Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Multiple times over the last several months my 2001 ford excursion with a 7.3-liter diesel engine has cut out intermittently. if i am traveling at highway speeds it will cut out briefly and then resume running. if on the other hand i am idling up to a traffic light and it cuts out, it must be restarted using the ignition switch. this is a potentially hazardous situation given there is no power steering or brakes available in these instances. i noticed a report in my local newspaper today (3/5/06) explaining this exact issue with other 2001 excursions. *jb
