2001 Ford Excursion Latches, locks and linkages Problems

“I have a 2001 Excursion and the driver's side seat belt pops free by it's self several times during a couple of hours of driving. Dealer said it wasn't covered.

This happened to myself and to my family members with very little pressure being applied in shutting the door. …”

“Excursion was bought 7-01 approximately 3months after purchase head lamp switch broke off. Took truck into dealer and was told this was not covered under warranty and would be 190.00 to fix.

It would be logical to me if the part number for the 2000 Excursion and the 2001 Excursion are the same then they both should be recalled. …”
