1999 Ford Expedition acceleration problems

Filed Oct 5, 2019 · Acceleration, Electrical · CA

My car has been over heating and having problems since I first bought it. I could not understand why I have to continue to keep fixing it after I just bought it. Someone told me to check if it had a recall and sure enough it does! I checked on the dmv website today.

My expedition started acting like it was starving for fuel misfiring loss of power and there's a ticking sound coning from under the dash board the door lock unlock the lights flicker and horn beeps by its self I parked it and a couple days later it wouldnt it trying to crank but its sound I dont believe battery is dead if it was then lights wouldn't come on now and again also when I use my key ring lock to lock the door there's a clunk cluck sound I've spent a lot of money trying to find out what's wrong with lamont that's my expeditions name and nobody knows last repair shop had it 9 days total on the 7th day I called them they said they had no idea and on the 9th I went in and they said I needed a new motor costing 2600 and charging me 220 to tell me that. The shop before that cost me 350 saying the truck itself were the plugs go in was stripped and they needed a special tool. Any how I believe it would be a matter of time before the vehicle will catch on fire. The vehicle is very unpredictable and you dont know what it will do next it also dies while driving it ..

My husband and I returned from our daughters house around 6pm, almost 8pm we heard 2 loud booms and then we looked out the window and the vehicle was in flames just in the front and shortly after the tires popped. The SUV was then blazing high at this time,then the fire department showed up. After sitting down and thinking a minute we remembered the recall cruise control switch issue with ford which a lot of people reported fires happening. So now we wondering if this has anything to do with the recall. We would like someone to investigate this, we are very old and this was our only means of transportation. I don't understand how a vehicle that runs perfectly fine and had been off a couple hours can burst into flames in the front , I could understand maybe if were associated with the gas tank but I'm baffled. Please feel free to contact me!
