2000 FORD EXCURSION — Complaint #414675
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY:HANGER,BRACKET filed June 25, 2003
NHTSA complaint #414675 (ODI reference 10024965) concerns a 2000 FORD EXCURSION and was filed on June 25, 2003. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 25, 2003. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as suspension:front:springs:leaf spring assembly:hanger,bracket, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD EXCURSION cohort independently describe similar suspension:front:springs:leaf spring assembly:hanger,bracket failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2000 FORD EXCURSION shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
