2000 Ford Excursion Xlt Needs Works Please Read Description on 2040-cars
Kenosha, Wisconsin, United States
|
We have a 2000 Ford Excursion XLT V10 with 4-wheel drive. It has over 300,000 miles, and it does need work. It will run, but it is not safe to drive long distances as it had a small leak in the brake line that has turned into a bigger leak. It needs to have brake fluid added before taking it anywhere. My brother looked under the truck and could said he could see where it was leaking from. It also has the spark plug issues. We believe a spark plug blew a few weeks ago; now the truck runs really loudly and there is gas odor. All the spark plugs do look like they are intact however. We took it in for testing and found the spark plugs 2, 3, and 7 have cylinder misfires detected. There is a slow leak in the right rear tire. In the past, we have put fix a flat in it, and that has helped. Since the vehicle has been sitting undriven for a few weeks, however, the tire is currently flat, but we do have a full size spare tire. The air conditioning is not working. We have been told that it needs a new compressor. Just recently someone ran into the passenger door and dented it when I was parked at work. The front driver's side mirror was also damaged. The heat and the blowers--both front and rear worked fine the last time we ran the heat back in April. We've had the steering column replaced. We had over $1000 in front end work done a few years ago, so the four wheel drive system works fine. There is some minor rust in places. We've used it as a family car for the last several years (a majority of the miles that we put on it were highway miles--trips to Milwaukee, Chicago, Oshkosh, and Philadelphia)--we are the second owners--we purchased it back in 2006). I love this truck and would keep it and get it repaired, but now that we have seven children, there isn't enough passenger seating (it seats 8), so we've purchased a passenger van. Because it has been a primary vehicle for a large family, the interior needs much work. The seats aren't in too bad of shape, but the carpets have seen better days. Everything needs to be cleaned thoroughly. It does have the third row seating and tow package. The fair condition estimate for this model is $4295. Local pick up only. We are in Kenosha Wisconsin, right near the Illinois border, so we are in close proximity to Chicago and Milwaukee. Please send us your best offer.

Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning
Thu, 14 Mar 2013Racer and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust has partnered up with Cobb Tuning to create a special-edition Ford Focus ST. The limited-edition hatches will come packing a reflashed ECU, special intercooler, tweaked intake and freer-flowing exhaust for up to 20 percent more power than the stock creation. Cobb says that the changes should push the final dyno figure to above 300 horsepower. Buyers can also expect to find special carbon fiber aerodynamic bits on board along with a new grille, graphics and wheels. Cobb hasn't released pricing on this Tanner Foust Edition Ford Focus ST as of yet, but you can bet the whole kit won't be cheap.
Fortunately, the company will sell you bits and pieces from the overall package for your Ford, and word has it engineers are also whipping up a Foust Fiesta ST. Look for Cobb's Focus ST website to go live next month, complete with accurate specs and pricing. Until then, enjoy clicking through the gallery here.

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
MyFord Touch getting second update, extended warranty
Wed, 28 Nov 2012There is no doubt that Ford has had its hands full fielding complaints with its MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems these days, but looking to keep its customers happy, Ford is once again upgrading its infotainment systems and extending the warranties. Despite having just sent out updates for its systems back in March, Automotive News says that customers are still complaining about the speed and ease of use.
Vehicles with MyFord Touch will now get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty, while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Previously, the systems were covered under basic warranties (three-year, 36,000-mile for Ford and four-year, 60,000-miles for Lincoln).
What is being referred to as "version 3.5" for the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems will be mailed out (or downloaded) next month for owners of cars without navigation and in January for cars with nav. Owners of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will get the update sometime in the first quarter of next year.
