“Have 2000 Ford Excursion. I had the door lock actuators replaced in 2003. Since then I now have 2 door locks and the rear tailgate that will not lock electronically. Seems as though the electrical system is going out one thing at a time.”
NHTSA complaint #10230175, filed 2008-06, 60,000 miles“I have a 2000 Ford Excursion and all my door locks do not work. It tries to lock and unlock them, but it does not have enough power or something. I have talked to other owners that have the same problem. I was just wondering why there hasnt beena recall if there are many people with the same problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10090524, filed 2004-09, 73,000 miles“I have a 2000 Ford Excursion 4x4. The problem is none of the door will lock or unlocked using keyless entry and door lock switch. I read that Ford has a serious problem with the door lock actuators from many models of Ford trucks for some time now. There are so many complaints out there about this problem with no one willing to help the consumer especially Ford. With this said I have to wonder why the national highway traffic safety administration isn't helping !!!!!!!!! What will it take so the consumer can get help? …”
NHTSA complaint #10152236, filed 2006-03, 23,000 miles“I am the owner of a 2000 Ford Excursion (diesel). Since owning the vehicle I have had a continuous problem with the automatic door locks. When they fail, persons can not enter or leave the car. Two years ago I took the vehicle to the Ford dealer so they could repair or replace two failed door lock mechanisms. Instead of replacing only the two failed components, they replaced all 4 doors (not the hatch) and told me they know the others will fail as well. Now the rear passenger door lock and the hatch door lock do not work. …”
NHTSA complaint #10058601, filed 2004-02, 56,000 miles“After using remote and keyless entry, doors appeared to be unlocked but the doors would not open. Finally the door lock released the door and gained access to the car interior. Tried all 5 doors before drivers door finally opened. While driving, the door ajar light came on and the drivers door opened with no warning. This happened to both rear doors also.”
