2004 Ford Excursion Brakes Problems

“I had a 1998 expedition before buying my 2004 excurion, and I could not keep brakes on the expedition. When shopping for the Excursion I made it a point to ask if the brakes were more heavy duty due to my problems on the expecition. I was mislead to believe that the ton framework would translate into more heavy duty brake systems. I had my Excursion in for service at 20k and requested my brakes be examined when my tires are rotated. I picked the vehicle up to find the tires were never removed or rotated. …”

“I was having a problem with the brakes on my 2004 Ford Excursion. The first time was around may of 2005 the truck had about 15000 miles on it. After driving it for short trip, every time I used the brakes, the whole front end and steering wheel would shake. The dealer machined the rotors and sent me on my way. Now it has 38000 miles and it's doing it again. It's so bad that you feel like every time you brake you might lose control. I don't think the front rotors on the truck are up to standards. The dealer says they can't help due to the mileage of the truck.”

“Dt: vehicle was involved n an accident due to brake failure. The ABS went out. When opened the hood for investigation the master cyclinder separted from the brake booster cylinder. No lock on bolt and the nut sheared itself off. Called Ford and left message. Had to put new transmission at 16,000 miles as well. Had 2 mechanics look at this and suggested Ford should take notice.”

“The contact owns a 2004 Ford Excursion. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 MPH he depressed the brake pedal but the brakes failed to respond. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that one of the brake lines was corroded and had a hole rusted through. As a result, the brake line needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 76,745.”
