEXT DAY, THE SEAT COVER AND CUSHION WAS BURNED THROUGH. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AT HOME. APPARENTLY THE HEATING ELEMENT CAUGHT FIRE.

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED A HOLE IN THE SEAT WITH MY DAUGHTER SEATED IN IT WHILE WE WERE DRIVING.

I WAS SITTING OUTSIDE ON MY PATIO AND I HEARD A CRANKING SOUND OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMEONE IN NEED WHEN I WENT TO GO LOOK IT WAS MY VEHICLE SOUNDING LIKE IT WAS CRANKING BY ITSELF AND THEN IT STARTED SMOKING UNDER THE HOOD AND UNDER THE VEHICLE. MY KEYS WERE IN MY APT THE WHOLE TIME AND MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED. I CALLED THE FIRE DEPT. AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A ELECTRICAL SO THEY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY ONLY. SO IT IS UNKNOW

IT'S HAPPENED BE FOR BUT NEVER SO SCARY. WE WERE COMING DOWN ONE OF THE MOUNTAINS ON HIGHWAY 299. WE WERE,DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 55. AND AS WE APPLIED THE BRAKE IT STARTED PULLING TO THE RIGHT. LIKE IT WAS GONNA GO OFF THE ROAD. IT ALSO WAS VIBRATING SO BAD IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FALL APART. WE PULLED OVER CHECKED FOR LOOSE BOLTS. TIRE IMPERFECTIONS BUT NOTHING.

TURNED ON MY HEATED DRIVERS SEAT AS I LEFT MY DRIVEWAY, SHORTLY AFTER I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. PULLED INTO STORE PARKING LOT, TURNED EXCURSION OFF, GOT OUT, THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING IN THE ENGINE OR BRAKES. DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. FINISHED MY DAY, ARRIVED HOME AND NOTICE A BLACKISH BROWN AREA ON DRIVERS SEAT. FURTHER INSPECTION WAS THAT THE SEAT HAD A BURNT AREA. THANK GOODNESS WHEN I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT EARLIER THAT I TURNED THE EXCURSION OFF THUS DISENGAGING THE HEAT SEAT. OTHERWISE I FEEL THE EXCURSION WOULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE.

CAR WAS STOPED AND I TURNED THE LIGHTS ON AND THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON. THE PLUG THAT THE LIGHTS PLUG IN TO WAS REPLACED AND THE LIGHTS WORD. IT SEEMS THAT THE CENTER POST ON BOTH OF THEM HAD BURNED OUT.

THE NOB ON THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS LOOSE, IT WORKS BUT I SEE ON A WEB SIGHT THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH BUT MY DEALER SAYS THAT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL, WHATS THE DEAL?

WAS DRIVING, WHEN I TURNED THE LIGHTS ON THAY WOULD NOT WORK. CENTER POST OF THE PLUG THAT CONNECTS THE HEADLIGHT BULB BURNED OFF ON BOTH HEADLIGHTS AT 115000 MILES. BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I REPLACED THE PLUGS AND THE LIGHTS ARE WORKING.
